As I am writing this blog, I will have stayed awake for currently 39 continuous hours. So far we have received numerous question off people asking how we have been able to stay awake for this duration of the time. Well, we don't exactly know really...
Prior to beginning the experiment we discussed the best possible ways of maintaining energy through dietary requirements; essentially we have ate four meals a day. Breakfast: croissant, Lunch: sandwich and fruit, Dinner: Pasta (or sandwich), fruit, Dinner 2: Sandwich (or pasta). In all honesty though, we haven't planned anything special and this 'diet' has varied, we are simply eating with caution.
I would like to highlight that we have used no stimulants, i.e no coffee, tea, Redbull etc..., we have predominantly drank a SHIT-LOAD of water (roughly 6 litres each so far) and the odd fruit drink.
As mentioned in the footage that we are recording, we have had no special practice or preparation, Luke had made a 36 hour trial run and that was it. We have had a standard night's sleep prior to the beginning and have simply cracked out on throughout.
I have personally found it a lot easier as today has progressed. In the morning I hit a severe wall, however, by the afternoon I had felt refreshed and was able to enjoy listening to music, such as Jeff Buckley and prepare essays.
Although starting to feel the lack sleep catching up, we are currently in the studios tracking Clockwork (Luke's band) and will then carry on by recording our jamming session later, which is expected to take place similarly around 1am.
Andy.
