Now in my past I have done all nighters. I've worked a few nights, but you can usually sleep in the daytime. I've partied a few all nighters. These all nighters were done when I was much younger. In retirement I have volunteered to supervise in from the cold for the night shift. If you have something to do, staying up all night is not too much of a challenge.
What's my worry now? An EEG test has been ordered where I am to be tested when I haven't slept for 24 hours. The test is at 9:00AM Monday. Now I know part of this will not be a problem. I will have things I can do to keep me going. I'm limited on the reading because I tend to get drowsy when I read. There's no coffee after midnight. I find coffee just makes me feel miserable and jittery. I might go for a walk some time after midnight. But after that it's going to have to be will power. Four AM to six Am will be a struggle. Breakfast might be eaten very early. To complicate matters I want to stay up tonight and watch the meteor shower.
Oh well, I'll get through it somehow. Wish me luck.
Wishing you luck! I could not do it, I suspect. I begin to get drowsy just THINKING about sleep! Here's hoping you make it and they find out something rather than just putting you through this for no reason.
ReplyDeleteI will make it . Don't worry. I wish I had a spot to work at the Casino. Here charitible organizations get a spot to work at the Casino and of course ther's a late night shift. I have no trouble staying awake there.
ReplyDeleteWhat I do if I want to stay awake all night and I start to drift off, I just think of my finances!
ReplyDeleteFinances will do it every time! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI do wish you luck, Red. I hope all goes well for you. Please keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteThanks Hilary. They've done every test except this one. Usually they don't find anything in cases of global amnesia. I will let everybody know what happens.
ReplyDeleteSo, Red, were you able to stay up all night? Hope the test went well.
ReplyDeleteLaurie, the test went well. I could go to sleep after it started. The results will show up later.
