The Key

Staying awake long past due is no easy task for the normal human being. While many people believe they are night owls or insomniacs I can fairly and honestly say, "No, your wrong about yourself." On this same token of cocky equivalence I can also point out that late 40 something year old women do not sleep, expect for the pathetic ones. Not sleeping can have negative repercussions on your body, mind, and spirit, but so what, if you want a longer life just forget about sleeping every now and again. The key to this life of blood shot eyes and endless tales of weird nights with lucid visions is simple, have a good book to get you by when your bored, cigarettes if you smoke, and a deep desire to be more than what evolution has intended you to be. The key in essence is to just say fuck it and keep on moving forward with whatever activity your awake for. Tonight, or at this time, this morning, is all about studying for some worthless and ridiculous exam. Research has proven that the all-nighter is a stupid idea, and you actually become stupider. Do those researchers account for people that have said fuck you to sleep for years? Or are they simply grabbing people who have listened to what society has dictated as bed time their entire lives? Who knows, who cares, moving on. At this point, the best way to go about your day is to live by a few rules. These rules are simply about you, and you should not cave to the standards given to you on a day after rest. If you smell so what you'll go home and sleep soon anyway. If you are woozy, dizzy, or being destroyed by a head pounding headache, well get over it, you didn't sleep and your not going to. Just look at yourself in the mirror, take a deep breath, and say, "Oh yeah, nature be damned, I am my own king." I have heard the world record for the most hours logged without the help of drugs is 72 hours. Any longer than that and apparently you can die. They tested this on rats, the rats died. Will you die? Who knows, go find out.
