Sleep deprivation at BH/DC

[not5150]

Hello all,

I was wondering how much sleep you got or maybe more accurately didn't get during the con???

From Tuesday night to Monday... I clocked 3-4 hours of sleep each nite. It pretty much sucked, but I eventually got used to it.

When I finally got back home... I only laid my head down for a sec... and I was out for the next ten hours

I did not sleep at night. I went to bed at 6am the night after Blackhat closed, and woke at noon. Did that for the whole time. It almost killed me.

But I will do it again at DCXIII!!!

Around 4 hours a night. I hadn't been to Vegas before, So I juggled running around Vegas and going to the con. After Saturday night I got a nice good sleep though. :)

I slept 3 hours each night (5:30-8:30). I love Defcon because it is one of the few times of the year sleep deprivation doesn't really impact anything.

I would have attempted a no-sleep weekend (too much to do!) except that: a) most of the people are sleeping during the above hours, and b) I had to drive home Sunday night to catch work on Monday.

Grrr, I wish I could go without sleeping. Japanese green tea is excellent for this purpose (zero sleep and zero side effects), but it works so well it kinda' scares me....

I got to work today and saw that I had asked for Tuesday off and it had been approved...I could have slept all day! But I worked.

After babysitting my wonderful con roomates with their druken selves, I managed to sleep one night for 5 hours! The rest of the time, stone cold sober, and wide awake, gotta love coca cola.

10 hours sleep from Wednesday to Sunday at 11:30pm just from force of will.

Imagine what I am like when I have caffine. :-D

Might have been able to go longer, but the Friday night Guiness made me want to sleep more on Saturday morning.

3 hours, then i flew back to seattle, took a cab home, walked across the street and worked a graveyard shift from 11pm to 7 am...

Worst night of my life.

I went to sleep saturday morning at 6am when security told the guys spinning to shut off the music. I slept for around 4 hours, and then didnt sleep till I got on the bus to go home, around 8am monday. Hrm.. well I did pass out at Poolcon (and had that shutdown, Sorry guys!), for a few hours...

Mmmmm... Red Bull...

I generally move to a 48 hour day.

I think I slept from 3-8am just about every day, but there were exceptions like wednsday which was 5-8am.

Our arrival on Tuesday was 44 hours of conciousness by the time I finally slept.

Then on our trip back, it was getting up Sunday at 9, doing con, leaving the hotel at 8pm and driving 24 hours and finally sleeping after 40 hours.

uuummm yeah... I will say "no worries" because every year it happens.. BUT!! the next time I have to ask you to stop licking me... I will have to have you beaten... sorry, but thats just the way it is... oh yeah.. and next year I will be giving lessons on how to and how NOT TO throw people into the pool (i.e. reaching up from the pool and grabbing anothers foot to pull that foot forward= BAD!!!)

other than that... it was all good :D

BUT!! the next time I have to ask you to stop licking me...

Sorry about that... I was a little... err.. inebriated. Okay, maybe not a little...
Geez, what the hell else did I do that night? I Don't remember most of it... :(

Do you really want to know?


Oh, carrying some sort of id around with you might be a good idea, because it was hard to get you tell us anything about who you were and whatnot.

Well, I was informed of several things I did, via some friends.... little bit of a shocker...

Yeah, I didnt carry anything with me at that time becuase I intended on being in and out of the pools. Of course, I didn't intend on getting -that- plastered.

I'll have to think up something for next year. Maybe a ziplock bag of some basic ID... or something...
