I'm on Christmas vacation from middle school. I can't usually stay up all night -- and from Saturday 9pm to Sunday 9am I'll be at a gaming center all-nighter. It was a Christmas gift -- and something I've wanted for a long time. I want to get my body ready. I'll do this Friday night as well.

S Korean dies after games session

A South Korean man has died after reportedly playing an online computer game for 50 hours with few breaks.

The 28-year-old man collapsed after playing the game Starcraft at an internet cafe in the city of Taegu, according to South Korean authorities.

The man had not slept properly, and had eaten very little during his marathon session, said police.


...


"We presume the cause of death was heart failure stemming from exhaustion," a Taegu provincial police official told the Reuters news agency.

9. Yeah, 12 hours is my limit. I usually only game in 3hr sessions..
at most. So 12 hours is it, nowhere near 50 hours!

7. no, no , no dear
get as much sleep as you can NOW, so you can deal with the all nighter. If you lose all that sleep beforehand you will be miserably tired. I promise you, it's not a good idea to lose sleep over and over again. Your body doesn't adjust, it just runs down and you feel bad and more than likely get the first miserable cold or flu that comes along. Now go to bed. :-)
