I have done it again (47 hours without sleep)

On Thursday nite, I received a nasty complain from a customer. I had already invested the whole day solving his problem, but yet he made outrageous blind demand to have things done by Friday. So what I did ?

I worked through the wee hours of Friday morning, took two hours of rest 3am to 5am. Then I continue working until 9pm (Friday).

It must be attributed to (high possibility) drinking energized water from BioDisc. In fact, I just don't expect that I could do all well and running around on Friday itself. I just don't expect that I would do it so well.

Previously... I can withstand a day without sleep too, but it was harder with muscle pain usually.

So on that day (5 sept 2008), I slept on 11pm. That sums up to 24 + 23 hours of without sleep and a lot of mental hard work. I am a software engineer (check out my tech blog where I share out my IT knowledge).

The best part is that I could wake up normally the next morning at around 5.30 am (I forgot to reset the alarm clock), I went back to sleep and woke up around 8:30 am.

So, I am not suggesting that we all go without sleep, but sometimes you may have to ?

When I happened to go without sleep for 3 days, I will let u know. So far no one has bothered me for that long yet.
