Q: When was the last time you stayed awake for 24 hours?
A: I usually only stay up all night if heavy narcotics are involved so it will be interesting to see how I do this.  But I used to stay up all night during college when shows were going up or during finals.  If I can get in 30 minute cat naps periodically every 3 or 4 hours, I can get in this weird zen state where I’m not really tired anymore.

Of course, I haven’t done that regularly in a long time and so it will be interesting to see how I react.  I can get cranky, but more so if I don’t have any.
