I'm getting prepared for the Guinness World Record, and there is something I want to share with you.

 

A lot of people ask me if it is really possible to stay without any sleep for 3-4 days straight; and the answer is 'Yes, it is'. However, you should follow some specific rules in order to not just last for a long time but also remain healthy. Based on my personal experience you should follow 3 mandatory rules if you dare to stay awake for a long time.

 

Rule 1

 

You need to be well rested. It's clear that good sleep can help your body and mind get prepared.

 

Rule 2

 

No caffeine at the early stage! Otherwise, you may loose most of your energy needed later. Instead, doctors recommend to eat fruits that fill your body with vitamins.

 

Rule 3

 

Work out! Keep in motion as it brings you the necessary rhythm and gets your blood pumping.

 

For me to stay awake for a long time is not a problem. Sometimes I am concerned about the quality of my performance. I am scared to suck on stage. In other words, as an artist I do care more about how good or bad I will appear during the performance. My goal is to bring a lot of energy. I do care a lot about how people, my spectators will feel during the event, and I promise to do my best in order to comfort everyone including myself.

 

I hope the event will be the most inspiring part of my life. It takes a lot of concentration though. I remember the last time when I challenged myself not to sleep... After the first day I felt as if i was on drugs, after day 2 I realized that my brain had to work harder... Then, as my organs tired, I ceased wanting to eat, and started realizing how fast I was loosing my weight. The only thing i craved in order to stay awake was Vitamin C drink, cause coffee was no longer helpful. on top of that it tasted horrible, and hurt my stomach... 

 

Be healthy, my friends.

sincerely,

i.k.
