Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

When I was fighting fires after my freshman year in college I went without sleep every other night for two weeks. And the nights we slept we got about 4 hours. And it wasn't like we were sitting around during the day, we were working extremely hard.
It actually depends on what your definition of sleep is. Do you mean REM or dream-stage sleep/restorative sleep? If so, then over the past 23 years I've rarely gotten *any* sleep--I have an anamoly where instead of going into the REM stage, I end up having a slight seizure/brain activity spark up that keeps my body from getting the rest it needs. That's why it seems that I'm "always sick"...or "always tired".
I meant that I went 60 hours in a full wakeful state where I didn't even have time to put my head down or otherwise rest my body or brain. I wasn't even napping
Id be dead - no doubt - i need sleep - one all nighter a week is about all i can handle and even then my ass is draggin - I would say my tops would be 24/28 hours and even then i may have caught a quick snooze here and there -
To be honest I don't know.....used to do a 12 hour night shift...couldn't sleep during the day between shifts I know I went tooo long, it can wear on a person
Sounds about right...
The summer after my freshman year of college/during winter break, I worked for a certain internet "superstore" which was open 24/7/365. My scheduled shift was from 10am-8pm (4 10s) and I would usually get suckered into staying to work the graveyard as well. I'd get home about 8am (hour long drive), get food, work out, take a shower, then head back to work. I did that almost all the time. I guess I just don't really miss sleep too much. Of course, when I do sleep I want to stay in bed for-EVER because my bed is so comfy/cozy.
4 days 14 hours 32 minutes. on a school trip round france and belguim, since it was 3 nights and days on a bus i didnt sleep any of those, 4th night hotel, room mates who had slept, decided they didnt wanna sleep that night. once you get past a certain point it doesnt seem to get any worse.
"On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit'. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high."

I've stayed up for 4 days a few times...although I had assistance...without assistance it was only like 32 hours when I was in high school...I'm weak, I need sleep...
