Insomniac Dont's
Things not to do when you haven't slept
- Driving long distances. You probably shouldn't drive at all, but definately do not leave your county.
- Operating heavy machinery. Although this seems like the greatest thing on earth when you're giddy, it's just not safe. We know they look just like big toys, but for everyone's general well-being, look - don't touch.
- Drinking. This is alright, and even amusing if you're still under the 36-hour mark. But anything over that is typically bad. Not only can you become quite ill, but drunken-ness and sleep deprivation do not mix well.
- Breaking and Entering. We don't condone B+E in any way, shape, or form, but after a few days of sleeplessness you can become cocky, and clumsy.
- Firearms. Do not, under any circumstance, attempt to work a gun if you're hit even the 24 hour limit.
- Building or fixing things. Involves powertools, concentration, and good hand-eye coordenation. And on top of that- things don't always look the same after you've gotten sleep.
