Default Quit or not?

If you were in the house and was part of the current 'not allowed to sleep' task would you want to see it through to the end or would you just quit early on? What's the longest you have been awake for without any sleep whatsoever?

I think sleep is important so everyone is cheery. I think big brother want arguements and fights. I think I would give it a go but wouldn't be that bothered if the group failed. I think they should put in place some clause which means if they don't try the tasks they are punished...like the box task they agreed to quit which as a viewer sucked.

I think I have been awake for about 36 hours and its taken its toll. I just hope when they do allow them to sleep they don't sleep forever...I imagine it will take some time to get back into their system. Oh well it is suppose to be hell.

I'd always try and give things a go as I'd like to see myself as a team player and I'm competitive so the incentive to help out others and myself to pass the task would motivate me to go on and see it through to the best of my abilities.

I think 20 hours is the longest for me.

I'd see it through. It sounds like a fun task, I'd be lapping it up if I was in there.

I really dont think they've got a hope in hell of passing this task.

50 Hours is hell of a long time to go without sleep & considering the housemates haven't been sleeping very well anyway and are already sleep deprived i would give them about a 2% chance of passing this task.

I would be surprised if they even make it to monday afternoon.

Well its longer than 50 if they have been awake since this morning so whoever got up first should tire quickly.

I didn't see this morning but most mornings it seems to be Carole and Laura and maybe a few others who wake early so I expect them to tire faster especially carole with her age it will be hard on her.

I once did 62 hours 20 minutes in a no sleep contest with some friends before, I then slept for nearly 23 hours after!

Not too sure how long some of those housemates are going to last, especially with BB being evil and making it sleepy for them

The longest I've stayed up was around 48 hours, last summer. It was hard just for me, and I had the internet, movies, books, tv... plenty to do!

The week end I don't sleep during 24 hours and it's not a problem. You know, school + clubbing + girlfriend... lol
So I think I can pass it easily !

I'd try my best, bounce on the beds with the twins and if that didn't work then i'd probably quit.
