It’s done. Thank God! I didn’t realise quite how difficult I would find it going without sleep for 24 hours, especially as I didn’t get as much sleep as I wanted before the event itself.
Ok so here were the rules of the event:
- During the 24 hours I must watch at least 12 films (full list to be posted soon). Done in fact I did 13!
- After each film ends (during the credits) I can have a five-minute window to do as I please Done
- After three films I can have a fifteen minute break I really needed these I was going crazy
- I must watch each film all the way through, no slipping out to grab a drink or something in between Done
- I must not fall asleep while watching the films Done-i don’t know how but done!
- The challenge will start at Thursday 14/03/2013 at 3am and finish Friday 15/03/2013 at 3am 3:08 actually
- After the challenge is over (and I have a few hours’ sleep) I must write-up the events of my challenge on my blog www.mykindofmovie.wordpress.com by 1pm on Friday 15th March. Here is where I slipped up. I thought I set my alarm but apart from briefly waking up at 8 and then falling straight back to sleep I slept til 3:10pm!
So I failed one of the rules, what does this mean. Well I’ve decided that I will donate £10 to Comic Relief. I’ve already reached my fundraising target so this will be a nice extra on top.
I wrote a lot of notes during my challenge about each film I watched just to help me stay awake. At lot of it is a incoherent mess. The rest is me moaning about how I wish I could go to sleep. I’m also still extremely tired. So what I’ll do is go through my notes and write about the films later this week. But right now, I need to crash!
Thank you to those who have supported me during this challenge, it’s what I needed to keep going! And thanks to those who sponsored me too, it’s very much appreciated.
Well done you trooper!
Ha! It cracks me up that you did this. I’m glad you met your fundraising target. Congratulations on finishing.
