    People sleep at tournaments?

    I can't count the number of times I've just stayed up the entire night and went in the next day with no sleep.

    I think it's the best way to do it.

    Because then, if you don't break, you won't be upset.

    Because now you can totally sleep.
    I honestly thought FO was dead.

    i think the least i've ever gotten is about 2 hours before a local tournament. but that was, i think, my sophomore year. then i got a complete, full night sleep and did way better, and started forcing myself to get at least 5 hours, if not more than that. and i had to force myself to eat breakfast, too. i always do better with plenty of sleep and at least a marginal amount of food in my tiny stomach.

    My mother, her boyfriend, and all the kids (my little brother and his two kids) are leaving for Illinois to visit family on the tenth.

    We leave for Nats on the eleventh.

    So I'm just going to stay up all night that night and party until I have to go to the airport.

    It sucks that they're gone while I'm gone and get back the night before I do.

    That means my sister gets the entire house to party in for the entire week.

    Man, **** Nationals and it's inconvenient timing.

    well, see, tuck, i have to eat or else i....well, i pass out. when i was a beginner, i couldn't keep food down for anything, and i wouldn't eat at all until after the tournament was over. but then it got to the point where i just had to eat.

    That's how it was for me too. For all of my novice year I would get nervous stomachaches and i wouldnt eat, and then it would just burn me out and i'd get dizzy. So now I HAVE to eat, even though I still don't eat enough...like at CFLs my stomach was bothering me so I ate very little (and I didn't sleep like AT ALL the day before the break rounds) and I ended up getting dizzy in the middle of my quarters performance and literally fainting during awards

    My record is *ahem* somewhere along the 60 hour mark with no sleep. For those of you who don't believe me grrr but its honestly true. FFL States my novice year, friday no sleep, saturday no sleep, and sunday i crashed after i ran out of no dose pills. After that i stopped taking them becuase i was unhappy all weekend.
