- I'm not sure how I rate compared to the other contestants, but some
- pretty determined people have failed to wake me. They used loud
- noises, bright lights, icewater, shaking me, and I'm not sure what
- all else.
-
- On the other hand, I can often be woken with gentle scritching or a
- back rub. Gee, positive stimulus works wonders.
-
- Of course, there's more to sleeping ability than being difficult to
- wake, and I know that I am not of championship caliber in the falling
- asleep quickly department. And I'm probably only slightly above
- average in the sleeping in strange places catagory. (Hmm. I have
- been known to take naps on balance beams or on top of railings...
- and I did fall asleep standing up once. Waking up, I nearly fell
- over, but I stayed stable and vertical until then.)

- I think my personal record was the Disclave when I stayed awake for
- something like 56 hours. I kept deciding to go to bed, then getting
- distracted and forgetting to. (*sigh*) Outclassed by the Gypsy
- yet again. This keeps happening to me.
