hhhhhhhhhhhhh okay. absolutely unhinged rambling under the cut

it is 12:14 am local time and i just finished tma season 1 and i should go to bed but! by my estimate i have, roughly, 83 more hours of content to get through. now, my staying up for a long time record is 76 hours and after i did that i took a 1 hour nap and immediately packed up and drove three and a half hours and did my college orientation day (a subsequent 27 hours ish of staying awake straight through) and i felt like absolute dogshit the whole time but i managed to have fun and be a person regardless, but that was when i lived in a household where i could regularly go several days without being expected to do anything major or come out of my room to interact with anyone, whereas in my current household i am expected to do daily tasks and be at least a little sociable, and i have already been up for 13 hours which stretches the necessary awake time to 96 hours instead of 83 which feels less doable. also, it is currently thursday, which means there will be kids here some time in the next few days and i will probably be expected to be the driver to pick them up and drop them off and even though i really only need a little bit of my attention to actually be on the road, expecially that route since ive driven it so many times, i should probably not be driving kids around when sleep deprived. however, i have in the past stayed up in roughly 48 hour stretches with 1-2 hours of sleep in between if i am very strung out on nervousness or excitement but still put a little thought into being an actual functional human being, meaning that i could forego a few nights sleep and have little naps when i begin to feel nonfunctional. there's also the fact that i could just pound caffiene, but that feels unwise. BUT there is the factor that is the whole reason that i am considering these unwise courses of action, and that is that i am more excited to consume more magnus archives than i've been about any media since critical role two years ago, which was what i was watching the last time i felt the need to forego several nights sleep in favor of media and set my current record of 76 hours without sleep. now, the biggest arguments against me doing this are that in the next few days i will be driving with children in the car and probably doing minor construction projects and because i am a live in caretaker i need to be ready to jump into a life or death situation at a moments notice. the biggest arguments in favor of me doing this are that i am currently going feral over this show because my adhd hyperfixation brain has just sunk its teeth in and i took the SAT severely sleep deprived and still got a 1300 and the fact that i do not have work again until the 14th of next month so there will never be a better time to stay up for ungodly amounts of time listening to a podcast than right now. conclusion: uncertain. i will keep yall posted.
