Geoff   10 #1 Posted January 7, 2004 Anyone watching this?! As a concept it's very boring to watch and I'm not really impressed with the few snippets I've seen so far. What would be more impressive is if each person was locked in their own room and not allowed any distractions or contact with the outside world... muhaha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Sam Miguel   10 #2 Posted January 7, 2004 I think as a psychological study it is very interesting, but live TV, er - no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Â Yet another reality TV programme by Channel 4, but at least this one provides some form of scientific research. However, the contestants are allowed a "snooze" of 1 and a half hours each afternoon, so although they'll still be SHATTERED, they aren't strictly going without sleep for a week.

Tony   10 #5 Posted January 8, 2004 I once went 4 days and 3 nights without ANY sleep whilst working on a major deadline. After not sleeping for a night it was quite easy. Maybe the trick is just to stay busy like I was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Sidla   10 #7 Posted January 8, 2004 Reality TV can be interesting. That Bedsitcom thing they did a few weeks back was hilarious. This Shattered thing is very very dull though.  Channel 4 do produce more reality TV than any other channel though, it makes you think they've ran out of other ideas. At least their not polluting our pop culture with wannabes though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

No, they are instead polluting us with "celebs" such as Jade who don't even have a talent... ouch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

After not sleeping for a night it was quite easy. Maybe the trick is just to stay busy like I was.  I did something similar when I was a postdoc research associate at portsmouth uni. Worst bit was watching the sun rise each morning from 4th floor lab window and seeing people come into work. Think it'd be easier with no windows and not seeing others go about their daily business and reminding you that you have no life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
kittykat   10 #12 Posted January 9, 2004 it would be so much better if it was done as a proper experiment without all the crowd and big brother ness and that bloody dermot o leary presenting it.  sleep deprivation isnt very interesting there arent any effects that are particularly interesting in any of the experiments that have been done so far in history - just tiredness, microsleep, hallucination and loss of concentration. - i doubt we will see anything other than this. It doesnt need to be done for science sake as its been done loads of times before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
