Congratulations ShayCarl. Now go to sleep!

Insomniac Ironman Round 2 is over and looks like ShayCarl is the winner!
The insomnia started on Friday, October 24 at 5PM and continued on throughout the weekend. The challenge, which was to stay up as long as you possibly could while broadcasting live on blogTV, began with 7 contestants: ShayCarl, Lorax1515, ItsBrent, CharlesTrippy, EmptyIsAwesome, LisaNovaLive's boyfriend (Danny Diamond) and Hank Green from Vlogbrothers aka NerdFighters.

Only ShayCarl and Lorax1515 made it through to Sunday and they we're looking quite haggard by that time. Early Monday morning ShayCarl appeared drunk with sleep deprivation.
Check out this video of him playing with lotion:

By Monday morning, October 27 around 5AM EST, Lorax1515 finally announced he would have to bail out of the contest but ONLY because he had tickets to see the 5th game of the World Series with his dad later. He claimed he would need the 8 hours of sleep to be ready for it. Likely story Lorax!

Here's a video by Lorax appropriately titled, "Who Needs Sleep?"

POLL RESULTS:

We placed a few polls around to see what your reaction to all of this was.

The home page poll asked us this:
How long will the Insomnia Challengers be able to last?
139 of you voted and here's what you had to say:
50% of you thought the challengers would last more than 2 days
40% of you thought that the challengers would last only 2 days
4% thought a only a day
3% actually thought these guys would last a whole week!

The Insomniac blog page poll asked us this:
Who do you think will win the Insomnia Round 2?
34% of you knew ShayCarl would win
24% of you thought Lorax1515 would win
22% thought Charlestrippy would win
17% rooted for Hank Green (of vlogbrothers)
2% thought emptyisawesome would take the win
No one seemed to think that ItsBrent or LisaNovaLive's boyfriend could outlast the others.

Great run guys, and thank you to everyone who kept them awake as well as supported them by voting in the polls!
