The only experiences I have are 2 nights at Barkley and Hardrock...and at both I could barely stay awake on night #2. This year at Hardrock, I had no problems on night #1, but around 10PM on night #2 I forgot to take a caffeine pill and had trouble staying on my feet. I kept sitting down and falling asleep and would catch myself as I started to fall backwards. I also thought the shadows of the grass was spiders running at my feet that made me jump. This all while climbing up a steep switchback slope on a single track at 12,000 feet. I will say that once I got a couple of caffeine pills in me, I was wide awake and was able to start running again on the downhill side. I finished around 1:30AM after starting at 6AM 43 hours earlier.
I don't know how the 6 day people do it, but i guess they do sleep some every night.
