Hai I got stuck in an over year long subathon before lmao
Throat coat tea (traditional medicinals is the OG but great value makes a good dupe), raw honey, and marshmallows for the sore throat from yapping.
Swap games regularly, you’ll get bored and stagnant with one game for the whole thing.

Regular breaks are absolutely important.
Make sure afterwards you don't have anything you need to do so you can go lay down.
Your mind is going to start crashing as soon as you relax after you end stream

One thing that's important: regular breaks. Self care is all the more important when doing this stuff!

skarifae.bsky.social•45 days ago

Absolutely!!!

Lots of breaks- snacks and drinks like water and maybe a tea every so often with honey/ or a throat coat drink.

You are the BEST 🔥🔥

The stream itself will be the easy part- it's hard to stay awake, but if you're engaged enough and have some caffeine it's easier than you think. The recovery, on the other hand, WILL take time. Give yourself at least a week after to not be fully yourself- you'll need it.

Also if you're like me and susceptible to depression or anything similar, have your support group on standby. After you crash your emotions will probably be wonky for a day or two- have people who know what you're doing ready to talk you down if you freak out. It's normal with sleep dep.

(Ive done at least 3 24 hour streams annually for 4 years running now in various jobs, they're worth the struggle but it pays to be prepared)

skarifae.bsky.social•44 days ago

This is super helpful, thank you! I didn't even think about the emotional stuff but that's gonna be super important 🥺💙

robotfishgirl.bsky.social•44 days ago

Yeah, you know how they say never to trust your emotions after like 9 pm? Go with that rule for like, 3 or 4 days after ending the marathon. Neurochemically you're basically gonna be drunk, or at least tipsy. Don't hold yourself to a sober standard and you should be fine lol

So I've done a bunch of these and what I do is try to sleep for 4-6 hours before stream and start at midnight. That way it kind of tricks my brain into "we had a long day." make sure you take longer breaks then usual. Also really important make sure you have enough planned to keep yourself busy!

Thank you!! This helps a lot!!!

I haven't done a 24-hr stream yet (my record is 18) but I've done many all nighters. Avoid sugar where ever you can, along with carb-heavy foods, drink cold beverages, have a timer for mini walk breaks, splash water on ya face, and see if you can have friends with ya in the quieter hours!

skarifae.bsky.social•45 days ago

18 hours is crazy! Thank you, these help a lot!!

linlupin.bsky.social•45 days ago

I wish you so much luck! Oh and also plan yourself to have at least one off day afterwards, plan meals, self care, all that good stuff.
