Brian,
I really can't tell you much about it b/c i really didn't do anything at all. It had happened once before for 4 days. In both cases, i did nothing at all. I was not even looking for such an experience.
It's a long story & this is not the DF for it. For me the most preplexing part of the whole experience was that i came away from it w/ a much deeper understanding of how attached we are to the human condition. It was kind of lonely. But, i was not thinking about accelerated learning at that time. The other thing is that i experienced a kind of love that goes against everything we basically know.
So, i'm not looking for that experience again in my life. I'm willing to learn from it. But, at this time, i'm unaware of what benefits it could ever bring me.

12 DAYS!!! that's astounding! 
Why do you think that was?
You must have been meditating often? --how often and what kind?
Please tell me more! What affects did you notice as time passed? I am hungry for knowledge! Please please please, tell me ANYTHING you can think of that may have allowed this to happen! This is amazing!
I feel as if I am at a breakthrough point in terms of my understanding of sleep. I've been making connections up the wazoo. I think that I may have found the key to existing without sleep and yet still functioning at 100% in terms of creativity, focus, and health. ANY info that you could relate regarding your experience would be GREATLY appreciated.
SINCERELY,
Brian
