Discussion What is the longest time you have gone without Sleep?

[CFLoser]

Right now... 36 hours! >_>

All time, probably 48?? Idrk

 

[noonetoo]

Nice! You're on a roll. Btw, your avatar is adorable : )
I could never do that, would crash. I had a bit more insomnia during my teenage years but even then the longest was like 23 hours.

 

[lemmeeleev]

Like 2 days or something, I can't remember hours though.

 

[Gray Wounds]

Three days (I guess since I can't remember most of my past which I've spent on sleep deprivation, so I'm going to stick on what happened recently. On the third day's morning, I fell asleep at last.

 

[bruisedtorso]

3 and a half days, but i just about collapsed and slept for a full day haha

 

[Pepega]

2 days, I felt like i was high

 

[Exile]

Three days. There was a period where I was doing night shifts full time while studying full time. That meant a lot of consecutive 48-hour weekends.

 

[Redt2go]

sheesh I can't imagine going this long without sleep... Sleeping is the only way I can truly escape my thoughts

 

[kkatt]

I got to 70 hours high as hell on coke
Then had a fucking stroke

 

[Jc40]

Three days. I was really agitated. I saw a shadow of a man walking in front of me.

 

[Pepega]

Lack of sleep removes some anxiety and boosts the production of dopamine from what i read, so i do it once in a while but the first 24 hours are cancer

 

[JJ-NOHOPE]

I have such bad insomnia right now that I frequently go 54 or more hours without sleep. And even after that many hours without sleep I still need drugs to get to sleep.

And the doctors don't want to give me anything to help me sleep. Assholes!

That's shitty. Have heard being too hot makes you sleep. Though I bet you've tried all natural methods. What about melatonin? (sp)

 

[Soon4me]

3 days.

 

[Nitromask]

Probably 3 days, and that was just because of drugs when I was younger. I get cranky if I don't get my 8 hours now haha

 

[3cookies]

3.5 days? Something like that

 

[Memento Mori]

3 days with 14, no coffee just gaming lol

other times about 2-3 days because of depression

 

[ScarsAndStitches]

Two Days is the longest I've went without sleep.

 

[ArtsyDrawer]

36 hours. One particular scan required me to be nigh dead. Never thought it'd be possible to fall asleep this fast in a MRI machine.

 

[GeorgeJL]

IDK 24 - 48 hours.

 

[freetoleave]

never more than 40 hours, after that long i have absences, i feel like closing my eyes for a tenth of second but in reality i sleep few seconds, even past this point i need a bed to be able to fall asleep without waking up.

 

[Lifetimepunishment]

Two days .but now I've only slept about 5hours every day for almost two weeks .

 

[Eren]

4 days, I have very serious insomnia, It was horrible.

 

[Kyrok]

5 nights. On day six, I ended up in the ER, hallucinating.

 

[dysfunctional]

2 days. Mind racing the while time. Went for like 2 months averaging 3 hrs of sleep a night. Real bad.

 

[Skathon]

More than a month with delirious one-/two-hour breaks every 24-48 hours, which was a side effect of a few ironically presumably opposite medicaments and... rather uncomfortable.

 

[AnnihilatedAnna]

I think two days for me.

 

[lostinthedream]

THIS is honestly a question i have no idea the answer to because it involves multiple days/time zones.. maybe someone here can help me.. My longest "day" started waking up at 6 am in Chicago with a flight to Los Angeles... and day spent there and evening connection to Sydney at 8pm or thereabouts Los Angeles time.. I didn't sleep at all on the 12 hour flight, and I arrived in Sydney early am I'll say around 7am local time.. was awake all day there and finally slept around 2am the following morning in Sydney. So maybe 3 days?

 

[WhiteRabbit]

3 days. I ended up going to urgent care and they gave me a month's worth of Ambien. It worked great, but I can't find a doctor who will prescribe it on the regular.

 

[Crazy I]

About 34 to 40 ish hour, i just cant hold a coherent conversation at that point though i can take a public transport to my home somehow
