Current Events > What's the longest you've been without any sleep

(+) Yeah! (+)

Between 48 hours and 54 hours.

It was one Christmas, I didnt have anything else to do, no responsibilities at the time or anything and so I stayed awake for over two days. I just stayed at home watching movies, playing games and going online.

Three days and two sleepless nights for me.

I'm heavily reliant on sleeping pills and they sometimes don't work for me.

47 hours

Around 4 days in the military.

Four days back when I was 18 and balls-deep in WoW.

Haven't gone without sleep for more than a day.

Somewhere in the 60's I almost made it three full days but a hammock tricked me into taking a nap.

Maybe around a hundred hours

As a kid I thought it'd be cool to try and stay up as long as possible.

26 hours. You guys are super human. I struggled for that 26, too.

around 72 hours. I was in a weird place. I felt really sharp though, like mentally and physically. I was on the bus on my way to work and a friend of mine happened to be on it too so we were talking and some other dude got on and either he gave me a dirty look or he just had some kind of resting bitch face and immediately my mind went into this mode of thinking how I'd defend myself if the dude tried to start something and it was like full on john wick shit and I was convinced I was in a place where my reflexes were fast enough to actually make it happen. The dude didn't say anything to me or my friend and I got off the bus and went to work and no fucked up shit happened at any point. I bought some sleep aid medication on the way home that night but I only managed to sleep like 4 hours. Still, that was enough to help. I slept more normally in the following days.

5 straight days while going cold turkey off sleep meds dependency.

Bar none it was the worst week of my life.

About 80 something hours.

Sleeping is basically impossible during alcohol detox.

Probably 30 hours

27 hours or so. Coincidentally, possibly the worst fucking day of my life.

30 something hours. Work shit, refuse to do that shit anymore.

Around a day

I mean that with zero napping or dozing time.

I felt horrid by the end of it

Idk it could have been 3 days but I heard voices i think it was me going in and out of consciousness dreaming maybe, now that i think about it. also i didn't eat either for 5 days i drank though.Never again. I think that whole not eating and sleeping thing I did took years off my life and weakened my brain i am way more forgetful now.

It was around 5-6 days iirc.
I was prescribed a new medication. It made me feel incredibly antsy. I could not sit still. If I stopped for more than about a minute I was going stir crazy and had the urge to move around.

Did not go well for sleeping. I couldn't stay still or relax. Felt like a complete and constant state of panic. I thought I just needed time to adjust, but it didn't get better. After a few days I was totally exhausted and started hallucinating. I was seeing shadow people, and always saw movement in my peripheral.

Finally called the doctor and he said I needed to stop the medication immediately. Still took a day or two to fully get out of my system before I could rest.

just over 60 hours

finally ended up passing out at a white stripes concert

24 hours.

i get weird things to happen to me if i don't get any sleep. one time i tried staying up past that amount i had a hard time trying to do my paper delivery. had to finish that before i could sleep.

48 hours for me and I had to work for 36 hours straight in the middle of that. I wanted to fucking die >_> This was when half my department had covid during the initial strain and the city was desparate for people to work. I made a FUCKton of money but it also really really sucked >_> I'm honestly surprised I still never got covid (as far as I know...)

About two and a half days I think. Went to the hospital with my wife because she was being induced. That was around 5:00 P.M. on a Wednesday. Don't think I slept until early Saturday morning. Similar when my daughter was born, too.

42-46 hours

Maybe about two days. I didn't remember when I last did that, though.

Two and a half days. During the middle of the third I started seeing stuff out of the corner of my eyes and just forced myself to lay down and sleep

I've come close to hitting 48 hours, but not sure if I've ever made it there.

When i went to thailand, i think i was up for about 48 hours. At around hour 42 we got thru customs and i drank 3 redbulls at the airport and that picked me right up.

think it was like 36 hours hours. i just remember coming to work after a whole night of playing runescape. i was really addicted back then was going for 200m fishing xp at the time (i eventually got it too!!!)

one of my former coworkers would stay up for 3 days straight and still come in to work. didn't even seem tired. i witnessed it when i stayed at his apartment during a week when i didn't have work (i had just got put onto a Panama shift and had like a week grace period because of some hurricane stuff). he'd leave in the mornings and when he came back like 10-12 hours later he'd come to drink a little bit w/ me and a few other people the whole night. then leave for work again in the morning wtf. did this for 3 days straight if i recall correctly. id be sleeping while he was at work.

Close to 36 hours.

This is similar to why I had to be up for that long. The exception being when I drank a redbull, I felt like hot trash.

Learning my luggage didn't make the destination definitely woke me up though.

Probably 2 days, strangest part was having the hardest boner for the last 4 hours

Only once ever but it was somewhere between 38 and 42 hours. I played The Legend of Dragoon beginning to end. The only game I have ever done that with.
