No sleep

[davyjose]

Yesterday morning I came home off the night shift and the OH had to be taken to hospital. Everything was grand, but I didn't get to sleep until eleven last night, having been awake since early afternoon the day before. 30 odd hours -- I was actually dreaming while I was still awake/going insane. I've gone longer, but never without chemical help tbh. What's the longest anyone on here has gone*?







*without sleep, not sex. Ya hear me brummytom?

About two days - doing my finals. I don't find it difficult to stay awake, and I don't require much sleep. Seven hours is a super-long lie-in for me. Actually I had about that much sleep last night and I feel slightly as if I've overslept. Weirdly enough, oversleeping makes me feel more tired than sleep deprivation.

I don't know the longest I went without sleep, I would assume around 36-48 hour.
I have done 80 hours on 4 hours sleep before, broken up into 4 sleeps of 1 hourish.

A bit more than 48 hours. Twas a Paddys Day erm....drinking marathon.

Jesus lads, I feel a bit ghey now. I thought I was totally htfuing yesterday. I was in ribbons.

It must be said though: I LOVE SLEEP. Sleep is up there with eating, sex, and days off work, in it's awesomeness.

Once I went all the way to Brooklyn with no sleep.

About 35 hours I think. Managed GAA training around hour 24, 25 and all. Slept very well afterwards.

About forty hours I think...I think I started a thread on it actually. During exams last year I used to pull an all nighter, then go for about a five hour (usually mid afternoon) sleep followed by another all nighter. Considering I usually get at least eight hours that's a big deal for me, I went a bit weird.

For the last 7 days I spent at least 4 of those days with no sleep. Over a period of 72 hours, I got about 3-5 hours sleep... I am an insomniac.

A bit over 50 hours back when I was around 11, actually didn't feel tired but when I finally got to a bed, I literally slept the minute my head hit the pillow and woke up an entire 10 hours later confused and jet lagged as it was 9pm when I woke up. It took me 3 days to get back to normal.

Ooh, insomnia must suck. While I don't require that much sleep, I do need an unbroken stint of four hours at least. I'm a very light sleeper though, which can be awfully frustrating.

Well if you were also an Athiest and possibly dyslexic you could stay awake all night wondering if there really is a dog..........

this may be hard to believe but from Monday morning at 7:45 till Saturday 15:00 I called out to my parents house to see my father dying he had gone gaunt so I never slept till he got buried which was the Saturday,

I was there for people calling to see him, I just could not go to sleep it was like I felt I needed to stay awake, but to be honest it never affected me in any funny way I slept for about 12 hrs when I did decide to sleep.
