    -1/5 inch. You actually get shorter from spinal compression

    the longest you have gone without sleep is minus one fifth of an inch?

    25 hours - totally fcuked me up - and then when i got to bed i couldnt sleep coz my brain was melted


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,412 ✭✭✭andyseadog


    i've probably done just about 24 hours without sleep.

    during last summer though, whilst working 2 part time jobs i found myself only getting 5 hours a night for a few months, generally between 10am and 3-4pm, which any night worker will tell you aren't great sleeping hours.

    Around 40 hours. I remember I definitely stayed up for more than the 36 but less than the ol' 48.

    My girlfriend somehow stayed up the 48. :eek:

    How long do you have to stay awake before you start seeing the pink flying elephants?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 199 ✭✭spcw

    I don't know. Your brain gets a bit fuzzy from 21-22 onwards and you start to forget things from around 30 hours on.

    Back when i was in the 8th battalion of the French foreign legion, i was deployed in the Congo and stayed awake for 3 weeks straight!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 109 ✭✭bobsoice23


    Think I did 48 hours straight over a weekend once...The result was I had diarrhea of the mouth which my girlfriend found hilarious...that was some sleep!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 357 ✭✭Horse_box

    What's the longest you've gone without reading a thread about this?


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    34 hours, never ever again. Despite that I don't think I'm able to pull an all-nighter anymore, always end up wrecked around 11 the following morning, but it's been about 3 years since I last tried.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    Have done 36 hours several times. About 40 hours was the longest. I only managed them last 4 hours as was on a bus back from Dublin to Letterkenny, and I rarely sleep whilst traveling.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 74 ✭✭stupidfishy


    62 hours when I lost count. Absolutely awful feeling and when I finally started to fall asleep (sitting up O.o) my friend started blasting a Korn song with the lyrics "wake the fcuk up!" beside me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 88 ✭✭phoenix0250

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,975 ✭✭✭W.Shakes-Beer


    40 hours. It was like being on some mad drug. I remember getting across the point where I didn't feel tired anymore.

    I just remember feeling like boiled shíte and looked like a corpse.

    Around 38 hours. Very unpleasant.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    Around 36 hours. Went to a party, didn't sleep, then recorded an album the next day.


    That wasn't hard at all...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 577 ✭✭✭Milky Moo


    About 18-20hours.. which is odd considering the amount of caffeine and taurine I ingest!

    I always think that people can do without one vital thing, be it sleep, food or human interactions.

    I can do without alot but not sleep. All my life I have been snoozer, I have even gone asleep standing up! (I was 9 so no alcohol was involved!)

    What can I say I am a sleeper!
