Longest You've Ever Slept?

entropi · 07-04-2010 03:43PM #1

Seeing as there's a thread about how long you've managed to stay awake, lets flip the coin and see how long people have slept in one session...

Managed 27 hours myself through lack of sleep and jetlag coming back from America once.

agreed, the most i remember is about 11, and i felt wonky the whole day after it. > 7 hours is too much for me.

I was tired and I was weary and I could sleep for one thousand years.

So I did.

But I kept getting woken by one thousand dreams that would awake me.

So to answer your question - about 18 hours after a few days of no sleep and a big pile of drugs.

Can't say I've ever kept track really. Longest I've ever stayed in bed, not including sickness is probably 18 hours (midnight to dinner time), but I don't recall ever continuously sleeping more than 12 hours.

12 1/2 or 13 hours after staying up a couple of days without sleep.

I doubt I've ever been able to sleep for much more than two hours without waking up.

I'm a very light sleeper.

Im sure people who were in coma's get the most points in this game! :pac:

Similar story.

Jet lagged with a severe upper respiratory infection. Friday night - 11:45pm through Sunday 3:30pm.

So 15 minutes short of 40 hours.

dunno how many hours i've slept but i've went days without gettin out of bed.

smellslikeshoes · 07-04-2010 04:01PM

Probably 20 or so, lot of times in my youth where I would have help to stay awake for a few days then when I would stop I would be down for a long time.

Heard of a man, went by the name of Rip, I believe. Apparently he fell asleep for 20 years under a tree

admiralofthefleet · 07-04-2010 04:17PM

a whole day a couple of years ago

"I haven't slept for ten days.........Cos that would be too long." - Mitch Hedberg.

But I'd say about 12 hours. Jetlag is a b*tch.

Heidi24 · 07-04-2010 04:27PM

weekend just gone - 13 hours 10pm to 11.10am, felt v guilty that I had wasted a day of a long weekend. Years ago did 24 hours after a very very long weekend with little or no sleep, took a while to get over losing a day in the middle of the week!

Bazzy · 07-04-2010 04:30PM

Did 25 odd hours after an almighty drinking session rang the lads looking to go back to the pub to be informed it was monday ... I still went the pub anyway !

Agricola · 07-04-2010 04:31PM

10 / 11 hours max and that would only be because i had been up for the previous 24 hours and was exhausted.

MagicMarker · 07-04-2010 04:33PM

Longest I've slept is about 20 hours. I hate jet lag.

MultiUmm · 07-04-2010 04:35PM

Most I've ever slept must've been about about 13 or 14 hours, which made me feel like crap the whole day after it.

On average I need about 9 or 10 hours or I'm wrecked. My sleeping habits are a complete bitch.

MistyCheese · 07-04-2010 04:36PM

I got up one day and was astonished to realise it was 4pm! I'd gone to bed at about 1am. 15 hours.

There's no backstory to that either, I wasn't up for a week beforehand, there were no chemical stimulants involved. I don't know what happened. I've had insomnia at times, maybe my body was trying to even things out.

partyatmygaff · 07-04-2010 04:41PM

10 hours, felt terrible after it though.

Cheap Thrills! · 07-04-2010 04:44PM

A few days.

I love sleeping.

GavRedKing · 07-04-2010 04:48PM

Most ever was about 14 hours, on a lads holiday, after about 3days of being awake full of vodka and red bull. Dont know how my eyebrows werent shaved. :pac:

G-Money · 07-04-2010 04:57PM

About 10 or 11 hours I think. That was after coming back from Australia where I'd been out drinking the night before and only got about 4-5 hours sleep. I was then awake from about 8am on the morning I left Sydney, all the way through the flight home, and I stayed up until about 10pm that night when I got back to Ireland. I think I worked out I'd been awake about 45 hours solid at that stage.

Actually, if you were to measure your length before getting up after a night's sleep, you'll be an inch or two longer. Since I'm normally 5'11⅔", that's enough to put me over the edge in the morning.

I think my longest was about 16 hours, after a 40-hour day. You can only drink so much coffee before your nervous system gets the yips.

AssaultedPeanut · 07-04-2010 05:07PM

14 to 15 hours, I was doing evenings and covering a couple of night shifts one week in my old job and it messed me up.
Usually sleep between 4-7 hours

jet lag is mad, i slept for about 13 hours after landing in Australia got up for about 15 minutes was so wrecked i decided to go for a snooze and woke up 10 hours later! Missed a whole day of my holiday :mad: the connecting flights meant the trip across was extra sleep deprived, plus i couldnt sleep on the planes !

Alcohol may be a solution here
