    Wow. 10 or 11 hours would nearly be considered normal for me. I should cut back. I think I'm a sleep junkie. :(

    A friend always calls the nights sleep after a heavy night out, a 'Coma session' for obvious reasons :)

    12hours is a must for two days out of a week for me. with 8 or 9 im still tired. something like 20-22hrs being my longest.

    36 hours - after coming back from a school trip abroad.

    About 15 hours I think. One Christmas I awoke, it was dark, looked at my watch and it said 6 O'Clock. Naturally I thought it was am. Wrong!

    About 23 hours when I was 6. Came home from my granny's house super cranky so I was forced to have a nap on the couch at 3. Woke up at 2 the next day completely confused and wouldn't believe my mam that I had slept on the couch that long.

    About 17 hours I think.. After my debs about 4 years back I'd been up for 40 hours or something. That was wonky.

    16 hours or thereabouts. I felt like **** afterwards.

    I'm on my mid-term now so I sleep for around 11-12 hours most nights (because if I don't have college, but sometimes when I do). I find it seriously hard to get up after 8-9 hours, like I have to be dragged out of bed. I sleep through alarms and most other noises. I really wish I could sleep for 7-8 hours rather than 12 :(

    The longest sleep I can recall is the day after Paddys day last year; two days of heavy drinking with a couple of hours sleep thrown in. I got home and fell asleep at around 5.00PM and woke up around 1.00PM the next day so around 18 or 19 hours.

    not very long but.... first lads holiday i went on i was 16 and i went with my brother and all his mates, first night out heres me thinking i could out drink them all because i could handle the first few hours we got back to the apartment around 6 and i woke up on the floor at what i thought was 3.15 in the day so i head down stairs to the pool in all of my drunken glory and theres nobody there:eek: so i just take a quick drunk swim(great fun) and take a quick kip on a sun bed, wake up at 9 o clock that night completely **** scared and badly sunburned, realise now that i woke up at 9.15 am as my head could not prosess the difference between the big hand and small hand after the many many many shots:rolleyes:
    i like the way nobody bothered to wake me up although i did have the best holiday of my life and cant wait to do it all again:D
    i came back from that week and slept for a good 18 hours still hungover till the week after:eek:

    on a day to day basis 11-12 hours at weekends or depending if i have a match or if i go out the night before

    school nights a mear 6-7 hours:(

    Just over the 20 hour mark I think, good times!:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,432 ✭✭✭df1985


    after any kind of mad holiday/music festival or the likes i usually need 15-20 hours to get back to myself. the longest ive gone is about 24 hours, i had been on an all night,all next day and night bender. i woke up and had to ask what day it was, never again!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,114 ✭✭✭corkcomp


    about 12 hours .. cant believe some of the times :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,054 ✭✭✭Carsinian Thau


    Probably around 17 hours or so.

    I tend to leave my work 'til the last minute which usually results in a few days of very little sleep, then a sh!tload when the "emergency" has passed.


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


    for about a few hundred miles, i was on an aeroplane


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 337 ✭✭pearliefan


    erm... I think around 13 hours... with about 5 hours tacked on where I was in bed half asleep or awake. That was after oxegen where I didn't really get much sleep for 4 days....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,276 ✭✭✭Alessandra


    I had a really bad flu once and slept for 36 hours.
    During college holidays I sleep for 12-15hours a night if I can.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,688 ✭✭✭Kasabian

    I was 12 and nearly dead with the dubious combination of flu, food poisoning and broncitius. Stayed virtually comatose for 96 hours. T'was glorious-felt like I'd time traveled! :D

    wasn't sleeping the whole time but stayed in bed for 24hrs or more after taking BZP in New Zealand. Ugh that stuff made current legal high hangovers look like choir boys.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,154 ✭✭✭Rented Mule



    Alcohol may be a solution here


    Alcohol is ALWAYS a solution.

    Would have been a whole lot coller if you could have gone back in time, instead of forward.
