What's The Longest Time You've Slept?

giftgrub · 06-01-2012 08:06AM

I did about 20 hours one night a few years ago. I'd been on a 4.30am start in work and just couldnt get any proper sleep at night.

After the month long shift, i went to bed at around 3 in the afternoon, woke up at 10pm for a piss and some toast, and went back to bed until 10am the next day.

The missus even had some friends over for drinks, slept through the whole thing...

I regularly sleep 18 - 20 hours on a friday night after a week of night shifts. Getting through a week on 3 - 4 hours sleep a day is exhausting, can't wait for bed tonight!

12 hours after a midweek heavy drinking session for my birthday a couple of years ago. Crashed in my bed about 7pm and woke up for work at 7am. Fresh after a hungover-from-hell day

Coming from an insomniac that was a true achievement

I hate you all sleepers :mad:

:pac:

*drinks second coffee of the morning after a 3 hour sleep....

When in college, I went to bed at 8pm on a Tuesday and woke up around 10pm on the Thursday. When I got up I went off to xtravision got a DVD and was back asleep by midnight. Got up Friday morning and went home for the weekend......What's that mam? yeah a great week at college....no not much happened.

:D:D

I've just slept for 13 of the last 17 hours.

I don't think I've ever slept more than 12 hours in one stretch.

No lie mate, I'd had a rather rough weekend before it, and was existing on about 4/5 hours sleep a night in the weeks leading up to it.

I myself get by by sleeping maybe 6/8 hours most nights and feel great, But close people I know can sleep for at least 24 hours,get up for a while and then go back and sleep again,it has to be witnessed to be believed.zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I slept close to 30 hours after being slipped something in a drink while on a night out. Barely remember getting home, don't remember getting put to bed. When I woke up I realised I'd lost a day. It was so confusing. Worst experience of my life.

21 hours after taking a sleeping tablet. I took the train from Barcelona to Burgos (9 hour trip) and couldn't sleep on the way. So for the return trip I decided to get sleeping tablets. The chemist said take one and if there's no effect after 30 minutes take another. So I took one. No effect after 30 mins, but I sat it out instead of popping another one.

Just over eight hours later, I woke up in Barcelona to my friends beating the shìte out of me. I was last off the train. They nearly thought that they'd have to carry me off. On to the metro, and my apartment was only three stops from the train station but I still managed to fall asleep standing up holding onto the pole in the middle of the train. My friend told me when it was my stop, I got off, went into bed and slept for another 13 hours straight. Thank Christ I never took the second tablet!!!

Lesson of the day: don't underestimate over the counter stuff in Spain!

30 hours give or take - same as earlier poster, went to bed on Tuesday night after having had basically no sleep for about four days, woke up on Thursday and went to college. Took me till around lunchtime to realise that it wasn't actually Wednesday. Wrecked my head totally, I wonder how people feel coming out of a coma?

I'm a big sleeper though - I've always said if I could earn a living from sleeping, I'd be very rich indeed

I was in a coma for 6 weeks,
Beat that.

23 hours after staying up for 2 days straight to get a college assignment done.
Would have beaten the day mark only my "considerate" housemates came in to see if I was still alive. Grrrrr.

I still remember the chronic Red bull hangover after waking up. ***Shiver***
