    Three and a half days in mid 90"s with a bumper bag of narcotics for company.
    Took about a fortnight to recover though.

    My God, how much did he actually save booking it that way? I've flown direct from Dublin to Toronto (6.5/7 hours) for €300-400. It'd want to be costing about €50 before I'd consider that trip!

    I never really found out the saving,cost 420 anyway.I usually take the direct to Toronto or else connect to London (not too bad) if its worth the saving.

    Forgot to mention,the Dublin to Belfast was by train so it probably worked out more expensive than going direct.

    I had 8 hours sleep since I woke up on Wednesday morning. On oxycontin for back pain which I think is meant to make you sleepy but I've been tripping balls since only getting 30mins to an hour power naps.



    I didn't really answer the question in the thread though did I? :mad:

    About 35hrs.

    Staying up from around 12am till 12pm next day in an effort to 'normalise' my sleep pattern...
    I end up doing it more often than I'ld like but I'm always quite amazed by how well I can still function after 30hrs of wakefullness, although I do begin to feel like a zombie slowly as the day progresses...

    Guinness World Records don't recognize the sleep deprivation record for fears people will do themselves damage while attempting to beat it!

    The missus used to be mad for that Sex and City program. I once made it almost all the way to the end before dozing off. Had a mad dream then where the good looking one with the dark hair and the old one, the hoor, got it on with themselves.

    Mightnt have actually been a long time but it bloody felt like it. Anyway in the end I told herself about the dream and, like magic, I was never again forced to watch the three young women and their friend buy shoes and eat cake and talk durty to each other. Was mighty tempted to say it happened again when that Desperate Wives show was on but I didn't want her to get suspicious.

    About 36 hours on the way to Australia. I had a 2 hour nap in a cubicle in Hong Kong airport and was shamefully verbally abusive to the poor girl whose job it was to wake me up. I really, really hope she didn't speak English, but she probably picked up the general gist.

    7 and a half days. I was absolutely fcuking exhausted and was even taking sleeping pills (zimovane, prescribed), but still couldn't sleep until the 8th day when I started hallucinating and passed out for two hours on the sofa.

    I'll go without sleep for 2 or 3 days fairly regularly. Fcuking insomnia.

    About 40 hours. Hate it when the sounds are further away than what they normally seem.

    Roughly 30 hours or so, it's a horrible feeling

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Had an interview overseas. Woke up sunday morning about 10 a.m. didnt sleep at all, got the 3 a.m. bus to the airport, got my flight at 7 a.m., did my interview, got the flight home at 8 p.m., got to bed at about 2 a.m. That wasn't the longest but it was the worst. I can generally pull all nighters no problem at all.
