Health What's the longest you have gone without sleep?

[CM86]

I am currently sitting on around 84 hours. Feel tipsy/drunk

I've gone about 50 hours twice in the last three months. First time was a combination of exams and stress, the second one was because of an absolutely awful situation. .

84 is seriously bad though, is there a reason why you have been up all this time?

The final hours of one of those marathon awakenings was an exam time, I packed up on the red bull and coffee that day!

 

[Doctor Feel]

Around 48 hours.

 

[Dont be a lemon]

40 hours I think. No drug or alcohol assistance.

They say that you can't not sleep longer than 3 days BUT I kid you not in my early 20's I was up for 5 days straight I wasn't on drugs alcohol etc etc although my nan did die and i'd say it was greving that made me stay up that long. Apparently after the 5th day I litterly passed out and couldnt be woken for 18 hours! I was rushed to the hospital and all. I still dont remember the Ambo ride or anything.

46 hours max never doing that again cause i ended up getting a fever which just killed me

 

[Shell]

A couple of times I can recall.

I used to do volunteer work for Challenge, so I was working at a camp. Had to sleep in the same room as about a dozen kids- so there of course were snorers, talkers, etc. I got very little sleep the three nights the camp went for. I was an absolute zombie by the time I got home.


Also first overseas trip Melb- Detroit, with an eight hour stop over in LA, I think I was up for 40 hours straight, again very zombie like by the end of it. Iirc I almost had a nervous breakdown on the LA-Chicago flight.

 

[Kaladin Stormblessed]

Posting from the afterlife...how is it?

Went about 30 odd hours, going from Perth to Sydney then waiting for aconnecting flight to Wagga Wagga which were delayed by a fair bit, unable to sleep on the plane and at the airport. Still managed to get in a round of golf with my brother when I finally got in but suffice to say didn't do so well...some clubs may have disappeared into the shrubs, if my memory serves me right

 

[HolyRioli]

Pulled an all weekender for a uni assignment, a couple of years back. So, about 10am on the Friday til Monday afternoon.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Just over 24 hours

 

[Lemma]

I haven't slept for 11 days...because that would be too long

Really? 84? I doubt it. Your body shuts down after 2-3 days, you just pass out.

 

[Spudregus_87]

36, can't remember why...

Anything over two days is insane, to the point of being unbelieveable.

 

[cats81]

About 70...my body was fkd for a couple of days afterwards

 

[DrParrot]

about 40 hours... mates 21st... was a biiig weekend.

couldnt imagine going any longer then that though...

 

[Hank_Hill]

96 hours. I was working a week of nightshifts and just couldn't sleep. In the end i had to go to the chemist and purchase some restavit which i took the rest of the mornings after i came off nightshift and slept great. They say if you don't sleep for long periods of time it can cause a stroke as the brain doesn't get the oxygen it needs to function properly.

Really? Everybody? Because mine still hasn't.. Where did you get your 2-3 days info from? Or was that just your own experience, so you assume that's all anyone can do.

 

[dales.girl38]

Probably around 24 hours, not a fan of all nighters, far too lazy for that.

 

[Bunnie]

About 55 hours. Daughter was rushed to hospital for emergency appendectomy. Sat with her thru early recovery until I finally crashed out in the 'comfy' chairs they have in the children's hospital. The mix of adrenelin and sheer stress is a massive stimulant.

 

[beez]

I've done between 45-50 hours a few times, I've always found after around 36 hours my eyes start watering, my eyelids want to close, but then I get a second wind.

 

[Gus]

Two days.

was absolutely spent afterwards. Physically ill.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

30 hours

 

[krisholio14]

32 hours
