Re: Longest You Have Gone Without Sleep

I haven't slept in 30 years.

The longest I've gone without sleep is around 32 hours.

Re: Longest You Have Gone Without Sleep

Mine is about 45-48 hours. I think I was up for about 36 of those hours, slept for an hour or two and then got back up. It was probably during finals week too. Didn't help at all, I did horrible on that final and my sleep was fugged up for about a week.

This has to be a joke.

At least I hope it is.

Phillies to Red Sox?

I like both of em'. Red Sox moreso, but they don't have a nickname as catchy as R2C2

Re: Longest You Have Gone Without Sleep

I can say I've gone without sleep for 40+ hours before, which basically involves waking up one morning at 7:00 AM, pulling an all-nighter and not sleeping again until a bit later the next night. It doesn't feel good.

What feels worse is when you do what I did my first week coming back to school this semester and sleeping ten hours in the entire week. I had five work shifts that ran from midnight to 7:00 AM that first week, and during the day I had classes and other things to do. I only slept for one or two hours each and every day that week. That feeling leaves no comparison to an insomniac episode.

Around 56 hours.. about 3 times this summer, studying hard focusing in school is serious business when you're trying to become an Accountant.

I also had a few 34 hour ones which felt worse than 56 for some reason, breathing was hard and I felt I was seeing things in the corner of my eyes.. lol

I tend to get extremely paranoid when I get passed the ~36 hour mark.

Yeah I tend to go a little crazy and get pretty loopy.


Do you really care where I sent this from?

48hrs for me when I was like 17, to much gaming and parting.

Re: Longest You Have Gone Without Sleep

I think it was about 36 hours pulling a college all nighter studying for finals and finishing a research paper.

Man that sucked and I felt like I was in the twilight zone.

Re: Longest You Have Gone Without Sleep

I'm an insomniac and hardly ever get more than 3 or 4 (on a good night) hours of sleep. I often go 2-3 days at a time without sleeping and I usually end up staying up for 36-48 hours atleast once a week. When I do fall asleep after being up for that long I don't crash for like 17 hours like some of you I get my usual amount of sleep of a couple hours.

One time when SoFla had that run of like 3 hurricanes in a month I stayed at my grandparents and couldn't sleep at all so I was up consistantly for about a week. I find that I can function perfectly fine on little or no sleep because I'm used to it. My friends always joke that I'm nocturnal.

Re: Longest You Have Gone Without Sleep

I've been having trouble sleeping with getting my business up and running and I'll go 30+ hours without sleeping and it really ****s with me. My mind is getting foggy and even with all the meditating I do, still nothing has worked.

My buddy came to visit and I noticed at night his screen on his phone was an orange tint and wondered what that was about and he introduced me to an app called F. Lux. I was able to find it for my laptop https://justgetflux.com and i found a version of it called Twilight in the android playstore. What it does is take out the blue light from your screens and it comes out to be an orange, warmer light during night time and it changes back in the morning.

It worked immediately for me. I was tired by 10 pm and been having great sleep this whole week. Less stressed and more focused in the morning. I highly recommend it for everyone as i see now how harsh the regular lit screen is at night.

Note* Only Jailbreaked iphones can use this type app.

Re: Longest You Have Gone Without Sleep

Around 24 hours, which I actually got pretty close to about a week ago due to a sinus infection that would NOT let me sleep. Ended up missing work the next day.

I pull all-nighters often, but I usually make up for it by just sleeping in when I can. I never try to just force myself to stay up for incredibly long periods of time.

Re: Longest You Have Gone Without Sleep

About 40 hours, and I felt like I wanted to die.

I don't believe you.

Spoiler

In all seriousness, this was interesting to read again. If I'm up for 24 hours now I feel like a zombie. Makes it hard to believe that I used to stay up for days at a time with no problem. Getting old(er) sucks.
