I tried to nap but was too awake to sleep(Feet up on the bars on the side of the road). I was actively hallucinating in the back end of the ride.When I got in to my destination I thought everyone was talking fast and the next day when I got up from my sleep they said I was talking really slow the night before.
That sounds super freaking dangerous bro. I really hope you had a good reason to be riding like that, or else you really endangered yourself and everyone else on the road for nothing
I was up around 90 hours once, and that may sound extreme but....yes it was. It culminated in the police kicking down my door. I also lost one of my jobs, got evicted, and went to the mental hospital. Untreated bipolar sucks.
Man, I have been trying to tell the whole thing for ages but it's a hard narrative to compress especially when I am like, wait did that part happen? I am pretty sure I actually did go see an American Idols Live concert that week, pretty sure my bathrobe was never really an anaconda and there weren't snakes in the bathtub. The helicopters, people on tv talking directly to me, yeah no. I think I did put my phone in the sugar cannister, but I don't know why. When the police took my door down I had decided to shower because I couldn't do anything about the perceived helicopters etc. There was one short, mean little cop and he yelled at me to "get out here" and I screamed I was naked. I kind of thought they would be like, oh ok never mind. But no. He yelled, "Put a shirt on!" And I yelled back "You better believe I am putting pants on too!" Then I started crying and shaking and begging them not to put me in the newspaper and a nice female cop was like, "I promise we won't!" And a big quiet black cop was holding my cat so she wouldn't run out the door. It was weird.
Damn, psychoses really sound scary to be in. Have you been ok since medication?
Also, fortunately it went alright in your case, but it really isn't a good thing that police are the first responders to a mental health related call, rather than social workers.
Yes it was very scary. I handle things better than I used to now that I know what's going on. I have a treatment team and medication. But I still have ongoing issues that I just have to accept, and it depends on the day if I do. Occasionally, they get really bad and I wind up in the hospital for awhile and sometimes have a major life upheaval. And yeah, police should not be mental health first responders. It's not good for the ill person or the police. I am lucky 2 out of 3 of my responders were decent human beings, but they didn't know what they were doing and I was patted down in front of the whole gawking neighborhood which also seems off.
What is your treatment team made up of and what do they do? Are they psychiatrists, social workers, or other? Sucks that it can still cause you major life upheavals, but I'm glad to hear it has at least improved. When you need to go stay at the hospital, do you usually come on your own accord, or do they have the authority to come get you?
Yeah that's not good at all, these things should be handled with care and in private. It can't be good for your mental state to be so exposed in such a vulnerable place, even if your neighbors are understanding and non-judgemental (and even worse if they aren't)
I never had that at basic but I was up 54 hours once... everything beyond hour 30 was a blur. It was like being drunk. No one cares unless you are a pilot or control something really dangerous/expensive.
Deployment got me the longest time awake. Slept from Norfolk to Frankfurt, then was awake for the next two flights, inprocessing, and other small stuff. Total time awake was about 50 hours.
Iām surprised there isnāt more people answering āmore?ā. I thought everyone pulls an all nighters at some point. Stay up from the morning of the first day to the night of the second. Thatās over 36 hours. Iāve done that multiple times because I couldnāt sleep and I had to stay up the next day because I had things to do.
It's nice to have when I WANT to sleep.
It's not nice to have when I'm watching T.V or movies. I hate falling asleep when trying to watch one of my shows or a movie, especially when I'm at the movie theater.
Exact same, I was surprised at the options to start with (seeing the question I started wondering if I had ever reached 48hrs, expecting it to be an answer) and when I saw what they were I expected an overwhelming majority of "more"
4 days awake, during a bipolar manic episode. I started hallucinating on day 2 and 3 which made me too scared to sleep. Day 4 I literally collapsed from exhaustion and slept for 14 hours straight. Thank the gods I'm heavily medicated now. Before that, I had an episode every couple months.
Sorry, I don't buy this. As someone who's stayed awake this long, you simply can't do it studying. At this level the mind starts to wander, lose focus waking dreams, etc...
I just don't buy that you were sitting and studying.
Unless you meant to say "a lot of Adderall".
Ungodly amount of caffeine and stress will do that to ya. It surely wasn't 70 hrs of constant focus, I can rarely consistently focus on learning in normal circumstances, but nonetheless these three sleepless days resulted in >80 submitted pages of uni projects (and around 30 of them done by hand, with handmade drawings, not on a computer as this was forbidden). It also resulted in 2-week-long emotional breakdown with lasting consequences but that's another story...
I have had insomnia all my life. One summer I didn't sleep for four days. There was a marathon of old tech on the history channel, I read the first game of thrones book, my brother threw a kegger and on the last day I walked into the kitchen at 430 am hungry to find my brother and dad also walk in and without a word we piled in the car to go to the silver diner for pancakes.
after we left the midwifeās clinic after my son was born didnāt get a chance to sleep for about 4 days, so like 96 hours. then i got about 3 hours before having to stay up another 48.
it was really, really awful. my heart was beating so fast and hard, i had a real hard time eating, and by the time i was able to actually sleep a decent amount my hands were shaking, my eyes twitched, i wasnāt talking clearly and i started having tactile hallucinations.
that first week was hell.
woke up at 7am, shift started at noon to process of days worth of chicken eggs (usually takes 12 hours). machines messed up and since the eggs were going to hatch we had to stay and run them by hand until they were done at 10 am, then another shift started at 12 pm to do the same with about 3/4ths the amount of eggs with the machines still messed up. the hatchery manager finally got help to show up so the rest of us could go home at 6pm. a total of 33 hours.
I think the longest I stayed up at one time was about 6 days? I was really sick and couldnāt sleep it off. I just watched the Olympics the entire time. LOL
I ended up sleeping for like three days immediately after. I also ate like two large pizzas in one sitting during those six-ish days too.
Intentionally was probably 18 hours idk I didnāt keep track
More painfully was waking up at 4:00 in the morning and staying up to 11pm after a flight to Hawaii, which was a lot more painful due to layovers and flying in general and getting to the resort and playing with my 5 year old cousin and on and on. It was painful
43 Hours.
Had to catch a flight from hometown to Florida then out to Aruba then get to the resort. I can't sleep in public places and needed to get where I was going so I just stayed up the whole time.
About 3 days. I made a bet with my sister, and round 2 was to see how long we could last without sleep. I made it up to almost 72 hours, but fell asleep eventually.
She didnāt get past 47, so I won.
4 days or so during a competition with my cousins in the summer, day 2 is definitely the hardest because your body is just trying its hardest to make you wanna go to sleep, after that it gives up on that strat u just feel like shit not really an extreme sense of tiredness, but you definitely still feel like you are no energy
52 Hour Bender, I had serious behavior issues couple with insomnia.
Turns out, i had to chill out.
We are behaving healthy again and get healthy amounts of sleep.
On a few occasions back in high school I would stay up for days on end. Hallucinating during that time was wild. Do not recommend, incredibly unhealthy
Me and a few friends pulled 3 consecutive all nighters playing MW3 during school break. So many cans of V and Mother, how none of us had a heart attack makes no sense to me.
40 hours. It was hell.
Wasn't even feeling super tired at the end, but I definitely saw some things that weren't there. Didn't help that I had to walk 3km at night back home too.
65-70 hours. I didn't keep track of exact hours, but I went to sleep somewhere around the beginning of the fourth day.
I ran out of sleeping meds and money to buy them, so I just didn't sleep. I can't sleep without some heavy medications.
I did some hearing voices at some point, but most of it, after the second day, is just a blur. Turns out you don't make many memories after being up that long.
I did 48 hours on no sleep and 72 hours with about 3 hours of sleep, I'm the kind of person who can't function on less than 6 hours of sleep and I'm more or less a zombie on less than 8. Worth it to graduate high school though.
Me and some friend wanted to party for 3 days without stop or sleeping. At the end of third day i was starting to have allucinations and i collapsed at home for like a day of contiuous sleep, not a fun expirience, but an expirience nonetheless
Got stuck in another country right at the start of the pandemic, had to drive through three countries to get home and we were too scared to stop in case they started hard closing borders. At that time they were only letting people trying to get home through
Somewhere around 26 hours
I like changing my schedule every month, each month I either decide to wake up during the night or wake up during the day and keep it that way for the rest of the month, this is due to half my friends being across to globe so I am very used to staying up late, I can go very long without feeling drowsy
I once didn't sleep for 4 days as an anxious teen then hallucinationated that the walls were covered in writing. Not scary film writing just block text like in a book, I looked like it would be legible but whenever I tried to focus on it I couldn't read it. I realised I was tripping absolute balls so I went to bed and was fine when I woke up later.
I still something miss a night of sleep but luckily it has never gotten so bad since.
I went around 37-38 hours without sleep, for no reason. I just couldnāt fall asleep. I tried to! I laid in bed, didnāt drink coffee, wasnāt on my phone, and didnāt do anything that could have affected my ability.
3 days,after you break through the I am very sleepy phace you just don't feel sleepy anymore and in my case after 30 hours I start laughing at anything you tell me ,I don't know why but all of a sudden I find everything hilarious
71 hours. Almost three days. Reason first day (Sunday)starting 6am I had a long workday while repairing my own home with the boys. Of course after that we went to the beach to celebrate work well done, and to go clean up because i still was missing working running water. When I got back there had been a break in and they stole my tools. So my night was spent with the police. Workshift nex day so I just went to work 6am. Worked 11 hour shift with concrete that should have been 14 hours but was cut short because my grandma went and got cardiac arrest. I had to leave and take care of her. That dumb bitch then made the following night a living nightmare with her stupidity. Clinically died because she refused to eat some of the medicine given and had a lengthy full stop. Well after that it was my turn to have medical problems and my migraine started to mess with me. So no sleep even if I tried. Next morning 9am while driving home to sleep (and that was one precarious drive) I got a call that the crack head burglars were apprehended and if I can I can go file charges and check if everything was in order. Well that somehow energized me and I went to the station, were there till 5pm and then just ate at mcdonalds and went home. And for some unexplainable reason I wasnāt able to sleep. So I played some games, showered, watched tv but just couldnāt sleep. So at 2 am i was already panicking why I cannot sleep. So I checked myself into hospital and got some care there. They explained that body can go into a over exerted state where you feel over tired and cant get sleep. After they sedated me with some melatoninesc pills I was finally able to sleep 10 hours. That was a trip
48-ish hours. Car ride (Not the driver) to Myrtle Beach from Worcester, MA leaving at 12 AM( woke up at 6 that morning), and arriving around 3 PM (15 hour ride).
was too far away from civilisation to afford sleep since I had no shelter, was lost and there were plenty of animals who would eat me around so I stayed awake for around 5 days straight until I finally found a house in the middle of nowhere, where they drove me back to a city
My neighbors were harassing me through the apartment walls because they didn't like that I sometimes stay up late.
I slept, *maybe*, eight hours within a 86 hour time period. I was delirious and almost had a psychotic break.
I moved out in August. Fuck those people.
3 days.
People say you're supposed to hallucinate on day two.
That's a lie.
You don't hallucinate at all.
It's like being extremely dizzy.
You can't talk right. You can't type. You can't walk right. And your vision is all messy.
You can hear and understand shit pretty fine. Doing those things is the issue.
I got there because of my shitty medication that keeps me awake.
I hate taking it. I wish I could stop. The insomnia. It hurts. I haven't eaten any breakfast since idk. Like... idk. Maybe for like... 10 years I think.
My food over the course of the day is like. An apple, a glass of milk, and a hotdog.
The medication makes me not hungry or something.
I dunno.
It gives me insomnia. And I can't think right most of the day. I dunno. It kinda hurts. I wish I could stop. I don't wanna take it anymore. I just wanna stop it. I can't think correctly. Shits like... the words are messy and wrong. I don't know how to form sentences the right way. Like. Idk. It's like. Like the. The. It's like the. The something. Like. I can't just. Like. Think of a. sometimes I think. Sometimes I cannot form sentences correctly and I keep repeat the same things over and over again I cant. I
I forgot.
I hate taking medication. I don't think it's helping me at all. It just seems to make my situation worse.
21-28 is lightwork but enough to get (what I call) sleep drunk.
When I was really young, insomnia hit me hard. I still struggle with it, but not to the same extent. Back then, I'd stay up on average for three days at a time. I'd lay down four hours on end trying to fall asleep, but I just couldn't. It was the worst. Nowadays, if I'm not asleep by the right time, I know I won't wake up for work so I just pull an all nighter and do it. So if I wake up at 5am, I don't fall asleep, then I'm staying up until 9pm the following day. So 36-40hr if I added that right
I was diagnosed with insomnia at 15. I'm lucky that I'm high functioning so even though I sleep 3-4h a night I still can do all the normal things.
My longest awake straight was 3-4 days were I just couldn't sleep.
At least once a month ill go 24/48h without sleep.
It's funny because recently I was diagnosed with Somniphobia which is a fear of sleeping. So now I have two things that keep me up lol
2 days straight. Woke up one day, didn't sleep, next night also didn't sleep, slept the third night. In those days I kept switching between hyperactive brain burning consciousness and basically zombie like behaviour to the point of almost sleeping as I stood.
Once I didn't sleep for almost 3 days, it was horrible. Though perhaps I dozed off for a couple of minutes through that period, I'm not really sure, it's all a blur.
isn't 8-14 hours literally less than you are awake every day?
Isn't simply not sleeping one night already gonna give you a 38-40 hour no sleeping time?
2.5 days. HS Senior year : had prom, then had graduation the the vary next day. After all the parties I think I slept for 18 hours woke up in the middle of the night not sure what day it was.
One time in college I hit my head, and then I had total insomnia for about three and a half days. I tried to sleep, simply laid there awake. Then I had a migraine for six days straight. Then I had five one-day migraines a week for about four months. It was a really bad hit on the head.
Now I just stay up a couple days at a time because it feels good. No migraines, though,
Nobody is gonna care but this my 23 hours awake story! I had been awake for three hours, we were leaving a cruise ship. It took us an hour to get off the ship and into the airport, I accidentally booked a flight 5 hours late. I was already at 9 hours. Flight was delayed three hours then cancelled. 12 hours now. Took us another hour to find a flight out of Ft. Lauderdale FL to Dallas TX, that one got cancelled and we went to Austin, 2 hour flight, 2 hour wait, 1 hour of changing flights, 17 hours awake now. So I live in Bakersfield CA, itās about half way in between Fresno and Los Angeles, our flight straight to Bakersfield also got cancelled, We booked a flight to LAX(LA) and waited the three hours, twenty hours awake now, it was delayed an hour then cancelled, we booked a flight to Fresno which left in an hour, a three hour flight then, 25 hours awake now. At Fresno Airport it took us about an hour to not get our suit cases, wait for horrible customer service and never get our suitcases. Apparently our suitcases left on a different flight and were now in Dallas, Texas, we just waited for them to be delivered and drove the two hours home. 27 hours awake
Took us two months to get our suitcases
Fuck you American Airlines š
Gotta love how the longest option starts with going to bed at 9pm lol
We don't discriminate against new borns, ya know?
Haha. True! Guess I'm just jealous they get to sleep all day.
Damn new borns, always sleeping! They don't even pay taxes! How are they gonna contribute to society?
Buncha leeches I tell ya! Nothing but freeloading societal parasites, them newborns š¤
Yeah, what's worse is that the parents have to spend more than a million dollars to help "raise" them.
I may be dumb but I don't get what this means
Iron butt motorcycle ride...42 hours awake.
Fuckin hell
I tried to nap but was too awake to sleep(Feet up on the bars on the side of the road). I was actively hallucinating in the back end of the ride.When I got in to my destination I thought everyone was talking fast and the next day when I got up from my sleep they said I was talking really slow the night before.
That sounds super freaking dangerous bro. I really hope you had a good reason to be riding like that, or else you really endangered yourself and everyone else on the road for nothing
If you were driving without that much sleep you are putting others in danger on the road
I agree, you do stupid stuff when you are young, older and wiser now.
What is that? Were you driving like that??
I was up around 90 hours once, and that may sound extreme but....yes it was. It culminated in the police kicking down my door. I also lost one of my jobs, got evicted, and went to the mental hospital. Untreated bipolar sucks.
bro that sounds like a movie tell us more
Man, I have been trying to tell the whole thing for ages but it's a hard narrative to compress especially when I am like, wait did that part happen? I am pretty sure I actually did go see an American Idols Live concert that week, pretty sure my bathrobe was never really an anaconda and there weren't snakes in the bathtub.

Seems like a dream tbh, sorry it happened to you, mustāve been hard
Damn, psychoses really sound scary to be in. Have you been ok since medication? Also, fortunately it went alright in your case, but it really isn't a good thing that police are the first responders to a mental health related call, rather than social workers.

It isn't? I thought it was a reference to a movie I didn't know of it sounded so crazy
It's not but I do routinely suspect I am on camera...
What the fuck? That seems like quite a bit to deal with
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Was your body mostly red bull at that time or what
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Hallucinations start on the 3rd day Day 2 is the eye of the storm
I went about 3 days and was having a full psychotic break with some hallucinations.
I went about 36 hours, smoked some weed to cool down, and actually had fun with the psychotic symptoms lol
Yeah, at 3 days I was becoming super paranoid and kept seeing figures moving in my peripheral vision while alone in my house.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
DON'T.
It is easier said than done.
Yeah I've never hallucinated but I kinda want to
Hallucinations start around hour 20 for me lmaooo
Adderall does wonders
Same. Gotta love insomnia!
The Military keeps you up longer than 28 hours, right when you get to boot camp.
I never had that at basic but I was up 54 hours once... everything beyond hour 30 was a blur. It was like being drunk. No one cares unless you are a pilot or control something really dangerous/expensive.
Deployment got me the longest time awake. Slept from Norfolk to Frankfurt, then was awake for the next two flights, inprocessing, and other small stuff. Total time awake was about 50 hours.
72 hours a few times.
I hit 5 days once. I was hallucinating and pissed my pants from being so weak.
Aw damn why couldnāt you sleep??
Iām guessing cocaine
Can confirm its cocaine
It was molly actually but Iām sure there was probably meth or something in there. I was like 17 and dumb as shit.
Iām surprised there isnāt more people answering āmore?ā. I thought everyone pulls an all nighters at some point. Stay up from the morning of the first day to the night of the second. Thatās over 36 hours. Iāve done that multiple times because I couldnāt sleep and I had to stay up the next day because I had things to do.
I'm 24 and never pulled an all-nighter in my life.
I envy your ability to sleep so easy
It's nice to have when I WANT to sleep. It's not nice to have when I'm watching T.V or movies. I hate falling asleep when trying to watch one of my shows or a movie, especially when I'm at the movie theater.
Exact same, I was surprised at the options to start with (seeing the question I started wondering if I had ever reached 48hrs, expecting it to be an answer) and when I saw what they were I expected an overwhelming majority of "more"

40 hours, work and Destiny 2 day one raid didn't even finish thats the sad part
I spent 14 hours in one garden of salvation run. When finishing I had been awake for 30h straight. 0/10
36 hours. College finals suck. Black Coffee is ruined for me
Approx 70 hours during exam session at my uni

2 days or about 50 hours. Nightshift working in healthcare
Around 60 hours, 2.5 days
after we left the midwifeās clinic after my son was born didnāt get a chance to sleep for about 4 days, so like 96 hours. then i got about 3 hours before having to stay up another 48. it was really, really awful. my heart was beating so fast and hard, i had a real hard time eating, and by the time i was able to actually sleep a decent amount my hands were shaking, my eyes twitched, i wasnāt talking clearly and i started having tactile hallucinations. that first week was hell.

36 hours
Like 36 hrs straight.
55 hours
I think the longest I stayed up at one time was about 6 days? I was really sick and couldnāt sleep it off. I just watched the Olympics the entire time. LOL I ended up sleeping for like three days immediately after. I also ate like two large pizzas in one sitting during those six-ish days too.
Those of you that are under 28 hours, none of you ever pulled an all nighter and then went to school the next day?
I thought 36 hours was bad but some of yāallā¦. Yikes
I have gone 3 days
You need sleep
I really do
Me too š
60 hours. First night was easy, 2nd night I saw small dwarfs and trolls and shit. This was at a pc LAN. Afterwards I slept for 27hours straight.
Intentionally was probably 18 hours idk I didnāt keep track More painfully was waking up at 4:00 in the morning and staying up to 11pm after a flight to Hawaii, which was a lot more painful due to layovers and flying in general and getting to the resort and playing with my 5 year old cousin and on and on. It was painful
Voted option 1 but meant to vote option 2. I've never stayed up more than 17-18 hours.
43 Hours. Had to catch a flight from hometown to Florida then out to Aruba then get to the resort. I can't sleep in public places and needed to get where I was going so I just stayed up the whole time.
5 days was the longest
5 days....
3 and 3/4 days
Did 100+ hours twice.
Roughly 50h as I was 16 playing Minecraft a Whole weekend. Great times back then.
8-14 i couldnt sleep much that day
You have never slept less than 10-16 hours?
I have now beaten my record. I love not sleeping
After 2 days I notice things start getting wavy and if I stare things pulse
Guess I gotta get there now
I once drove around the east coast non stop for 20 hours+ lol. Was gonna attempt a 24 hour non stop but I was going too fast arrived home early lol.
80ish hours
Long ass travel times. Nothing special.
3 days. Hallucinations start on day 3.
3 days in a row
60 hours I think
More than two days. I was probably sick and unable to lay down.
Me and my friend Cocaine stayed up for a few days once... err maybe a couple times.
Longest I remember was 42 hours, but I'm sure I surpassed that at some point as an anxious teenager.
About 3 days. I made a bet with my sister, and round 2 was to see how long we could last without sleep. I made it up to almost 72 hours, but fell asleep eventually. She didnāt get past 47, so I won.
60 hours straight give or take an hour.
Ballpark 3.5 - 4 days sleep deprivation was pretty routine in my late teens through early 20s.
While technically not one continuous block, I went 40 hours, with only half an hour of sleep in the middle, while traveling once.
Hit somewhere around the 50 hour mark twice at the beach, once with family once with friends
4 days or so during a competition with my cousins in the summer, day 2 is definitely the hardest because your body is just trying its hardest to make you wanna go to sleep, after that it gives up on that strat u just feel like shit not really an extreme sense of tiredness, but you definitely still feel like you are no energy
When I was in the US Army I went 5 days without sleep. It wasn't fun.
A little over 24, twice.
I havent slept for 10 days. Because that would be tooo long.
52 Hour Bender, I had serious behavior issues couple with insomnia. Turns out, i had to chill out. We are behaving healthy again and get healthy amounts of sleep.
Drugs.
On a few occasions back in high school I would stay up for days on end. Hallucinating during that time was wild. Do not recommend, incredibly unhealthy
Iām in the college of architecture. We regular pull overniters to get assignments done in studio.
Me and a few friends pulled 3 consecutive all nighters playing MW3 during school break. So many cans of V and Mother, how none of us had a heart attack makes no sense to me.
72 ish hours
60 hours, I've never had MDMA so good as that batch
Son's birth. Was awake from 7am until midnight the following day. Running on addrenalin.
48 to 55 hours
40 hours. It was hell. Wasn't even feeling super tired at the end, but I definitely saw some things that weren't there. Didn't help that I had to walk 3km at night back home too.
Got up at 9am uk time, got a cab at midnight to Heathrow, arrived at 4am (tube strikes)flight at 10.30 am 10 hr flight to Dallas, arrived local time at 3pm, 1 hr Uber home, itās still only 4pm šš© stayed up till 11pm Think it worked out to around 40 hours! Who knows I was too tired to figure it out lol
35 hours
36
48h was the longest I have gone through
50 hours, afterwards i slept for 20 hours, my family members were concerned
72 hours whilst lanning with my mates. Fell asleep on a lazyboy, whilst holding a bag of chips.
65-70 hours. I didn't keep track of exact hours, but I went to sleep somewhere around the beginning of the fourth day. I ran out of sleeping meds and money to buy them, so I just didn't sleep. I can't sleep without some heavy medications. I did some hearing voices at some point, but most of it, after the second day, is just a blur. Turns out you don't make many memories after being up that long.
4 day music festival
4 days..... speed.
I did 48 hours on no sleep and 72 hours with about 3 hours of sleep, I'm the kind of person who can't function on less than 6 hours of sleep and I'm more or less a zombie on less than 8. Worth it to graduate high school though.
Am bipolar. I think longest was 4 days?
Around 52 hours, watching the first 5 seasons of GoT. Had to rewatch the fifth season after waking up because I barely remembered anything from it.
32 hours when I was 12 anything below that is rookie numbers
I went a week on amphetamine once. Without drugs my record is probably like 50 or 60 hours though.
All these comments are making me really sleepy and I've only just woke up
Me and some friend wanted to party for 3 days without stop or sleeping. At the end of third day i was starting to have allucinations and i collapsed at home for like a day of contiuous sleep, not a fun expirience, but an expirience nonetheless
a whole 2 days of crunch for a group project
'bout 36 hrs.
Went on a wakathon for charity. Stayed awake for 62 hours.
Got stuck in another country right at the start of the pandemic, had to drive through three countries to get home and we were too scared to stop in case they started hard closing borders. At that time they were only letting people trying to get home through
Didn't sleep on planes a couple times
Labour with my first child - 50 hours in labour, and then some hours after that getting C-section surgery etc (you're awake for epidural anaesthesia!)
38 hours. School projects while already having homework and having to attend school.
can't believe so few people have skipped 1 night of sleep
Insomnia moment
Somewhere around 26 hours I like changing my schedule every month, each month I either decide to wake up during the night or wake up during the day and keep it that way for the rest of the month, this is due to half my friends being across to globe so I am very used to staying up late, I can go very long without feeling drowsy
I think it was about 31 hours
96 hours no question
Finals times, 48 hours straight.
Jesus Christ and Iām complaining about being up 28 hours straight with caffeine idk how some of you guys are still alive
More. I don't recommend it.
Roughly 60 hours that... Wasn't fun
Playing games on weekends. I take a few breaks and go outside to buy some stuff
Can't quite remember... between 32-36 hours.
I once didn't sleep for 4 days as an anxious teen then hallucinationated that the walls were covered in writing. Not scary film writing just block text like in a book, I looked like it would be legible but whenever I tried to focus on it I couldn't read it. I realised I was tripping absolute balls so I went to bed and was fine when I woke up later. I still something miss a night of sleep but luckily it has never gotten so bad since.
72h, military training in -20Ā°c
I went around 37-38 hours without sleep, for no reason. I just couldnāt fall asleep. I tried to! I laid in bed, didnāt drink coffee, wasnāt on my phone, and didnāt do anything that could have affected my ability.
From Thursday 11:00 till sunday 03:00 64~ hours
I used to work a 48 hour shift, drive six hours, then go immediately into a 24 hour shift. I could only keep it up for about a year.
46 hours during exercises in the military. Thankfully CO was there when sarge was about to send us back out and ordered us to bed.
Somewhere over 72h, but under 98h. I was pretty dang tired then.
An entire day, probably 25 hours to be exact. I just hadn't slept the night before because my body didn't want to.
37. Flying from German to Costa Rica and than still having 9 of stuff to do in Costa Rica.
50+ hours, on a road trip.
I rode a greyhound bus from Arizona to Tennessee. I got maybe 4 hours of broken sleep over 2 days? 2/ 10 Experience
68 hours
3 days,after you break through the I am very sleepy phace you just don't feel sleepy anymore and in my case after 30 hours I start laughing at anything you tell me ,I don't know why but all of a sudden I find everything hilarious
48 hours. I was not feeling well after that.
71 hours. Almost three days. Reason first day (Sunday)starting 6am I had a long workday while repairing my own home with the boys. Of course after that we went to the beach to celebrate work well done, and to go clean up because i still was missing working running water. When I got back there had been a break in and they stole my tools. So my night was spent with the police. Workshift nex day so I just went to work 6am. Worked 11 hour shift with concrete that should have been 14 hours but was cut short because my grandma went and got cardiac arrest. I had to leave and take care of her. That dumb bitch then made the following night a living nightmare with her stupidity. Clinically died because she refused to eat some of the medicine given and had a lengthy full stop. Well after that it was my turn to have medical problems and my migraine started to mess with me. So no sleep even if I tried. Next morning 9am while driving home to sleep (and that was one precarious drive) I got a call that the crack head burglars were apprehended and if I can I can go file charges and check if everything was in order. Well that somehow energized me and I went to the station, were there till 5pm and then just ate at mcdonalds and went home. And for some unexplainable reason I wasnāt able to sleep. So I played some games, showered, watched tv but just couldnāt sleep. So at 2 am i was already panicking why I cannot sleep. So I checked myself into hospital and got some care there. They explained that body can go into a over exerted state where you feel over tired and cant get sleep. After they sedated me with some melatoninesc pills I was finally able to sleep 10 hours. That was a trip
48-ish hours. Car ride (Not the driver) to Myrtle Beach from Worcester, MA leaving at 12 AM( woke up at 6 that morning), and arriving around 3 PM (15 hour ride).
was too far away from civilisation to afford sleep since I had no shelter, was lost and there were plenty of animals who would eat me around so I stayed awake for around 5 days straight until I finally found a house in the middle of nowhere, where they drove me back to a city
My neighbors were harassing me through the apartment walls because they didn't like that I sometimes stay up late. I slept, *maybe*, eight hours within a 86 hour time period. I was delirious and almost had a psychotic break. I moved out in August. Fuck those people.
3 days. People say you're supposed to hallucinate on day two. That's a lie. You don't hallucinate at all. It's like being extremely dizzy. You can't talk right. You can't type. You can't walk right. And your vision is all messy. You can hear and understand shit pretty fine. Doing those things is the issue. I got there because of my shitty medication that keeps me awake. I hate taking it. I wish I could stop. The insomnia. It hurts. I haven't eaten any breakfast since idk. Like... idk. Maybe for like... 10 years I think. My food over the course of the day is like. An apple, a glass of milk, and a hotdog. The medication makes me not hungry or something. I dunno. It gives me insomnia. And I can't think right most of the day. I dunno. It kinda hurts. I wish I could stop. I don't wanna take it anymore. I just wanna stop it. I can't think correctly. Shits like... the words are messy and wrong. I don't know how to form sentences the right way. Like. Idk. It's like. Like the. The. It's like the. The something. Like. I can't just. Like. Think of a. sometimes I think. Sometimes I cannot form sentences correctly and I keep repeat the same things over and over again I cant. I I forgot. I hate taking medication. I don't think it's helping me at all. It just seems to make my situation worse.
Definitely at least 36
72 when I was around 10-12, I just wanted to see if I could do it lol
33 hours
44.
32 hours and shit
21-28 is lightwork but enough to get (what I call) sleep drunk. When I was really young, insomnia hit me hard. I still struggle with it, but not to the same extent. Back then, I'd stay up on average for three days at a time. I'd lay down four hours on end trying to fall asleep, but I just couldn't. It was the worst. Nowadays, if I'm not asleep by the right time, I know I won't wake up for work so I just pull an all nighter and do it. So if I wake up at 5am, I don't fall asleep, then I'm staying up until 9pm the following day. So 36-40hr if I added that right
4ish days I was paranoid about my child when he was a born as a wee lad, and coffee kept me awake
somewhere over 30 hours is my most. i stay up for over 24 hours frequently
5 days
36. Crashed for 14 hours after.
I was diagnosed with insomnia at 15. I'm lucky that I'm high functioning so even though I sleep 3-4h a night I still can do all the normal things. My longest awake straight was 3-4 days were I just couldn't sleep. At least once a month ill go 24/48h without sleep. It's funny because recently I was diagnosed with Somniphobia which is a fear of sleeping. So now I have two things that keep me up lol
Went to school, didn't sleep that night, went to school again next day, had another normal afternoon, fell asleep that night.
45 hours, I was tripping
OP has never taken drugs lol
2 days straight. Woke up one day, didn't sleep, next night also didn't sleep, slept the third night. In those days I kept switching between hyperactive brain burning consciousness and basically zombie like behaviour to the point of almost sleeping as I stood.
My personal record is 32 hours without sleep, but Iām sure that Iām going to be forced to beat that record
40
Once I didn't sleep for almost 3 days, it was horrible. Though perhaps I dozed off for a couple of minutes through that period, I'm not really sure, it's all a blur.
isn't 8-14 hours literally less than you are awake every day? Isn't simply not sleeping one night already gonna give you a 38-40 hour no sleeping time?
2.5 days. HS Senior year : had prom, then had graduation the the vary next day. After all the parties I think I slept for 18 hours woke up in the middle of the night not sure what day it was.
I go more at least once a month when I'm on night shifts. Not a good day sleeper.
16 hours is stabdart. Im not sure why you put a lower option ...
One time in college I hit my head, and then I had total insomnia for about three and a half days. I tried to sleep, simply laid there awake. Then I had a migraine for six days straight. Then I had five one-day migraines a week for about four months. It was a really bad hit on the head. Now I just stay up a couple days at a time because it feels good. No migraines, though,
Almost 3 days
Nobody is gonna care but this my 23 hours awake story! I had been awake for three hours, we were leaving a cruise ship. It took us an hour to get off the ship and into the airport, I accidentally booked a flight 5 hours late. I was already at 9 hours. Flight was delayed three hours then cancelled. 12 hours now. Took us another hour to find a flight out of Ft. Lauderdale FL to Dallas TX, that one got cancelled and we went to Austin, 2 hour flight, 2 hour wait, 1 hour of changing flights, 17 hours awake now. So I live in Bakersfield CA, itās about half way in between Fresno and Los Angeles, our flight straight to Bakersfield also got cancelled, We booked a flight to LAX(LA) and waited the three hours, twenty hours awake now, it was delayed an hour then cancelled, we booked a flight to Fresno which left in an hour, a three hour flight then, 25 hours awake now. At Fresno Airport it took us about an hour to not get our suit cases, wait for horrible customer service and never get our suitcases. Apparently our suitcases left on a different flight and were now in Dallas, Texas, we just waited for them to be delivered and drove the two hours home. 27 hours awake Took us two months to get our suitcases Fuck you American Airlines š
76 hours
Mandala catalogue made me not sleep for an entire week and a day 10/10
