For all you insomniacs: How long without sleeping?

[NYC Liberal]

I've gone 24-25 hours straight without sleeping. That's about all I could handle.

1. I'm not an insomniac, but once I stayed up for 35 hours straight. eom

2. The longest I've ever gone without sleep is 35 hours.

It was killer though, and I didn't get my sleep pattern straightened out for a few days after that.

9. Ugh I hear ya!

I'm still messed up on my sleep pattern..... lol!

P.S. It was last week I stayed up for that time LOL!:crazy:

3. I went over 70 hours a couple of years ago

Damn, it sucked.

4. Depends on your definition of sleep

I went years without real sleep in the service

5. Get some more exercise.

As far as my longest - 55 hours. And then I slept for about 20 hours waking up to piss, eat, and go back to sleep.

6. I have sleep apneia..this just sounds like bragging to me

I can fall asleep in a bowling alley, next to the pin rack. after a full night of non-rem sleep.

7. 64 hours is my record.

I used to do 36 hours pretty regularly in collge. I could have one cup of coffee at midnight and be good for another 18. Now it doesn't matter how much coffee I drink, 20 hours or so and I'm toast.

Anyway, when it came time for my senior exhibition I stayed up for 64 hours preparing.

I did take a 20 minute catnap in the middle, though, so I'm not sure that counts.

It was freaky, though; I had bizarre hallucinations that a clueless fratboy would be president in the early 21st century.....

8. 76 hours, finals week, two years ago.

Drank nothing but straight black coffee for those three days.

:scared:

Never again.

when my workload in grad school was really high...got to the point that on i would sleep through the whole weekend, only getting up for meals...

i did have CRAZY hallucinations, though!!
