Ahh, blood puke! Good song title, someone write that - oh, that's right, we already wrote that. Good song, though.

Re: How long have you gone w/o sleep? Tell me your stories.

I've gotten my sleep schedule pretty ****ed during the last month or two and now that I have a very weird set of courses to go to (most begin in the afternoon and a couple of them early in the morning) it's become standard for me to stay up 24+ hours almost once a week. I've also started taking naps again every once in a while since I'm not that good at handling sleep deprivation.

Re: How long have you gone w/o sleep? Tell me your stories.

I've stayed up many times past 24 hours doing assignments and stuff but the most was only about 40 hours. I don't understand why anyone would intentionally want to remain awake for longer than 2 days, I hated the feeling of how sluggish and out-of-body the experience was :s

Damn I was pretty level-headed back then

For about a year up until the time of this story I'd been addicted to amphetamines / speed and would only sleep 4 or 5 nights a week. I work weekdays and would often go to work, stay up all night gaming, go to work the next day, then crash hard and be nodding off at work the following day. Over time it got easier to do this and still function at work which was NOT a good thing because then things just escalated. Two days while working without sleep turned into three etc. The worst of it was this past May when I stayed up from a Thursday to Monday morning all while drinking, snorting speed, taking MDMA, and Xanax to come down. After the Thursday I had stopped eating and I planned to call in sick to work on Monday around 8am because I knew my body was saying enough is enough. I took my last Xanax and ended up passing out just before 8am. Throughout the day my boss called my cell phone which was sitting right next to my face on vibrate but I wasn't waking up. By the afternoon my boss got worried and called my mother who was my emergency contact. My parents knew about my drug problem and decided to check on me. I woke up at 3pm to my dad banging on my back door yelling my name with urgency in his voice. I stumbled out of bed still really groggy from the Xanax and opened the door. My dad and my sister were both there, my dad's eyes were full of fear and my sister was crying. They thought they were going to find me dead. My mom had been too afraid to go with them. I'm actually thankful this all happened because it made me realize how close to the brink I was. I've since been working my way back out of the woods.

tl;dr my new "PB" is 96 hours and I have no interest in topping that. Also don't do drugs to stay awake.

Oop a bumped thread
I believe for me it was about 42-43 hours about 2 weeks ago, my parents and I were driving from poland to uk and I was the navigator. Couldn't sleep as whenever we took a break I was too awake because all I drank throughout the journey were energy drinks and coffee. Fun times c:

Re: How long have you gone w/o sleep? Tell me your stories.

Jesus I don’t understand how you guys do more than 2 days, sounds dangerous as hell too.

Personally there have been a handful of occurrences of me staying awake for 36 hours, most of them were done when I had no school simply because I couldn’t sleep at all. Once it reaches 4AM and I still can’t fall asleep, I say «*fuck it*» and do one of those sessions. Most of them end up with me going to sleep at 2PM and waking up at 5PM.

It ain’t a good habit I know and I try to avoid that as much as possible nowadays

Re: How long have you gone w/o sleep? Tell me your stories.

Re: How long have you gone w/o sleep? Tell me your stories.

I've done about 40 hours during finals period I think 2-3 years ago. Basically early morning to late evening the day after. What made it hard was that most of that time (probably 50% of it at least) was spent studying because I hadn't studied during the semester. In the morning of the second day, I had to drive a whole 10 minutes to get to my bus stop, and I got my first ever (serious) traffic ticket because I apparently skipped a stop sign. The thing is I was so exhausted from the non-stop study that I didn't even know if I had actually stopped or not, so that was a bit scary. I then proceeded to pass my morning and afternoon exams just barely.

Re: How long have you gone w/o sleep? Tell me your stories.

Roughly.... 48 hours.... I was doing a few security gigs back in 2012ish I think and I got called in for a 12 hour shift. I worked that and I thought I had the day off so I decided to stay awake all day to readjust to the daytime life...Only to be called back into work for another 12 hour shift. I got off that shift and immediately died in my bed for like 10 hours

Tl;dr I worked two 12 hour shifts in a row on no sleep

Re: How long have you gone w/o sleep? Tell me your stories.

Longest I ever went without sleep was about 60 hours. I was only 12 years old at the time, and I paid for it with bad grades that week.

Ain't doing that again.

Re: How long have you gone w/o sleep? Tell me your stories.

It's nearly 48 hours for me.

I've participated in several camps when I was a cadet in one of the youth disciplinary groups over where I live. All of those camps were 2 days long, and most of them involved hiking for 2 whole days, while the rest were for either participating in activities our leaders held or us holding activities for younger cadets.

In none of those camps were I able to sleep, even if my body was screaming in pain and I was both mentally and physically exhausted from carrying out the activities. Luckily, after arriving back home, I could get some of the best sleep I would ever have in my life.
