Longest without sleep

[Meat Puppet]

Quit stealing my life, Seeby.

[WildRaubtier]

Quiet, you.

I remember thinking one night, about how you can nod off for 15 minutes and have some huge drawn out dream. And other times, when you're so tired your eyes close on their own. And you go to blink, and then suddenly it's 3 hours later and you weren't even aware you'd fallen asleep. I started to get this feeling that time works differently in sleep. Like you're in suspended animation. Unfortunately after a bit of thinking I was suddenly an unwilling insomniac. For a while I actually thought I'd lost the ability to sleep. A month? I'm not sure that's possible. Even if it were, I'm sure it's highly unhealthy. I went about a week after that night, maybe a little longer. Though I tried desperately for sleep it just wouldn't come. Laying in bed every night just... thinking, hour after hour. It really sucked. Now I make sure to have Nyquil or something on hand to knock me out.

I need at least 5-6 hopurs of sleep or else I'm useless. I mean, I think I've pulled over 30 hours because of a massive project, but I've never really benefitted from not sleeping so I sleep when I should.

somewhere around 60 hours, wouldnt have been that big of a deal, had it not been during football two-a-day practices...i practically passed out when i finally did sleep

I once stayed awake for a WHOLE month. I'm pretty sure I brought a cat, killed it, ate every single part of it, then brought a dog, watched my entire anime collection in one sitting, made a perfect save for every Final Fantasy 1-11, ate the dog, brought a zoo, and became a drug lord. For some reason, I woke up in the middle of the desert dressed up as the easter bunny.

Boy, I probably don't want to know what else I did.

You win.

I'm restless, I only get about 5-15 minits sleep every night, and while I'm awake I'm (almost) always standing or walking or running! I only sit down if I have to! I'm not sure of my longest period without sleep, but I can tell you my longest sleep lasted around 6 munths in 1998 from June 24th til December 8th! I was in a coma after a road accident!

I'm not sure exactly how long was my longest time without sleep, but I'm guessing around 30-40 hours. Not much, I know, but I did start hallucinating by the end. I didn't see anything, but I kept hearing short bursts of laughter and then someone would say my name behind me. Always in a different voice, and always in a voice I knew but hadn't heard in a long time. I probably started looking paranoid and jumpy at least. That was about 8 years ago, and I've never gone that long without sleep since. So, even a short amount of time can screw you up a bit.

damn, you people are making me want to be insomniatic again. so be it. today or tomorrow i stop sleeping to see how long i can go. i wonder if i still have those caffiene pills...

[Mercen-X]

I've never survived longer than 36 hours.

[HybridFan]

Over 24 friggin hours during Army NG drill, it was fun though! Went bowling saturday night from 8pm to 1:30am with a couple of army buddies. A couple of people were drunk it was hilarious. Then stood up tell 3am watching power rangers in the armory, and playing halo on xbox. Couldnt sleep because I drank to much mt dew, and the next morning sucked ass, because I didnt get much sleep and did physical [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img], muscles were all sore. When I got home I basically slepted for 15 hours...
