Longest without sleep

[Erdrick Holmes]

What was the longest period of time you spent without sleep?

So far... this is the god honest truth... I've been awake right now for a whole week. I have the worst insomnia any human has ever had.

If you've honestly been awake that long, you'd have to have been trying. You can't stay awake that long without trying at least a bit. And either way, seek help, because it's really not healthy to do stuff like that.

Longest I've gone is probably just 48 hours or something. Maybe even less than that. I never saw the huge appeal in staying up for more than one night, and even with one night without sleep I'd probably go to bed early the next day or take some naps.

About a month ago, I had a bad case of insomnia and didn't sleep for eight and a half days.

If anyone is wondering why I don't believe you when you say "I went without sleep for a week or more", it's because it really is that difficult. The record for sleep deprivation is only around eleven days, after all, and the guy who did that was in an effectively non-functional state.

I was up for a week but I had "help". You start to hallucinate without the help though. It's really not good for you. By the end your like a zombie.

Yes, he became totally paranoid and delusional. He was certain there were people after him trying to kill him.
Sleep deprivation is not good for you, at all.
Even an hour snatched here and there is MUCH better than none at all.

I wouldn't doubt it. At a week I could barely make myself eat and it was like objects weren't solid. The edges of things were kinda wavy. After what I experienced I would never do it again. You feel so horrible and your brain feels like mush.

I dunno, probably not even a day.
