longest you've gone without sleep

I went non-stop about 48 hours once without any sleep. I don't know what caused it. It was making me question if something had gone wrong with my health. It seemed tiring to be conscious for that long.

 

I think it was something like 36 hours for me.

 

just over a day. what does it feel like to be up for 48 hours straight? does the dillusional effect take place or do you have to go longer without sleep?

 

48 hours. And more than once: I live with chronic insomnia.

QP

 

Working the overnight shift finds me awake for over 24 hours once or twice a week. I have done up to 48.

 

3-1/2 days.

 

42 hours, also known as labour and childbirth

 

I think pretty close to 48 hours. I drank two nights in a row during that 48 hours too, i really have no idea how I didn't pass out cold.

did you do a natural birth? I wanted to but I had to be induced and it was way too painful so I took the epidural, and I somehow slept through almost my entire labor. I got the epidural at 3 cm, went to sleep and woke up and I was at 9 cm and it was almost time to start pushing

 

Yeah, natural water birth, no meds or pain relief.. it was nice but stressful and very tiring, there was a moment close before pushing where I decided i didnt want a baby anymore and someone else could do it because i couldnt carry on, a passing stage luckily! 36 hours of established labour in total, 1 hour pushing, 1 hour for the 'aftermath', then spent the next 6/7 hours too scared to sleep incase my tiny newborn needed me.

 

probably around 40 hours. basically a day, a night, and the next day. i've done that twice.

other than those two times, i don't think i've gone much more than 24 hours, and only that long a few times.

 

I've managed to stay awake and functioning for 72 hours a few times. Once was trying to switch my first puter from the netscape it came with to the widows sytem my server wanted me to run. Netscape wasn't going to give up the dialer! lol

 

Right around 46 hours.

 

We use to do over fifty hours at work quite often. I think 56 was the longest. Those were the days, nothing like trying to gaff a pissed off 200 lbs halibut when you're struggle to stand up yourself

 

4 days.

In 2006 I was in the ICU, in a medically induced coma. When they brought me back to consciousness and extubated me I was wide awake for 4 days, lying in a hospital bed unable to sleep, never even got drowsy.

 

Sixty four hours driving in a car that had to be compression started if I turned it off, from Bangor Maine to Phoenix Arizona.

 

87 hours. I had a huge insomnia problem.... haha

 

never more than three days, and even then only as a result of drug taking (festivals etc) normally, my body just demands to pass out every so often and i'm powerless to argue.

 

Probably not much more than 24 hours if that. I've never had any reason to stay up that long. I could definitely do it if I drank a Full Throttle at the very end of the night, that shit keeps me wide the fuck awake.

 

About 72 hours on many occasions working during holidays

 

It didn't feel too strange. I didn't have hallucinations. I've seen documentaries about people who do after being awake for a few days.

I wasn't on medications or in the hospital or on drugs. It seemed to happen out of nowhere and never happened again. Just felt unusual being awake for that long.
