The longest I've slept was around 22 hours one summer. I turn nocturnal when I'm home for the summer, so it was in a series of transitional slumbers the week before school started again.

I'm used to sleeping from 8 to 10 hours a night, but since I've started college about a month ago, I've only been able to manage 6-7 hours a night. It's been very unsettling.

I can go for a mere 12 hours, and that's when I've been really tired from staying up late the night before last and waking up early the previous day. I always make myself get up if I'm nearing 12 hours since sleeping too much tends not to give me a headache, but has that paralyzing effect of making your body so sluggish that even getting up is a chore. If I were to stay in bed any longer, it would become progressively harder to try and get up.

This is one of those threads that nobody ever directly replies to anything save for the first post. How strange.

Once, on a regular basis my younger brother was going to bed around midnight and waking up at 3:30-4pm the next day. I'm guessing he was on a growth spurt or something.

To be completely honest, you throw me into a comfy bed and I can sleep for days. Seriously.

I miss the days of my youth. I used to be able to go days without sleep, and then only zone out for a couple hours before returning to a coherent state of consciousness for more gaming. Now, I sleep far too much - longest was only ever like, 18 hours though.

The real question is, how long can everyone go without sleep?

2 days here.

The longest I've slepped was about 15 hours I think. I hadn't slept too well the few prior nights so sleeping so well came as a realy shock for me. Lucky it wasn't a school day...

On average, I sleep about 8-9 hours, however I'd love to get more. In the holidays I get about 11 hours a day.
