What's the longest you've been asleep/awake?

What's the longest time you ever spent awake? What did you do all day and why did you stay awake? I think the longest I've been awake is 32 hours. I have a bad habit of staying up an hour or two later each night until I end up going to bed at 7AM on average. This of course interferes with everyday life, and since its easier for me to stay awake than force myself to sleep, I'll stay up all day. I don't like taking sleeping pills, they don't help me at all. I do this maybe two to three times a year, and only on days I have nothing to do. Last thing I need is to pass out at work.

The longest I've been asleep is 12 hours. I get about 6 hours sleep a night. Eventually that catches up to me and on days I have nothing to do, like weekends I sleep in extra late.

Something like 28 hours. I was on a flight to Asia for the first time in years, and I didn't really sleep since I was eager to see my home country again. When I arrived, I think I only took a short nap before going out to explore the city.

The longest I've slept was 14 hours straight. I had jet lag when I came back to the U.S. from a flight, and was just exhausted in general.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

We had to get up around 7:30 the morning of my high school graduation for practice and the rest of the day was really busy, so I didn't get to nap before graduation or grad night, so I stayed up until 9:30 the next morning. It's only 26 hours, but that's a long time for me.

The longest I've slept was something like 16 hours. I hadn't been sleeping well for a few weeks and I finally crashed.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

38 hours driving from Oklahoma to California for E3. It was Hell on Earth.

I think once I stayed up for nearly 40 hours. It was a bet between me and my friends as to how long we could stay up. And sure enough we stayed up the whole night playing games and whatnot and spent most of the next day out and about trying to stay awake. And finally later that day we all unanimously agreed to call off the bet for the benefit of the group.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Not really sure... I've slept for a REALLY long time before, however, just to see how long I could make myself sleep. I was really comfortable since I was sleeping between two super soft, warm comforters on a really cold day. The sort of day where you feel like you could just stay warm and cozy in bed forever. I think I might have managed at least more than 18~20 hours on and off without getting out of bed. (Also had some delicious fresh water nearby, yum)

As far as staying awake... Countain 1~2 hour naps here and there I've stayed up for days on end without considerable sleep. As far as going as long as possible with no sleep at all I've never deliberately tried it, but I'm gonna guess I've gone without sleep for at least 24 solid hours from time to time after putting off work.

How ya doing, buddy?

The longest time that I have ever been asleep has got to be like almost 36 hours when I was 16 years old.

What had happened is that when I was 16 years old I worked my first summer job. It consisted of working in a minus 40 below refrigerated freezer to a minus 20 below factory freezer trawler at a fish plant in my local community.

I had started work on a saturday morning at 9:00 am and finished work at 7:00 pm that evening. I had eventually went home and took a shower and grabbed something to eat when I got a phone call saying if I wanted to work another ten hour shift from 9:00 pm to 7:00 am sunday morning. So of course I wanted to. The job actually paid fairly well, 20.00/hour and after 12:00 in the night, it went up to $30.00/hour and for a 16 year old summer student that was incredibly good money because they couldn't get anybody to give up their weekend to work especially during the summer.

I managed to survive that night at work, because at the end of it, I was getting pretty tired. I literally had been up for almost 24 hours straight, and worked 20 of those hours in freezing conditions. I had gotten home around 8:00 am and took a quick hot shower and went straight to bed. I had woken up and looked out the window and seen it was night out. I looked at my clock and it said 9:00 pm, so I assumed it was 9:00 pm sunday, but when I went down to the kitchen my parents said it was about time I woke up, because they thought I would never wake up. They told me it was actually monday night. I slept right through sunday and most of monday.

I have no idea what might of caused me to sleep that long, it must of been a mixture of being overtired and being in that -40 freezer for almost 20 hours that literally caused my body to slowly shut down and I'm guessing the hot shower after I finished work never really helped things.

In terms of the longest time I've been awake, it has got to be about 26 hours straight when I stayed with my sister when I was 17, the majority of those hours spent playing Super Marion RPG, I had it for a two day rental and desperately tried to finish it before I had to bring it back.

FELIPE NO

Longest time without sleeping was something close to 72 hours. Well, it was 2 nights in a row and part of the 3rd day so less than that actually. I've stayed awake for around 30 hours countless times though, and I'm quite sure my recovering sleep time have approached 20 hours several times.

Sorry for the lack of exact numbers, but I wasnt exactly taking notes back when I had that lifestyle. ^_^;

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Funny how this topic turns up now...
A few days ago I was awake for 42 hours straight. I got 7 hours sleep after, and then the next day I was awake for 30+ hours, followed by 8 hours sleep, then 20+ hours awake, and finally ending with 6 hours sleep last afternoon. I'm still wide awake now and likely to be for some time now. Been eating a shit load of food - mostly fast food and junk - to keep me awake, and yep, I'm not dead or anywhere near close - I think.
Just an experiment, but I should hopefully be back to normal next week. The things I'm willing to do, eh?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

longest awake is around 30 hours, I can't stand any longer than that, sleeping is one of the few things I always enjoy in life

There's nowhere I can't reach.

A week and two days, during summer vacation a while back. Good god, after around the third day everything was nothing more than a blur. After that I wound up imitating a corpse for almost the same amount of time just to catch up on some sleep.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Mine was an all-nighter I pulled about a month ago at a friend's party. I must've been awake for 30 hours on about 6 hours worth of sleep. I realised just how tired I was when I tried to walk into town after getting changed and fell flat on my face, absolutely cartoon-esque.

I couldn't say I've ever slept for very long at all. I've stayed in bed for more than 12 hours I'm sure, but I tend to sleep somewhere between 4-8 hours and then wake up without fail.

The longest I stayed awake was during final exams two years ago. I had the most ungodly schedule ever, with exams one day from 8-10pm, then the next day at 8-10am and 8-10 pm. I woke up at the normal time the first day, and studied between each exam. When I finally went to bed after the third, I had been awake for about 44 hours.

That following night, I fell asleep, and woke up a little over 18 hours later. And that's the longest I've ever slept in one shot.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Probably 36 hours, give or take. I spent 36 hours awake when I was first introduced to Final Fantasy VI. How my SNES still works so well is beyond me.

I think the longest I've ever slept is 13 to 14 hours. I don't think its possible for me to sleep more than that. Nowadays I can hardly sleep 10, at most.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Last christmas, my sisters woke me up at 7:00 AM, as per usual, and christmas celebrations ensued. I had to open the store on boxing day, which required me to go in at 2:00 AM. Basically right after christmas at my grandparents i headed to work, and got off at 11:00 AM. I stayed up for a while afterwards cause i was on too much coffee to sleep really. I think i stayed up for about 36 hours that day.

Last christmas holidays i worked 5 AM till 1 PM every day for around 18 days straight (not including christmas and christmas eve). I also tried to maintain a small social life during that time which sorta worked. On the last day i worked before i going back to school i came home at around 2:30 and started to change out of my uniform. I lay down on my bed just intending to rest my body for a moment, but woke up at 7:00 AM the next morning. roughly 17 hours under my belt i was so energetic and refreshed for the next few days.

FELIPE NO

Usually when I pull an all-nighter (thankfully only about once a year at most) I don't get to sleep until late the next day, so I guess my usual rotation would be wake up at 7 AM, do work and junk and everything all day, stay up all night doing a project/lab, go to classes the next day, go home and do homework, and go to sleep around 1-3 AM depending on if it's a weekday the following morning. So I guess that puts me around 40-44 hours a couple of times.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I stayed awake for a sleepover with friends a few years ago for about 18 hours, finally crashing out at about 7AM (pulled an all-nighter).

As for being asleep, 12 hours is probably the longest. I'm sure I stayed sleeping for longer when I was younger, but I can't remember at this point in time.

I used to pull all nighters in college all the time. A typical one would be wake up at 8am for class, be up all day and night, go to class the next day, do what I have to after class, and pass out. One time I tried to pull off a double all nighter, but started actually getting physically sick from exhaustion. Made it from like 7am on day 1 to 2am on day 3. So that's like 43 hours or so? Im pretty sure I slept till 1pm that day too. (Thank god it was a weekend.)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The longest I've been asleep was about 14 hours. I was on an overnight trip from the Philippines to LA to Vegas and I was awake for about 26 or 27 hours for the duration of the trip. I could NOT sleep on the plane for anything! I had to be at work the very next day which kinda sucked but oh well.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I didn't exactly keep tabs on it, but I've stayed up at least three days in a row when I was younger. I've always had a lot of trouble sleeping, so I stayed up for long periods of time. I've slept a day and a half, but it could have been longer. >.>;

Longest I have been awake is 38 hours on my trip to Europe. First time ever on a plane, and leaving the country for the first trip (With exception of US). I was so excited, I couldn't even sleep when everyone else on the plane did. It was in March of 2001 in Grade 11.

Longest I have slept is just over 14 hours after returning to school last Fall. My first year with the Park Board wore me out. Actually, I slept for almost 14 hours everyday for about a week.

How ya doing, buddy?

I remember during Spring Break about 2 years ago I stayed up for about 50 hours. I think it was the day after I fell asleep in which I spent 16 hours sleeping. The reason for it was because of Ragnarok Online (when I was addicted to it, lawls). Doesn't help it was a private server with my friends.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'm sure every time I'm horribly ill, I sleep for days on end. Can't remember the last time but I would sleep for 30+ hours straight, until I wake up with nasty hair and crusty face.

During high school I had this really awful week where I didn't sleep for 2 days or so. Stayed up all night to work on projects, turned it in, went home and worked on another project. I think I nearly had a mental breakdown then, I would be working in the dark and hallucinate.

FELIPE NO

Something like 40 hours. I woke up fairly early, went to work all day, hung out at home for a while, drove out to meet a girl around midnight, brought her back to my house until about 6 AM, drove her home, drove back to work to see what time I was supposed to work that day. I arrived in front of the schedule board at 6:44, and discovered that instead of working at 2 PM like I had thought, I was working at 7. So I rushed home, changed, brushed teeth, rushed back, worked for 9 hours, came home, and stayed up half the night again.

I drank a lot of caffeine that day.

How ya doing, buddy?
