For all you insomniacs: How long without sleeping? |
|
I've gone 24-25 hours straight without sleeping. That's about all I could handle.

2. The longest I've ever gone without sleep is 35 hours. |
|
It was killer though, and I didn't get my sleep pattern straightened out for a few days after that.

5. Get some more exercise. |
|
As far as my longest - 55 hours. And then I slept for about 20 hours waking up to piss, eat, and go back to sleep.

7. 64 hours is my record. |
|
I used to do 36 hours pretty regularly in collge. I could have one cup of coffee at midnight and be good for another 18. Now it doesn't matter how much coffee I drink, 20 hours or so and I'm toast.
Anyway, when it came time for my senior exhibition I stayed up for 64 hours preparing.
I did take a 20 minute catnap in the middle, though, so I'm not sure that counts.
It was freaky, though; I had bizarre hallucinations that a clueless fratboy would be president in the early 21st century.....
