What's the longest you've been awake?

What is your longest amount of hours spent awake? Mine is maybe 72 to 78 hours. Years ago I was working the night shift at a Securities job, and I was forced to do a double shift, i.e the guy who was supposed to relieve me and take over never showed up. I was up all night that previous night.

 

Mine was 48 hours, it was after travelling to NY from Oz ( I never can sleep on flights) ~ but I was a mess I must say....... I don't know how you did it Mr Shao.

 

Three days. I don't sleep enough, I consume too much caffeine. Pro Plus is my friend .

 

40 something hours. Just for the hell of it. When I was younger (early teen) I was like "Fuck sleep, who needs it?" I got places to go and people to see! And I thought it felt kind of cool to be extremely tired. It was like being under the influence of a narcotic, but without being so.

 

I never can get to sleep anymore. Never.

 

Masturbate. LoL, seriously, I read that it helps.

 

About 60 hours, when travelling. It was horrible, haha.

Then I would be masturbating too much. That doesn't work.

 

Gosh, you're so difficult! You can google and find ways to get to sleep. There's all kinds of ways/things you can do. :smile:

 

i dont know exactly id say around 1 and a half day

 

I don't take pills. i don't. Pills are a big no no for me. I sleep off headaches, when I can actually sleep. I don't even take Tylenol. I counted sheep once and made it all the way to 233. I might as well check Google since I've tried everything else. Maybe I should cut back on sweets....

 

Yea, cutting back on sweets and caffeine should do it, and to be sure you're active during the times you're awake so when it's time to sleep you'll be tired. Also, don't do anything in your bedroom but sleep (no TV etc) so you associate your bed/bedroom with sleeping only. If you don't like pills, there are natural sedatives (like teas) that could help you sleep better too. Just research and I know you will find something that will work for you.

 

3 or 4 days is the longest and was after having my wee girl,was so stresed and worried about her i was spending all my time by her incubator, ended up being drugged by the nurses on the ward after being found wondering about confused

mug of warm milk or camomile tea are meant to help

 

233 ?? man thats impressive

 

I think it was 3 days but my problem is i dont sleep enough every day, a normal hours of sleep for me is 4 hours the most every night, or day lol
but most times i dont get more then 2 hour sleep ..i had people telling me go early to sleep, i went few times at 11pm and i was up at 3am lol

 

30 hours.

Never again.

 

Lol, Pro Plus used to be a handbag must have for me too, 3 days is the longest for me also, although when i have done that, i do truly feel awful, ie feeling pins and needles all down my body.
I remember a terrible time when i had not slept for 2 days and was at work, i downed 4 cans of Red Bull and a handful of pro plus, then i tried to eat a chesse pastie, horrible, horrible. :smt078

 

I worked a lot of jobs during the 3rd shift. i worked nights for almost 4 years, and Red Bull has become my best friend and worst enemy. That drink has mny sleep cycles all out of whack.

 

I've never really thought of that. I spend most of time in my room vvhen I'm at home, besides vvhen I cook etc.
