what’s the longest you went without sleep?

[katamari_22@lemmy.ml]

With 30 mins naps included, probably 72 hrs during filming a short film.

But if youre asking for a straight awake, it is around 26-27 hours. It was also during that time. The first day of filming until I got my first nap.

I had insomnia for many years. I slept 30-60 mins a night then crash for five or six hours once a week. It was horrible. I’d rather take these mind altering drugs than go back to that

3 days and 2 nights in the military.

In the 3rd day I was semi-awake and seeing shit. i.e. familiar home town sceneries behind distant trees, although I was nowhere near.

What did it say?

[twanhe@lemmy.world]

About 72h going from a scouts camp into a festival. first 2 days included a lot of coffee, last day might have had a little coke sprinkled in.

Gotta love those FTX. I got to the point where I crawled under a humvee for a nap.

[rustyfish@lemmy.world]

Roughly 37 hours. I went from a party to shopping with friends to a wedding. It was wild and it shows the power of alcohol and drugs ️

Probably wouldn’t survive it today, tho.

3 days during last summer. It was before I got my summer job and after school ended.

It wasn't for any particular reason I just didn't wanna go to sleep and just stayed on my phone ‍️

I think it was about 28h when my first child way born.

Usual day, up at 6am, normal day. Then wife stated around 10pm 'alright, we need to go to the hospital'. Few hours later at around 6am child was born. The aftermath and heading home took a few hours as well and finally got some rest at 10am.

The funny thing is I did not sleep that much then. I think about 4 hours and was good to go.

Oh yeah, and my wife was probably also happy to get some rest lol.

[davidgro@lemmy.world]

Exactly.

It was about 6 days. It was during college and I was at the peak of a manic episode fueled by alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine. I worked nights on the weekends and went from the beginning of my Sunday night shift through my Friday night shift. I went to my classes during the day, hopped from one party to the next at night until everyone else passed out, then just drove through all of the back country roads we have while everyone else was asleep. In the first couple of days I had auditory hallucinations and 3-4 days in there were shadow people. By the end of the week it was hard to tell if I was awake or dreaming. Surprisingly when I finally slept it was only for like 13 hours and I made it back in for my Saturday night shift.

It was moderated Something illegal about drugs. I do get it when talking about synthetic drugs, but natures gift shouldn't be treated the same !

I’d be in a similar boat cramming in a project in college that I realized 72 hours before due date that I needed to do all the research. I thought my time to present was the next month, but I wrote it down wrong. I wasn’t foolish enough to not power nap a few times in there so I still had some semblance of sanity to present.

[anonomouswolf@lemm.ee]

I was about 12 years old, I woke up Friday morning 6am for school.

After school my friend and I bought WWE 2007 on PlayStation 2.

We stayed up all weekend playing and only went to bed 8pm om Sunday.

So 62 hours.

[sam_bass@lemmy.ml]

28 hours after pulling a double shift at work then camping a rare spawn in everquest

[coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Similarly, 40ish hours for an mmo binge back in the day.
