what's the longest time you went without sleeping

[m0rnutz]

Three. Towards the end I was hearing voices, becoming obsessively paranoid about every shadow, and had started sleeping with a knife in my hand just in case.

This was also during a period when I would sleepwalk to my mom's side of the bed in my parent's room and just stand there staring into space.

 

[Zaragoza]

2 days

 

[Tetra]

uh about 50/60 I guess
I started to lose it at that point so for my own sanity I found and slept in an uncomfortable place

 

[Captain Oblivious]

Four days give or take. I had a mild case of insomnia and spent my nights and days binge watching 80's and 90's sitcoms.

 

[Burgers in the ass]

Not sure how you cunts are able to stay awake for that long, longest I've probably ever gone without sleep for was probably 18 hours or something.

 

[Sure Thing Idiot]

I went a solid 4 days + a few hours without sleep once because I wanted to see how long I could go. If you can get past the threshold of wanting sleep you kind of become high all the time and slightly insane. I was drawing pictures and wrote a short story during the end of it that upon reading after, like after 20 hours of straight dead sleep, made zero sense and the drawings were acid trip sketches one was like a hand holding an eye and in the eye was an arm extending upward but the fingers were people and each one was lifting their own eye and a chessboard background pattern but like every white space had a random number that was three less than the fourth white space before it. Made perfect sense at the time like it was fucking genius to me in the moment. Craziness. I did it because I once heard 7 days without sleep can cause someone to act temporarily insane or be considered temporarily insane or something

 

[QT 219]

48 hours, backpacking/train-riding with a group across Europe from Hamburg to Paris with stops in Amsterdam and Brussels. Got separated in Amsterdam when all of us went to this party and got really fucking high. Started wandering the streets with a local and his girlfriend, getting continually wasted, losing track of time and moving onto the next venue. Fell asleep in a flat above a bakery on some chick's bed, woke up on some dudes boat in the middle of a lake. Best vacation ever.

 

[millais]

somewhere between 30-36 hours, the passage of time got a little fuzzy towards the end.

 

[drtoboggan]

Three days. Adderall was a factor.

 

[Dolphin Lundgren]

A day. Although at one point for a while I was staying up one day and going without my medication, then taking my medication the next day and going to sleep so every other day I was going without sleep. Until I had that panic attack, so I haven't done that every other day thing since.

 

[Idea Waifu]

only one day, more precise 26 hours, im just a newbie

 

[Carlos Thin]

30 to 48 hours and at that time I was pretty loopy so if you know the exact time I'll have to call bullshit.

This, I stayed awake for two days but can't remember much of the second day. I was coming down from drugs (acid and a small amount of MDMA) the first night and decided to keep myself up with caffeine to avoid breaking my sleeping pattern. Come the second night I thought I was tripping again. I was panicking that the drugs had fucked my motor function for sleep. I eventually fell asleep (watching The Raid of all things) when the sun came up. Strangely, I only slept for a few hours. But I destroyed my sleeping pattern.

 

[polonium]

51 hours, travelling.
I was hallucinating a bit at the end. Slept a night and was fine.

 

[Milk Mage]

2 days. Spent both nights crying and masturbating. Occasionally simultaneously

 

[BOLDYSPICY!]

A week. Usually hallucinations start by day four.

 

[AnOminous]

Five days. I'm not sure when hallucinations usually start, because it was entirely fueled by LSD, so those started immediately.

 

[Y2K Baby]

I haven't slept one night since Drumpf became president.

 

[FemalePresident]

48hs, I ended up crying to sleep.
