Hi All,

I'm not talking about being sick, I'm tlking about of necessity? Had to drive my GF to the airport at midnight last night as one of her family is very ill. It was 8am before I got back and I literally showered and did an 8 hour working day. 36 hours with no sleep and I'm feeling it!!

How long can you go before you can't take it anymore?

Been up for 7 days straight, no sleep. Military special ops training.

Also many times 4-5 days up while partying.

Working 12 hours night shifts, while watching my 2 year old during the day. Often went more than 24 hours without sleep. I've been so tired at work that I had to puke. At times I'd sleep about 12 hours a week, while working 60 hours at night and watching my daughter all day. Mountain Dew, Xenadrine, and anything else I could get my hands on that would help me stay awake.

My personal record is 96 hours. I then slept for 8 hours and had to stay up for another 24 straight.

I have done that way too often. I seriously dislike it. When you are sick it makes it 10x as bad.

I've gone 3 days

I used to think it was a big deal but now in my job I do it all the time. Anything after 3 days is just zombie state, it is hard to be sharp in those situations.

ive been on exercises where ive slept 3 hrs in a week,we had time to sleep i just saw no point in trying when in 20 mins an artillery sim would go off next to you and scare the fuck out of you.

like sf says its a zombie state,i actually believe i was walking and sleeping at the same time,either that or i was so out of it it felt like sleep
