Ever go a full 24 hours with no sleep?

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?

Yeah one time I got stuck on I24 in kentucky in a blizzard in on the highway for 14 hours. We left TN at 3p.m. in the afternoon drove nonstop and arrived in Iowa 36 hours later... no sleep. The traffic jam was 40 miles long

I regularly stay awake for 30-40 hrs. The longest I've gone with no sleep is 96hrs after 50-60 you start hallucinating wildly. Although the scariest part is that when I tried to go to sleep I couldn't, I had to chemically knock myself out to finally get some sleep.

Cheers,
Scotsman

24-36 without sleep would just be a minor inconvenience. I have had some bouts with insomnia and after 4-5 days without sleep you can’t even drive a car, working the TV remote can be a challenge, you start to loose you’re short term memory and get very confused.

after just a couple days your brain starts to show the same waveforms as sleep while you're awake.

4-5 times I've worked 36 straight hours. It was kinda cool.

I went 53 hours once, but I was working. No drugs, and I lived on Coffee, Oreo's, and like 7 packs of Big Red. I'm kind of sick in the head when it comes to work sometimes.

I have had some pretty bad sleep disorders throughout my life.
A few years ago I would only sleep on Wednesday night. I would go to bed at 8pm and wake up at 4am on Friday for work. I would go to work and then go out all weekend. Go to work again on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. No sleep from Friday until Wednesday.
Interestingly, I would watch tv all night. There used to be these commercials for "Just kidding Video's" The were really funny. Okay, maybe they weren't but I laughed uncontrollably (no sleep can do that). I would call to order them and nobody would pick up. Every night I would watch the infomercial and call. No answer. This went on for months!
I wonder now it I just had the same helucination over and over from sleep deprivation.

I think the longest I can remember going is about 32 hours, when I was working a night job at school. Got up for that, stayed up afterwards and went to class all day, the gym after that for pickup game of hoops, lifting, then work again and finally sleep a little later. Felt like I was drunk. I've done around 24 hours a few different times, some involving a few different drugs in the process, lol.
