Also two full days and nights -- I was studying for a final in college, and late into the second night decided I shouldn't sleep, otherwise I would miss my final. Then of course, during the final, I fell asleep. (The page -- it was swimming in front of me, I thought, "I'll just put my head down for a second." My friend was throwing pencils and paper at me to try to get me to wake up.)
Right now. I had been operating on 3 days without sleep. Anxiety issues. I popped a Valium last night and caught a few hours. I'm literally unable to function, but when I try to sleep-nothing happens.
About 5 days, with the help of some lovely little blue pills that I used to take.
I used to work in theatre behind the scenes and it involved a LOT of all-nighters so for a long time the little blue pills were my friends....I don't do that anymore, it really messes your metabolism up.
2 and half days during law school writing my first appellate brief for legal research and writing. I went to turn it in, literally walked into a wall, turned around and went home and slept.
I've had meth clients that have stayed up for around a week.
5 days while I was in the hospital. Pretty much impossible to sleep there. Idiot doctors wouldn't give me a sleeping pill even though I have extreme insomnia and nurses would loudly enter the room every half hour or so.
I pull 48 hour days all the time without sleep but when you're up 4 or 5 you start feeling nuts. Not fun.
Drugged: 5days. Friday morning to late, late Tuesday night. Locked up for the last 2.5. Good thing about being high on meth in jail is you don't even consider eating the food.
4 days until I was hallucinating music coming out of the showerhead...I literally had to go in search of sleeping pills...breakup and well meaning friend saying...f him lets find his stash...
48 hours. Trip to the Soviet Union during college. I can't sleep in moving vehicles, so between the flight to Finland, the train from Helsinki to Moscow, and the major time zone shifts; I didn't stand a chance. First night in Moscow, ended up partying with some students from Moscow University. I had brought a bottle of Jack with me.Somehow, that evaporated, and I woke up in a bathtub the next day. Stories my kids will never hear.
Somewhere near 50 hours. Got trapped in the prison overnight during a wicked snowstorm. New shift never showed, so 6 of us ran the place for almost 2 days. We tried to sleep, but your body won't let it's guard down. True story.
Bronchitis kept me up for days with almost no sleep. Do you know how hard it is to sleep sitting up? Every time I tried to lie down I'd go into coughing spasms. Just awful. Happened to me twice.
Four hours
