Horendithas Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 [FONT="Arial"][COLOR="Indigo"]I think the longest I've gone is a few days without sleep. The last time, it was because I was sick and I had a headache that kept me from falling asleep. The rest of the time, I tend to sleep about six hours and then I'm good to go. Sometimes I'll sleep around eight, like on the weekends, but the rest of the time, I'm too used to waking up after that six hours is up.

Warlock Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I think my record is roughly around the 36 hour mark. Despite the numerous screwed up sleeping schedules I've had in life, I've always managed to somehow squeeze in a couple of hours before or around that point, so I've never really went any longer continuously. I could actively try for longer, but I don't think my body or my mind would particuarly appreciate that little course of action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's the problem with waiting too long to make your triumphant return; no one remembers who you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenso Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 [FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Green"]My standing record is just over a week, although I barely remember it, as I was much, much younger at the time (I only know it went that long due to family testimony). Some crap had happened and my little step-sisters were being paranoid, so I apparently decided that the big brother route to take was to just not bother sleeping so they could feel like someone was there at all times, just in case. In recent memory, my best is 4 days, and that was literally just because I could. Not sure I could even do the 4 days now, as that was still in high school, and I have issues staying awake if I go past 24 hours awake now. Thankfully, I still only require 5-6 hours of sleep.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibi-master Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Who knew that reading some 273 pages of 400-something page book and then blasting my eyes with the intensely birght light of a laptop screen could make me feel so tired. Seriously, my eyes feel like they're about to bleed and I'm pretty sure I'm foaming from the mouth a little. Although, I'm sure that exhausting yardwork I did today is not helping much. Or the fact that I'm so stressed out about not being able to catch the effing Entei in my pokemon ranger game (the older one)... STUPIDFARNJHYTDURFLUGTYDRSERSELIWASSOCLOOOSE!!!

Mr. Maul Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]I've been awake for nine days straight. I've been talking to the lamp for the past three hours. He's a cocky bastard. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Well, there was this time when I was younger and my mom was trying win a car from the local radio station. They basically had to stand non-stop with at least one hand on the car. every couple of hours, they got a 10 minute break so it pretty much left no time for sleep. I decided that I would stay up with my mom just to give her moral support... I lasted for just over 4 days... And I wouldn't have even made it that long if it weren't for the energy drinks I had. (Unfortunately for Mom, she wasn't permitted energy drinks) But other than that one time, I think I've stayed up close to 72 hours... It was mostly school related, but from time to time, I'll have a burst of creativity and I literally can't sleep for a couple of nights until I get everything out onto paper or computer...

Aaryanna Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 [FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DarkGreen"]I think my record is a few days and only when I'm sick and don't feel good. Otherwise, I tend to be a creature of habit and sleep regularly. I feel out of sorts if I don't. [/COLOR][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skye Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 [size=1]So I'm pulling an all nighter right now simply because I should go to bed on time tomorrow night. Watch it not happen. And I think it is hilarious that it took me three tries to spell 'happen.' Oh joy.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibi-master Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Last night I was up so late that if I sat up my head would spin. If I tried to stand up, I'd fall over with my eyes trying to roll into the back of my skull. At that point I sort of wondered if someone at the Minute Maid factory had tampered with the cans of frozen lemonade and put alcohol or something in there, seeing as I had a large glass of it...:animedepr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
