Ive slep from 8PM - 3PM before;)

you lazy bum :p

36 hours.

I said 8 to 14.

I slept from 1 to 1:01 once.

36 hours.

I think its best if we dont include drug induced stints.

13 hours.

Ive slep from 8PM - 3PM before;)
Me guess you was tired?

Longest for me is 5 a.m. - 9 p.m. My parents were not pleased.

i'd easily average 13+ hours a night(?) if one let me. unfortunately, life, and, people, don't tend to let me.

longest for me was 8 P.M to 12 a.m. the next night. 16+ hours total.

I once slept (on and off, really) for about forty-eight hours. I never got out of bed once.

Pfft...14 hours?

I once slept 20 hours...of course that was induced by anesthesia (sp.) :D

record; 76 hours.
I got up for 15 minutes to eat once.
(I had been up for 4 days straight...don't ask)

17 hours.

I think I win...

I think I win...

Perhaps. But you don't get anything.

It's a moral victory:rolleyes:

I once slept for 18 hours (6 AM to midnight) but that was as a result of near lethal alochol consumption.

record; 76 hours.

Crack binges don't count dammit!:sniper: :mp5:

Not saying there wasn't a bitch of a hangover involved though.

Why, when people say don't ask, Do I have the urge to ask why?

Is it because I'm stupid?

Meh wotever

longest for me is 5 am till 3pm

That would be.......10 hours

13 hours.
Damn...

Why, when people say don't ask, Do I have the urge to ask why?

Yes

Meh wotever

And there's the proof

Alright I'll tell you why...

Up 48 hours doing a major exam project.

16 hour party (Friends threw it for end of term)

12 hour drive to Northern New Hampshire to go sking (Cannon) and I can't sleep in cars, becasue I get violently car-sick.

8 hours of skiing (Do Not Recommend Skiing on less than 6 hours sleep...look at that; 0 in 3 days)

12 hour drive home

last 12 hours were a blur...no idea

**Although I skiied, and lived, I could have died...really...it was like being stoned without the happy part. No coordination, no reaction.

I remember at one point going down the trail and thinking something along the lines of "Wow I'm going really fucking fast. Oh well...I don't care."

Wow 4 days with no sleep that sounds dangerous. My record is from 6 P.M.-7A.M. I was sick though. and still went to school after I woke up at 7:00 A.M. ;)

I slept 13 hours last night, in fact. Isn't the flu a wonderful thing? :(

You went to school!?!
What a pussy ;)

I think its best if we dont include drug induced stints.

13 hours.

How about the aftermath of drug induced stints? You can easily sleep for thirty plus hours if you've been speeding a couple of days.

This is why you always set an alarm. Once I slept for 10 hours, and I felt terrible because I wasted 3 hours asleep that coul have been wasted on something more entertaining.
I figure I can catch up on my sleep when my own actions catch up to me and I'm either in a cell or a coffin.

I slept about 21 hours once. That was a horrible week altogether.

thats how i felt when i got up. felt like i could have been doing something better wiht my time, like being on nationstates lol :) also it gets dark here at 4 so basically i only saw 1 hour of daylight today...

I slept from 5 am today till 7 pm this afternoon :eek:

I slept from 5 am today till 7 pm this afternoon :eek:

lol, nice :D

Take an afternoon nap.

Yeah... good ol' afternoon naps...

19 hours is my record after 2.5 weeks of flying around America, barely getting used to timezones before I jumped again. When I got home (UK) after being awake the entire night flight home, I went out playing (I was 12) for a few hours. When I got home, I fell asleep in my living room (at 4pm) and woke up the next day at 11am.

Not the best sleeping story though. On the way back from Leeds Festival this year, I think I fell asleep driving a few times. I may have still been a bit drunk, too. What's worse is that I fell asleep going over the M62, going across the Pennines, and it was about 20m visibility. Suffice to say, the next service station had me with three cups of tea and a few bottles of lucozade.

lol, nice :D
I blame this forum! :P I didn't sleep at all on Thursday and slept an average of 4 hours most days this week. :P

Does head-injury induced coma count?

2 months. Not me.

I was in a coma for 14 months after a blunt head trauma...
BEAT THAT

I'd rather not, I don't want to put you back into the coma.

Too harsh?

That's cheating! :p

14 hours used to be regular for me. in fact i function best on about 10 to 12 (but tend to get about 6 lol)

at uni my record was not waking up till 7pm (having been asleep probably about 1am, making it a grand total of 18 hours)


though if this were voluntarily staying in bed (awake or no) i'm in with a chance at 3 days :)

Have you ever woken up and just...not got out of bed? I mean, be awake and shit, but never leave the covers, then fall asleep again?

Man, I wish I was back home. And 13. At Christmas.

I think 18 is my record after staying up for 71, also my record...

yup. that was the 3 day thing... woke up and didn't see the point of getting out of bed for three days (well i got up to pee lol, but i had an en-suite so it wasn't like a lot of effort or anything ;))

did a 2-day trot in bed fairly frequently at uni - flatmate used to come in and bring me joints lol - but only one 3 day-er :P

I pissed in a bottle. Shat in it too. FTL, TBH, as I filled an entire 4 pint milk carton fairly quickly, and the poo didn't enjoy fitting in either. :(

That is...revolting.

I slept from 10.30pm to about 2.30pm once.. so 16 hours. That was after I went to a party, got really drunk, didn't go to sleep at all, went to pre-season cricket training (after almost 30 hours of no sleep and getting drunk in the middle of it) and then went home and sat around for ages. I could easily do 12 hours most nights, and do sometimes if I get the chance.

ah the things you learn at festivals :p

eew btw

Sleep? What's that?

18 hours. I woke up for two hours, ate, went to the bathroom, puttered about, and went back to sleep. No idea how I managed that.

Sleep? What's that?

its the 2nd most important thing that takes place in a bed...

So you like eating in bed too, huh?

So you like eating in bed too, huh?

absolutely :p

Well, today I slept for 10 hours and 45 minutes.

The longest I ever slept was 7PM-4PM, with a brief wake up at 12PM to outside noise. But, you know, a combination of a wicked headache, 3 2-22s (you know, the caffeine and codine pills), plus lack of proper sleep for a week...

I slept for 3 days once, but I had just come of of 7 days of not sleeping due to meth use, and had taken like 2 Quaaludes, so I guess it doesn't count

un-assisted by illegal drugs, I slept for 10 hours the first night that my first kid slept through the night, I woke up all freaked out,and worried about the baby (because up until that point I had to wake up every 2 hours with her)

I slept for 30 hours after coming down with clinical exhaustion. Was sleeping 4 hours every other day due to school and work for 4 months prior to that. I had no chemical help outside of caffine and nicotine to stay up that long.

Longest I ever slept straight without waking up? About 20 hours. I was about 10 and travelled to the UK with my dad. I'd not slept before the trip in a couple days because I was so excited, and I was seriouly jetlagged. In addition I was run around London from 6 am thru about 11 pm nonstop except for short rides on the Underground the day we arrived. I remember nothing of that day. I got up after the 20 hours, had no idea where I was, walked downstairs and said "where's mommy?"

So they put me back to bed.

My longest is something 16 hours, but I ate and went to the bathroom after hour three. I hadn't slept in 24 hours (damn redeyes) and when I got to my hotel (in Athens) I fell asleep right away. My parents brought me a pizza, which I thought I was eating for breakfast, and I fell back asleep. In total, it was about 4 PM-7 PM, eat, bathroom, 7:15 PM-9:15 PM

After getting two total hours of sleep in a week (I'd been horribly sick through the whole thing and couldn't sleep at all), I once said goodbye to my father (who was going on a business trip) on Friday and was consequently woken up by him Sunday evening. I'd total that at almost 40 hours. I'm sure I woke up several times during that time, but quite frankly, I don't remember them. My mother assured me that she'd woken me up twice during that time until the day she died but I don't remember those either.

Either way, I never got out of bed and I never spent more than a minute awake.

Yeah... good ol' afternoon naps...
Ye can'a beat them.

So who has been living off arond 5 1/2 Hours of sleep per day?:p

Last summer I stood up all night playing games (Warcraft III and Wolfenstein Enemy Territory), and then the next day I fell asleep early in the evening, only to wake up the next morning. I slept twice as much as normal, obviously to compensate for the lost sleep.

So I've slept both 0 hours and 16 hours.

during the week i average 6 hours a night. my roommate keeps me up. he never goes to sleep before 5 am. ive plotted murder several times...

Well i go to bed around 1AM so that is a hell of alot different than 5AM.
That is really unfair.

yeah it sucks :(

Seventeen hours. That was after 36 straight hours of work. And I was coming down with flu at the time. I woke up sick.

yeah it sucks :(
So are you at 'the Uni'?

I slept for 36 hours once. It wasn't drug induced, I was ill and badly injured my heel and got hit hard by a kick to the stomach during some overly intense training.

Man I felt like shit after that, I had an awesomely bad headache and felt like I had no energy (although sleeping was impossible, it felt like I needed it.)

Wait, now that I think of it, withdrawal from my adderal might have been related.

i slept till 3 p.m.!!! thats 14 hours!!! i usually only get maybe 6 hours of sleep every night. wow, half the day is already gone!

whats the longest amount that you have ever slept? *poll on its way*


Once, when I was younger, I worked a double shift, 16 hrs solid, that after being awake the previous day, so about 30-32 hrs awake. When I finally got home, I was so exhausted I could not sleep. So I took one of my mom's Flexeril.

I took it Saturday around 5pm. I woke up Sunday after 9pm. Well rested.

Mom said she was getting worried, but I was breathing OK and seemed to be comfortable, so she just let me sleep...

So are you at 'the Uni'?

yeah. semester is almost over, only 2 more weeks. im counting the days...

What about your Flat'mate'?

It isn't much to worry about now with the Holidays soon right?????...

I have a sleep issue, once I stayed awake for 103 hours (that's around 4 days in case you didn't know) and I woke up maybe 4.5 days later later, I think I might have woken up in hospital, or maybe I was just in the living room. I can't remember any of it, and I don't really want to.

What about your Flat'mate'?

It isn't much to worry about now with the Holidays soon right?????...

i cant wait to go home for the holidays. i just want my own room

I don't sleep much. i'm an insomniac, but I once slept for about 15 hours on a plane. well, most of that 15 hours.

Yes



And there's the proof


Oooo that was harsh lol

Oooo that was harsh lol

Thank you, thank you **bows**

For some reason I never pictured you as much of a meth user.

During my heady school days i would sleep for 3 hours a night during weekdays and 16 hours on the weekends.

These days however i am more restrained at sleep on average 10 hours a day.

PS. I must point out at this point that those ten hours are often between the times of 8am and 6pm.

not quite sure on the longest...it was well over 14 hours though...

but normally i sleep for 10 to 12 hours a night...from midnight or one til whenever most of the time...sometimes from 9 til noon. pretty much whenever i want to sleep.

My best was 20 hours straight, up for 2, back to sleep for another 14 last March. I had a hell week for one of the shows I teched. It started out with me being up 4 days straight. I woke up, went to school, started teching after, rehearsal, late night, got home, did work, showered, went to school, electric work, show, up all night doing work, shower, school, lunch, video games, show, up all night with people, show next afternoon. I got home from the cast party of the show at 10 PM. I woke up 6 PM the next day, ate dinner, and went to bed again at 8 and woke up at 10 AM monday morning (decided to take school off).

For some reason I never pictured you as much of a meth user.
I'm recovered now (or recovering as they say in A.A.) but, I used to be pretty bad into drugs, looking back I can't figure out if I was using because I worked 80 hours a week or if I had to work 80 hours a week to pay for my addiction.

Mononucleosis had me sleeping 21 hours a day - the other 3 were hell.

i normally sleep 9-10 hours a night, i just have a tendency to crash asleep in the afternoon till the next morning if i miss a night of sleep. made the holidays with LAN parties every other night pretty interesting

The longest stretch of sleep I had was the result of running a hospital laboratory by myself and provide testing for someone that was admitted for ketoacidosis, which meant every hour, on the hour, for 12 hours, go down to the ward, draw a tube of blood, go back to the lab, run the tests, and take the results back down to the ward. This was on top of the normal night stuff. Got home at about 8am and didn't wake up until 11:30pm.

I got very sick a few summers back and spent a period of about 6 months sleeping 16-19 hours a day every single day (No exaggeration) and was still exhausted for the time i was awake.
I couldnt think or concentrate on conversations and i was an emotional mess.

Worst time of my life

Thats 4.5 months out of 6
Ouch!!!

I once lost almost all of a Saturday after I went to a chiropractor. I probably fell asleep around 9 PM, and woke up for dinner (approx. 6-7PM) the next day. I ate for about 30 minutes, then I fell asleep again (and probably slept for another 8 or so hours). So about 21 or 22 hours. No meds, just apparently one hell of a back adjustment. My back felt like jelly during that time.

i slept till 3 p.m.!!! thats 14 hours!!! i usually only get maybe 6 hours of sleep every night. wow, half the day is already gone!

whats the longest amount that you have ever slept? *poll on its way*

When I was 15, many many moons ago, I slept from 11 to 11. I was visiting my grandmother and it frightened her. She was just about to hold a mirror under my nose to see if I was still breathing when I woke up. She was so relieved that I wasn't dead that she did not get mad. :)

Wow...so many super sleepers here. Right now I get a reasonable amount of sleep and don't stay up too much past midnight too often (it's 1 AM here and I am probably going to sleep soon) but I was more of an erratic sleeper in college, or as I call it, my glory days.

I slept for 16 hours once - I was up all night the previous night and went to bed at 3 in the afternoon. I woke up a couple of times, and the last time was at 6 PM. The next thing i knew after that, it was the next morning.

As for staying up all night...I did that a few times in college as well. My second year in college, my Model UN club traveled to New York for a conference, and I stayed up all night on the way there and the way back because we traveled at night. I drove in the middle of the night and was exhausted (but didn't sleep) and I had to be prodded out of the driver's seat (I had driven for about 4 hours.) Then I got back and went to a friend's for Easter, and I was inexplicably asked to drive despite the fact that they knew I hadn't slept. I kept myself awake by sticking my head out the window at high speeds and slapping my face over and over just to try to jolt my system. I slept for a good 12 hours after that.

I slept for 74 hours once, but that was because I was in a coma caused by a severe allergic reaction to medication, so I doubt that counts. :p

As for staying up all night...I did that a few times in college as well.

ive done that a few times too. last semester i had 18 credit hours and was so busy during finals that i didnt go to sleep twice that week.
