I've been awake sinse-

BWX · Dec 15, 2003, 01:41 PM

I've been awake since 3 hours before they announced they got Saddam. About 2:00am Sunday EST- About 30hrs, 40min. Just a normal day too.
Nothing out of the ordinary for sleeping habits.

I think I may have a problem.

***Veridian3*** · Dec 15, 2003, 02:03 PM

I once stayed awake for about 54 hours, it got really freaky and i eventually passed out for 1hr. I then made my way home and slept for 24 hours solid. Woke up very disorientated...VERY.

Chaos · Dec 15, 2003, 02:35 PM

***Veridian3*** · Dec 15, 2003, 02:43 PM

That's a long time. I don't usually go THAT long- But I seem to go up to about 30 to 40 hours on a regular basis- without any real problems. And I bet I've gone 72hrs (3 days) plenty of times a year. Mostly when my back's buggin me.

After around 24 hours or so, I become a useless zombiified slug though, but I just don't feel like sleeping.. Pretty messed up. Only drugs are perscription pain killers that my Doc. perscribes me, maybe that's what's doing it.

Did it come form a cacti? or cactuses? lol

Chaos · Dec 15, 2003, 03:36 PM

I am guessing that it's the painkillers.....if they are stong they can really mess ya up bigtime....even when taken as prescribed

BWX · Dec 15, 2003, 04:03 PM

They are pretty strong, (hydrocodone) and I take them exactly as prescribed- But I've always been kinda predisposed to being a vampire anyway-

It's just gone to an extreme now- Not everyday or anything, just more than I would say is normal. Funny thing is, they make me feel tired, but them I just zone out sometimes, and don't sleep. When I do sleep after staying up long periods I crash though, last time it was about 12 hours sleeping, straight through. That's not normal for me at all or for any 31 year old I don't think. At least I don't go nuts and hallucinate and whatnot..

lol- at least not yet..

Saint_K · Dec 15, 2003, 04:39 PM

Alot of times my weekend is just 1 day

BWX · Dec 15, 2003, 06:42 PM

I'm going on 36 hours now- Just got my second wind. I'll probably be up until early tomorrow morning... If it's until 2 AM- that will be 48 hours. To me that's normal, most people would think it's some kind of disorder though.

I never really kept track of how many days I've been awake straight through, but I bet it might be 4, maybe 5 days. I knew there were other peeps out there that go through the same shit~ (I just have never met one in person).

Most I have ever been able to do was just over 80 hours (3.3333 days), just conked out after that and have no idea how long I slept for after - must have been quite a while though

mainman · Dec 16, 2003, 04:22 AM

I usually pull 2 allnighters per week due to my job so for me being without sleep for more than 48hours is not a big deal.

Markius · Dec 16, 2003, 07:08 AM

about 17 hours in 24 is how long i stay awake...and having 5 kids (two of them under 2 years old) i think thats a good effort

but in my younger days i use to have alot of "1 day weekends" as saint k put it

and as for the "stimulants"....no comment

That's pretty good, after 24 hours or so of being awake, I am worthless, can't do much more than sit and mess wit PC or something- or maybe a good single player PC game. I wouldn't even drive a car.

Yeah, I here ya...

A week after my Bike Incident , they gave me hydrocodone for my broken ribs and jaw.... (didnt work all to well... but I think they figured after a week in the hospital I was feeling better..... NOT!) BUT, they didnt keep me awake....

I've pulled a lot of 4-5 days stretches. And must admit, it was drug induced as well... fun times... but not a good life style.

though I still feel your pain... I have a BAD sleeping habit as well.... I must say its freaky to find someone with a almost exact sleeping pattern....

Well its not that good cuz im turning into a freakin vampire, my eyes cant stand the daylight and i have to walk during the day with sun glasses, i work from 12.00 am to 8.00 am so during the week i only see daylight when i go home cuz when i wake up its night again. Its really f**ktup. If been at it for 2 years now, believe me its a long time....

DallasStar · Dec 17, 2003, 03:45 AM

just out of randomness, i feel i should inform you that if you have not slept for 72 hours, you are considered legally insane in the USA.

Jeff · Dec 17, 2003, 03:46 AM

longest for me was 3 full days -- 72 hours, holy crap I felt weird at the end of it, I even did some things I wouldn't normally do, lol.

No coffee either.

Judas · Dec 17, 2003, 05:49 AM

i know of a man that tried to push 2 weeks..... coffee.... beer... you name it... he did it all.... (and also tried to stay drunk)...... he finally passed out around the 12th day..... slept 3 weeks.. but not in a hostbital..... he woke up.. and was completely out to lunch for know what had happened for the past 2 months.... (lost some memory)....... although he felt rather well rested.. he was tired in a different sence..... understandable even after a long sleep...

ToshiroOC · Dec 17, 2003, 10:07 AM

I've done 80-90 hour stints with maybe one-two hours of sleep every 20 hours or so. That was suprisingly unpleasant, all told.

Slept for three weeks!?!!?!....with no medical care??..He cannot have been in a very good shape when he woke up...3 weeks is a very,very long time without getting any liquid(water) to your system...

I just thought about something,

I worked 3rd shift for 2 years out of highschool. Went in at 11:30PM left after sun came up at 8:00AM -

After that for a year I worked 2nd shift, 4:30 to Midnight.

A few years later I worked at UPS (basically lifting weights the entire time) from 2:00AM to 9:00AM-

I'm sure that has something to do with messed up sleeping habits, I remember how messed up it was t see the sun coming up and being tired and ready for bed for 2 years- It's a pretty weird feeling. Come to think of it, my sleeping schedule has been wacked out ever since.
