What's the longest you've ever stayed up straight?
 

effing Q4 for clients and end of year stuff is killing me this year.

I got 2 hours of sleep tues night/wed. morning.

but how many of you have broken the 48 mark?


if you can fight through the several "almost past out moments", like hours 30-36 were the hardest for me i'd say... from there though, it gets better...


it's almost like if any of you have ever tried fasting for 3 days... by the time you eat again, you realize you probably needed so much less of it than you take....

Three hours of sleep over a 72-hour span is my record.

5 days.

Been around the 48 hour mark for work.

Not sure I exceeded it or was a lil under. Shit gets to be like dream by that point.

i'v broken 48 easy. maybe 60ish. slept fot about the same too lol

Strik be taking them weed naps.

lol

When I did that lil stretch there was alotta drugs involved.

Bout 8 years ago I did that.. won't ever do that or anything close to it ever again.

yea shit... damn im surprised that many have lol.


Exactly Metts on the dream front dude.... But that's the kinda cool state once you get past physical exhaustion

well it's the state i was waiting for at this point because i still need to work on something and am at least a bit more cognizant lol


BUT --- were all of ya'll like druggin it up and shit during those times?

Nah. Was working but when I do stretches like that the sleep is always the best ever.


Best then after sex sleep.


You dont even remember falling asleep. Thats that shit right there.

i remember counting the hours by back in college. i hit 54 hours at one point, delirious, manic, and laughing all at once. whoever said once you get by a certain point, it gets better, it's true. however it does suck waking up at 11 o'clock at night a day later and everyones going to sleep and you know the cycle is gonna start all over again

I actually remember staying up like that & the crash ruining my thought process for about a week afterwards.. it was horrible.

Definitely fried my nugget a little by doing that.

I used to have clinical insomnia. I want to say 5 days. But it was a constant slur for about a few months which, is honestly probably one of the worst feelings ever. Like worse than being clowned on a forum site for not having 20 dollars to provide for yourself or your family and bragging about going to jail and having your kid probably not even recognize you and will probably call some other guy daddy. Way worse.

yea man for sure

sooo --- in the like waken meditation/alpha mode --- how free did you get from the 'ol matrix my friend?

that the state where the space between matter starts to matter most..


it is very trippy, literally, because of what you can tune into if you let yourself.

alas, i know how i sound and don't want the sincerity of what i'm saying to get lost in assumed exhaustion lol

3-4 days (most likely a few hours over 4). Don't know how long but I started hallucinating (audible and visual, slight hints of sensory), so there's that. Nah, never done any drugs other than weed and alcohol in case you wondered, so nothing to ''help'' me stay up for that long.

it was 3.5 days

work and travel, but i slept i say maybe an hr from nodding toward the end intermittently

shortly after i assed out, and woke up to the phone ringing abt somethin important

for real? yea man that's a whole different world if so, because you're never too awake or too asleep lol...

curious, do you believe in the other side? interested in what your experiences are as an insomniac, because i could see an individual having a higher propensity to tune in than the typical sleeper


but at the same time, everyone gets dessensitized overtime and can shape their experience around their expectations rather than their experience reshape their expectations...

oh yea man 10000%


It's also funny how, at least for me, the first night of sleep I will actually get less than i expect, like there's a latency to it --- i'll get hit hard on like Sunday and Monday though lol...




and word up @Objective --- just like when people start dosing or waking up and they think they 'heard something' from a dream and question whether it really happened -- there is certainly the same "projection of your subconcious" opportunity in a waken state while drained... not unlike deep meditation would be i guess or strong visualization


but yea man, that shit gets me the worst...


I have a wall fountain in muh office, since i work from home and tried to make it all zen like lol... but when i step out and the sound is muffled a bit --- it might as well sound like a TV show is on in my office with a conversation happening

literally like your shroomin or something.


and then the eeriest sounds, for those who have experienced you know exactly what i mean i'm sure, the damn high-pitched frequencies... if a washer or something is running or whatever, iunno... just makes me think about life a LITTLE bit differently

24 hours. The fuck am I trying to stay up 3 days for? I like my sleep. 6 hours minimum.

yea i hear you bro --- it's only worth going into the third day if you were forced to have 2 for whatever reason


at the same time, i just keep on catching myself staring at shit and having very little sense for whether it was seconds or fucking minutes


so to conclude what pretty much everyone was saying, yea, this probably just sucks


how the fuck am i going to present this tomorrow, i'm going to fall asleep while runnin a webex lol

After the 2nd day you must be so sluggish and mentally unstable. It might be a good spiritual experiment...

Ur another gullible faggot who needs to stfu lol forreal.. give it a rest, jerkoff.

yea dude, that's exactly it --- i was literally just thinking about it when i saw your Neo image lol


you do get to a point you break beyond the sluggishness a bit, and with that, you are a bit more mentally stable than before because a lot of the slowness is us just thinking "fuck im tired and i was i was sleeping".

on that mental part though, while it is not a completely tired kinda unstability -- it definitely isn't a 'finish this strategy' kinda stable either

i'm thinking clearly about shit but just have much less control over what i think about --- and am my near-term memory is fucking garbage right now lol

Longest I ever went was like five days but this was when I was like years ago. It was torture. The 'spiritual' part of it comes from deprivation of rest. Without rest your body compensates by going into sleep every few seconds. Same thing happens when fasting. The brain produces the same feelings associated with eating to compensate which is why most religions fast. But I won't go without sleep ever.

Is it damaging to your health at all? @namix

Also, regarding the thread title, after four hours, you should consult a doctor.

2 days

i've been straight for the full 28 years i've been alive

i aint on no fruity shit like these lames

Staying up all night to look at the moon and stars.

Cocaine cowboys know 48 is nada

lmao you the only guy on this forum who got upset when the rest the kids played hangman at school because your neck looked the proportions of his body in length

roflzzz

also, this

I don't sleep much ever...few hours here and there but I honestly don't keep track of it anymore, I have been in a dream like state for about a year or so.

its very rare that i'm up past 3 or 4.

i keep my sleep cycle pretty solid. i forgot that it's totally awesome to force yourself awake for weeks on end. brain damage rocks. you guys are the coolest, man.

24-Year-Old Woman Tweets About Working 30 Hours Straight Right Before She Collapses & Dies
 

In today’s success-obsessed society, sleep is often looked at as a bad thing. We tend to admire and respect those who brag about how much sleep they don’t get because they’re too busy “grinding” or “getting this money”. We throw around phrases like “sleep when you die” and “sleep is for broke people” in our never-ending quest for success. What we have to keep in mind though is that good health IS wealth. Getting a good night’s sleep is not a negative thing, but a necessary component for your mind and body to function properly. Some people function well on only a few hours of sleep at night while others need a full eight hours of sleep to function properly…and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! It’s what you do with the hours that you’re awake that count! This is a story of a young woman who, unfortunately, did not know how much damage sleep deprivation can do to your body and paid the ultimate price after a 30-hour work binge. Read her tragic story plus the 10 surprising effects of lack of sleep below and use it as a cautionary reminder the next time you’re bragging about how much sleep you DON’T get….


Mita Diran regularly turned to Twitter and Tumblr to vent about working ridiculously long hours for her employer, Young & Rubicam Indonesia. “The more you spend time at the office, the more you consider moving your bed here,” she wrote back in October. Her tweets were often accompanied by the hashtag #AgencyLife.


The very dedicated employee often posted updates about her hectic job.

An employee of the young woman's father posted explained she was drinking too many energy drinks to stay awake and it attacked her heart.

The Jakarta copywriter as 'working over the limit,' according to her mom.

Family and friends of Mita Duran urged other to know their limit.

On December 14, Diran was again on Twitter. “30 hours of working and still going strooong,” she tweeted. Hours later she suffered heart failure and slipped into a coma from which she wouldn’t awake.


Though Diran’s death was immediately attributed to overwork — A Path post attributed to her father, an ad agency employee himself, suggests Diran may have been working for up to three days straight — local media reports say her regular consumption of the energy drink Krating Daeng (also known as “Thai Red Bull”) may have also contributed to her sudden demise.

On Nov. 14, the 24-year-old slept in an hour and called it the 'sweetest sleep I've had in a long time.'

Sadly, Diran is not the first young ad agency employee this year to die after spending an impossible number of hours in the office.

A 24-year-old Ogilvy & Mather employee dropped dead suddenly of a massive heart attack in the august ad agency’s Beijing offices after… Read…

In May, Ogilvy & Mather China confirmed that 24-year-old Li Yuan collapsed at his desk from an apparent cardiac arrest after working until 11 p.m. every day for a month.

He was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. – Via Gawker

10 Surprising Effects Lack of Sleep Can Have On Your Body:

1. Sleepiness causes accidents – the recent Metro North train accident in the Bronx that killed 4 and injured 63 caused by a sleepy motorman is a perfect example. Sleep loss is also a big public safety hazard every day on the road. Drowsiness can slow reaction time as much as driving drunk. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that fatigue is a cause in 100,000 auto crashes and 1,550 crash-related deaths a year in the U.S. The problem is greatest among people under 25 years old.

2. Sleep Loss Dumbs You Down – Sleep plays a critical role in thinking and learning. Lack of sleep hurts these cognitive processes in many ways. First, it impairs attention, alertness, concentration, reasoning, and problem solving. This makes it more difficult to learn efficiently.

3. Sleep Deprivation Can Lead To Serious Health Problems – Sleep disorders and chronic sleep loss can put you at risk for:

Heart disease
Heart attack
Heart failure
Irregular heartbeat
High blood pressure
Stroke
Diabetes
4. Lack of Sleep Kills Sex Drive – Sleep specialists say that sleep-deprived men and women report lower libidos and less interest in sex. Depleted energy, sleepiness, and increased tension may be largely to blame.

5. Sleepiness is Depressing – Over time, lack of sleep and sleep disorders can contribute to the symptoms of depression. In a 2005 Sleep in America poll, people who were diagnosed with depression or anxiety were more likely to sleep less than six hours at night.

6. Lack of Sleep Ages Your Skin – Most people have experienced sallow skin and puffy eyes after a few nights of missed sleep. But it turns out that chronic sleep loss can lead to lackluster skin, fine lines, and dark circles under the eyes. When you don’t get enough sleep, your body releases more of the stress hormone cortisol. In excess amounts, cortisol can break down skin collagen, the protein that keeps skin smooth and elastic.

7. Sleepiness Makes You Forgetful – Trying to keep your memory sharp? Try getting plenty of sleep. In 2009, American and French researchers determined that brain events called “sharp wave ripples” are responsible for consolidating memory. The ripples also transfer learned information from the hippocampus to the neocortex of the brain, where long-term memories are stored. Sharp wave ripples occur mostly during the deepest levels of sleep.

8. Losing Sleep Can Make You Gain Weight – When it comes to body weight, it may be that if you snooze, you lose. Lack of sleep seems to be related to an increase in hunger and appetite, and possibly to obesity. According to a 2004 study, people who sleep less than six hours a day were almost 30 percent more likely to become obese than those who slept seven to nine hours. Not only does sleep loss appear to stimulate appetite. It also stimulates cravings for high-fat, high-carbohydrate foods. Ongoing studies are considering whether adequate sleep should be a standard part of weight loss programs.

9. Lack of Sleep May Increase Risk of Death – In the “Whitehall II Study,” British researchers looked at how sleep patterns affected the mortality of more than 10,000 British civil servants over two decades. The results, published in 2007, showed that those who had cut their sleep from seven to five hours or fewer a night nearly doubled their risk of death from all causes. In particular, lack of sleep doubled the risk of death from cardiovascular disease.

10. Sleep Loss Impairs Judgement, Especially About Sleep – Lack of sleep can affect our interpretation of events. This hurts our ability to make sound judgments because we may not assess situations accurately and act on them wisely.

Sleep-deprived people seem to be especially prone to poor judgment when it comes to assessing what lack of sleep is doing to them. In our increasingly fast-paced world, functioning on less sleep has become a kind of badge of honor. But sleep specialists say if you think you’re doing fine on less sleep, you’re probably wrong. And if you work in a profession where it’s important to be able to judge your level of functioning, this can be a big problem.
