How long can you go for without sleep?

LoadsaMoney · 18 Apr 2006 at 21:59

About 8 hrs a night, and about the same sleeping.

i did a week and a half of nights not so long back. Dunno how much sleep i did get but it wasnt a lot. I got no sleep one day, went and did the shift, came off the shift, straight to a mates house and he helped me repair my car, after which he drove me home because i couldnt keep my eyes open :eek:

Im doing nights tomorrow night, then out on the lash at 3pm thursday afternoon for a mates birthday, so i wont get much sleep after tonight either till friday

189 hours (nearly 8 days)

But that was on Shattered (TV endurance show). I am planning at some point in the future trying to break the world record (13days) for charity and scientific studies.

In general though I need 7hours per night to be a fully functional person.

three days without sleep when i went to the download festival. cider keeps me awake big time

Lomgest I've gone was 72 hours straight. But I've averaged about 4-5 hours for years. On the odd occasion I do get a proper nights sleep I feel fresh as a daisy when I wake up.

i27 i just did Friday to Sunday without sleep ;p

Enfield · 18 Apr 2006 at 22:31

The longest I stayed awake for was 36 hours...never again.

awww i wanted to go to i27 but meh something came up (damn Uni welcome day thingie) anyways i've done a few all nighters and generally get about 4-5 hours a night during college and 7-8 through the holidays. Longest i've gone with sleep probably 50-60 hours at a lan centre back when it was open... I miss those days.

Since June of last year 4-5 hours sleep on average per night, as depression can wreck havoc with sleep patterns even with undergoing treatment for it and on pills.

I go through periods where I just can't be bothered to sleep, norm I go about 4-5 days without, with no caffeine.
Though I'm usually ok with 5 hours of sleep, never really been one of those 10 hours sleep kinda people.
