Have you ever managed forty-eight hours without sleep? I won't go into details on this post - but I have. After the first twenty-four hours, I felt lethargic and must have dozed off a couple of times - but for no longer than ten minutes.
Still on the subject of sleep : Do you have a standard time when you go to bed -or are you a night owl?. and what is most likely to disturb your sleep at night? For me, it would be the barking of our dog - thankfully, it only lasts for a minute or two.

I usually sleep pretty well except for those trips to the bathroom a few times a night

I've gone that long with no significant sleep...a few minutes here or there....I get pretty cranky...you don't want to be around me when I'm sleep deprived.

I am a night owl because I work nights. I try to treat it by listening to sounds of rain in you tube. It works.

@Kandae11 I try to make some time in the day and listen to sounds of nature.

Forty eight hours straight with no sleep - no. I wouldn't make it obviously.
Standard time to go to bed - 10pm tops unless I'm out partying. I can function as an early riser or as a night owl so that is no problem with me.
Most likely to disturb me during sleep - noise from neighbors.

one will have reduced oxygen in his brain cells if awake for 48 hours.

@Kandae11 yes, and it can lead to cardio-pulmonary arrest or mental derangement

I generally go to bed between 1230 and 1 am. I am a light sleeper for the most part. I hear when our girls, cats, are up roaming around or chasing one another. Last night I was awakened to thunder and heavy rain. I don't believe I've ever been awake for as long as 48 hours, 24 tops but not 48.

Previously I went to sleep at 8.00pm and woke up at 3.00 am. that was my routine. But I invested a lot on a certain site and had to adjust my sleep in order to 'meet' with people on the other side of the world. I find it hard to sleep during the day...usually I end up with huge headaches. I love the night to do work...but it is not a healthy practice.

@Kandae11 That too. But the daylight can also be harsh when one is not accustom.

up until now i did that twice. so i was binch watching a TV series at the time called chuck with my girlfriend ,and we kept telling each other that this is the last episode and jet we manage to go to the next one before you know it its 4 am in the morning and your left wondering what will happn in the next season so you say lets watch only the first episode of that season ,now your hooked we gave up at temptation and drank some coffee and kept watching we literally watched from Friday morning till son-day morning and after that your mind is so over worked that every thing you do and see that day goes by so fast you keep blinking all day loung and the worst part is now that you want to go to sleep sonday you cant because if you close your eyes all episodes start playing in your head again . the only thing that managed to make me fall a sleep is after a hole 2 hours of love making. told my self it was the last time i did that. jet still after a few weeks i did the same thing binch watching a nother tv series called true blood . now i cant even stay up past 2 am without blinking twice as fast

I don't know how much sleep I have had the last month but it hasn't been much. Maybe 2-3 hours per night, if I'm lucky. With a newborn I don't sleep much lately.
