have you ever tried to stay awake for a long long time??
what is your longest time without sleeping?
mine is around 50 hours.
but i had around a week with 2 hours sleep for a night.
how did you manage to work/study/just get going?
did you feel well? did you feel strong?

I've never gone more than 42 hours without sleep, but many times I have gone an entire week with less then 20 hours of sleep.

I once got stuck working a 24 hour shift at work because no one could come into work so I was stuck there. I then got home after that 24 hour shift and had to turn around and go back to work and work another 8 hour shift. I finally got home after about 48 hours and couldn't get to sleep. My body was so messed up from not having any sleep that I had to take sleeping pills to get to sleep.

I don't sleep much. In fact I have to take strong medication to sleep at all.
I can stay up 50 - 75 hours, but not as easily as when I was younger. Adreniline helps - hot coffee helps!
I sleep from about 9:00 pm until around 11:00 pm - then am up and on the computer most of the rest of the night.

Hello nightmaretm
Lol i have never tried to stay awake for late hours at night, my sleeping habits are very routine..going to bed early and getting up early is always a good habit, but if one keeps awake till late night, it is not possible to get up early morning..
for me, normally i go to bed by 10pm and get up between 5-6am depending upon weather..
Thank you so much for this nice discussion.
Professor. . Cheers have a great day ahead.
God bless you. Welcome always.
