5 days.  Got wonderful hallucinations, heard voices and was a paranoid fuck :green: 

Was that drug assisted?

(Caffeine drinks not included)

Nope :P

If you lot think I'm fucked up now, you should have seen me then  :lol:  I hardly ever slept properly, just passed out of exhaustion every few days.

3 days is my max too.

When I went through that recent bout of pnemonia, the meds really fucked me up and I went 5 weeks on just 90 mins of sleep every 24 hours. Brutal. I'm still recovering from it and I've been med free for a week and a half. My sleep cycle is majorly screwed up and I constantly have that so tired I must be drugged sluggish feeling.  :P

I have done weeks with a few hors here and there but three day seems to be most peoples no nap limit

I've done weeks with very little sleep, too. Every year, in fact, when it's time to work for the film festival.

Ingrid Bergman must be hard to stay awake threw

Ingrid is OK but Ingmar is worse--his films are all sleep-inducing.  :zombiefuck:

 :thumbdn:

Especially his early ones. :zoinks:

She's Monika  :laugh:  She's a moody cunt in the film though.

That's Harriet Andersson and she wasn't in Persona. The image is from Sommaren med Monika.

If there's something I recognise from my days as an archive projectionist, it's old Swedish films. :P

Maybe a couple of days, I like sleep too much. I go through regular phases of 3 or 4 nights in a row with about 3 hours of sleep all night, though.

2 days for me. I tend to get nauseous along with a pounding headache on the 2nd day.

  One time in high school, I stayed up all night long to finish a long-overdue paper.  In those days,
   I didn't even drink coffee.  It was quite an accomplishment.  I felt like shit the next day.  :kapkao:

3 or 4 days, I couldn't really tell at the end.  It was after my son was born and was stuck in the NICU for a while.  I think I passed out here and there, but never actually laid down and slept.  I didn't get more than 2 hours of sleep in a row for almost 4 months.  It's all kind of fuzzy.
