Title: Longest without sleep
Post by: Parts on October 14, 2009, 08:20:52 PM
The other thread made me think of this.  this is without any sleep no cat naps or anything.  I was up three days straight in college writing a paper once two day many  times with nothing more than coffee and Coca Cola

I think about three days is it for me too. You really start to go goofy around the end of the second day.

You feel almost drugged. Makes you wonder how good the info is they get from those sleep deprivation interrogations

Yeah, two days and I get really goofy. It's fun, but not fun like Vicodin or pot.

I have no idea. I am up at 1:30 pm and go to bed around 6:30 am depending on when I get home. That's my longest there.

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

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

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

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

Persona FTW  8)

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

I know, I know :P  Just felt like expressing my adoration for Persona in the same post  ;)

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.

I know that feeling. I suffer periodically with insomnia. I remember a very bad period. It was three weeks and I was averaging about an hour a night. Things were not "not real" but not real either. There was an amount of disassociation.

Had a few months like that when my daughter was a baby. Colicky pains.

I only got about five hours total while in Brimfield last week from Thursday to Saturday and when I got home I was wired from being on edge the whole way back due to my friends driving and didn't get to bed till about 2am :zombiefuck:

When I was finishing my thesis I was up for over 48 hours. Three weeks worth of writing in two days. I should have asked for an extension because I had been in hospital with depression for three weeks.

About three weeks , after a party hosted by a friend in my teens and really overdoing it. I'd been given my first ever MDMA pill by one of the girls there, by all accounts, quite a good one, clean and a lot of alcohol flowed, my own contribution to her get together had been  a couple of  botttles of inhibitor-free ethyl ether and some of a traditional amazonian tribal native psychedelic snuff called yopo.

But on the way home, I took a ride with her mom to score some 'phet, tenner for 3g, so assumed I was going to get what I'd paid for, namely 90% glucose most likely. Only the dealer must have been some family friend or something, and had,on hindsight, obviously decided to give me a good deal on some really high quality stuff. After doing most of it over the night, fuck me the comedown lastes nearly three weeks, no sleep possible, although by the end my eyes were closing in micro-sleeps uncontrollably and the sleep deprivation (the actual whizz had long since worn off, this was three weeks afterwards) had shit going on like seeing big black rifts opening in the walls as I was taking a shower. Interesting enough but still pretty fucked up.

In fairness, had it been anyone and anywhere else, I almost certainly would have been right, 3g for a tenner pretty much would have meant weak fucking garbage. But that particular guy and me with the specific company I was in resulted in quite the opposite. I certainly didn't expect to get what in the uk, often gets referred to, most inaccurately, as base (its not amphetamine freebase, that is a somewhat caustic oil, and a liquid, so called base is just really strong (one hopes) amphetamine paste that has often got a distinctive floral kinda smell, that stinks of leftover precursor sometimes )
