discussion Have you stayed awake for 24 hours?

[FailSafe]

For almost two days. 

[Alldeezy]

I can't I did try but couldn't stay awake any longer.

[zasderfght]

Yes. To people saying "no," I hope you never have to undergo a major surgery. I have, and let me tell you, you will not sleep for days LOL I should've taken melatonin, but I was already on so many different medications, I was scared how the melatonin would've reacted to my pain meds, to be honest. 

 

I also have terrible insomnia. I might try to switch to decaf because I am honest here-- I barely do recreational drugs, I don't drink heaps of caffeine, I eat pretty healthily and am active, and I just cannot sleep lol I literally rely on Melatonin and something like Unisom. If it's getting this bad, I may ask to be put on Ambien. Has anyone tried Ambien? Did it work for your insomnia? 

[BGKC]

Plenty 

I've done 3 days no sleep, especially after life altering traumas and losses. 

[Quiqui4eva]

Like 4 or 5 times in college

[Katamari]

yes

 

i wish we didnt have to sleep tho. such a waste of time 

[Donquizote]

Yes, the longest one was 48 hours. 

[Escape]

Yep.

[Gesamtkunstwerk]

Yes, I remember I couldn't sleep for such a long time I began to hallucinate

 

[1000 forms of queer]

Yes, stayed up 24 hours to finish a job interview project (had to make a deck and present for an hour). I had completely underestimated how long it'd take to finish the deck. Ended up 'blowing away' the interviewers with my presentation and getting the job.

Even if I get 8 hours of sleep a day I doze off at random times and I can't do anything about it 

Dozing off during the day despite having slept enough at night is a telltale sign of sleep apnea. You should get that checked by a doc. 

[Anye]

No, it sounds like nightmare 

[Theshigo Washidu]

Yes, I've

No! I have never had substance abuse issues.

 

[McNulty]

yes, plenty of times in school and college. I did it last week too

[UnusualBoy]

Once and it's horrible, I felt like dying, too tired, with a horrible headable, awful just awful!

[Better Mistakes]

Once when I was like 10. I went to a sleepover and everyone wouldn’t stfu so I was kept awake all night. I had a karate exam the following day and it was horrific  I never went to a sleepover ever again after that

[AshleeSimpsonFan]

Countless times during my medical practices 

[Jude]

Yeah back when I was younger especially during wakes and funeral.

[Pop Life]

I'm a notorious insomniac so a few times. You start to hallucinate. One time I was convinced there was a lion in my bathtub

[ConceptD]

Lots of times when I was younger. I used to have a rule that if I was awake past 4am I’d just drink a lot of coffee and stay up.
