Four days straight. It was horrible. You literally start seeing And hearing things that aren't there.
I just couldn't sleep. Worst bout of insomnia.
That’s true
shareI don't remember what time it was when I finally got some sleep, but I stayed up for 42 hours straight once. I was working overnights and had to be up during the day to take care of my kids. I can't remember why, but my husband (now ex) wasn't around to watch them, so I stayed up, worked, took care of the kids, worked another shift, and another round of childcare before I got about a 4-hour nap before going back to work again. I was a zombie, for sure, after that episode. I refused to repeat it.
I've stayed up as late as 3:30, 4:00 am just chatting here. That was a while ago, during "Dewey days."
I stayed up till 3:30 am for the one year celebration. I haven't stayed up that late since.
share48 hours recently. I couldn’t think straight as a result. I wouldn’t dare get behind a wheel! For some reason as we age we suffer more from insomnia. I take a sleeping pill which doesn’t work very well.
shareI couldn't sleep last night and was up until 4 this morning, but I usually only get about 4 or 5 hours a night anyways. The longest I stayed awake was about 56 hours. I was travelling on the cheap and flights and multiple shorter layovers as well as a train. I can't sleep if I'm not in a bed so there was no shut eye on the planes either. Then I had jet lag for a couple of days. So yeah, now I travel a little more kindly to my body.
share72 hours - when I first started my business I just wanted to see how far I could push myself. By this point you’re hallucinating, hearing humming birds and seeing synapses spark in the corner of your eyes.
shareI missed a few nights when the kid was young and sick.
share23 days, had to be hospitalized.
shareTwenty three days?!
I thought maybe I was at the extreme.
You had to be positively psychotic.
My Dr. thought it would be a good idea to introduce Abilify rx to my daily drug ritual, She was wrong.
It was like being on coke or crack, drugs I do not like. Mania. Nothing could bring me down,not atavan, klonopin,thorazine and finally massive amounts of haldol. The thing no one says about mania is how boring and lonely it is. You're the one up so there is no one to talk to, your frame of mind is not condusive to reading or watching TV. And there is nothing to do.
Wow thorazine or haldol would have me comatose. I lose myself in video games when I can't sleep. I doubt it compares to your experience.
