What is the longest you have gone without sleep?

[Joshua Farrell]

Really, how long would you say you have gone without sleep? That is, the longest time you spent awake before finally having to sleep?

For me, it would be about 4 days in length. Sufficient to say, I had a weird dream when I finally did fall asleep, because of lack of sleep for that long.

I want to joke and say 18 years since my daughter rarely slept when she was born and didn't really find sleep until she went away to college 😀

But seriously I've stayed up 24 hours before and hated it and it made me sick to my stomach.

Just over 48 hours and never do that again, Partly since I wake up at 5am to catch three flights and I never can get any sleep on aircrafts. From Tas to Sydney then to United Arab Emirates to London.

3 days once. But I was 23 at that time. So my body handled it pretty fine. I can't handle this now.

I think the older people get the more you can't handle the sleep.

I think the longest I went without sleep was probably around 36 hours but that was when I was younger and I could handle it. I have to have my sleep now.
