What is the longest you've been awake without sleep? When and why did you do it? - eviltoast

So I kinda just realized I didn’t sleep for the past 24 hours. Noy sure if it’s the longest I’ve been awake, but probably of the top 5 longest. I’m dealing with depression so my sleep cycle have been fucked up. Got coffee I think around the 12th hour mark.

I’ve basically just been watching youtube videos, browsing lemmy. Googled random things.

Idk why, I guess I just wanted some dopamine boost from coffee and now I can’t sleep lmao. Maybe a bit of anxiety around certain recent political events.

I honestly am not sure if I’m actually awake or dreaming.

Anyways, what is the longest time you’ve been awake without sleep? When did it happen and why?

    About 70 hours, at that time in my life it was normal for me to go 24 hours or so without sleep because I was addicted to WoW.

    That time I realised I’d hit 30 and decided to see how long I could go without sleep.

    At somewhere after 60 hours I began hallucinating and became convinced that there were elephants inside the walls making them deform.
    That was the sign I needed to go to sleep, and I slept for almost 20 hours straight.
