The most I have been w/o sleep was 5 or 6 days when I first started hearing voices and seeing things. Not sure if it was 5 or 6, I was out of it. The only reason I got sleep was because my mom found me with my wrists cut and brought me to the hospital.
I wonder sometimes if I was born 100 years ago how many days would it have taken me to die from 0 sleep.
I went two and half days, which must have been about 60 hours. my pupils were pinpoint and I was concerned that I might die. so I went back to sleep and felt much better. haven’t pushed myself to stay up since
I tried to stay up because I was talking to this guy who said he’d been able to stay up for 11 days straight once. anyways I wanted to see what it was like, and hit the wall pretty quickly
Not too long, maybe 48 -72 hours. I tend to get weepy and emotional when I lose sleep for some reason LOL.
Four days. Went to ER.
11 days… that is nuts
I prolly should have went to the ER but I was definitely not thinking straight.
Three days.
1515
one day, i dont know how people can go longer than 2
After 20 hours without sleep I get so sleepy that I can’t stand up or keep my eyes open.
4 days I think. Depth perception was very hard, and I had a tunnel vision thing going on.
The third time I was hospitalized I was up for 5 days. Laid in the bed every night and saw the sun come up. I begged the staff for some Ambien but they wouldn’t give me any. They would just give me Remeron.
Now I take Lunesta and sleep well on it.
Idk maybe 3 days?
Usually my limit is 3 days. I went with near zero sleep for months when the illness started. Sometimes I’d find myself in a dream state and then wake up 1 minute after I became unconscious. Occasionally I’d sleep for longer than that during that time but i haven’t slept normally without a drug since 1992 when I first noticed that the voices in the wall and in the distance were in my head. Being young allowed me to survive the initial break with reality but I’m convinced i would have died from exhaustion in my 20’s if I didn’t start getting help 9 months later in 1993 as the voices were almost 24/7 by that time.
the longest i have gone without sleep is 5 days.
Me too while i was in hospital i didn’t sleep for 4 days.
It’s hard to say, at different times it wasn’t wasnt just symptoms on their own, it was speed. I rarely got more than the smallest amounts they we were willing to give or sell me, but even a small amount really ■■■■■■me up.
Three days and three nights. I got very, very psychotic… I had a bad case of the flu at the time too. And that did not help matters. As a matter of fact, I think that triggered it. I couldn’t sleep because my head was so congested. I ended up being hospitalized for a short period.
About two days. I started hallucinating.
I have gone 2 days probably, that was years ago, now I have a nap after being up 6 or 7 hours
