I once, out of curiosity, decided to stay awake for longer than I normally do. I didn’t have any particular reason or goal—I just wanted to see what my body could endure with a couple of litres of coffee. And no 🧢 , it was way easier than I thought it would be…
I once didn’t sleep for 53 hours. AMA.

So I guess my question is you likely haven’t done drugs other than coffee?
How many hours did you sleep when you finally did go to sleep?
I once stayed awake for 42 hrs
For me the hr between 20 and 30 were hardest was it similar for you
Also after that I slept for around day iirc
How much did you slept
I stayed up for 48 hrs as well. Working full time as truck driver and full time college student during finals and no days off from work since i was paying for college outta pocket. No coffee either. I slept for 15 hrs after that.
Any microsleep? Waking dreams? Sensation of time distortion? I recall memory condensing so that. 48 hrs felt equivalent of 18 hrs. That odd mild fever feeling?
Me too, I was trying to get a baby outta me though so slightly different circumstances.
Stims abusers be like: rookie numbers
Did you have hallucinations?
Lol dude I have insomnia just ask next time
Did you ever tried speed, amphetamine or cocaine? Those are rookie numbers for regular users 😂
I feel like pretty much everyone has done this
53 hours is child’s play
When I was a teenager a read about people with insomnia that could go weeks without sleep so I tried it I managed to go 5 days without sleeping the first couple of days were difficult then on the third day I wasn’t tired anymore so I just stayed up all night playing video games until I unknowingly fell asleep and I only awoke because my brother rolled me over to get to the remote control for the tv that I slept on.What insured when I awoke was a series of panic attacks and I ended up in the ER I had stopped breathing when I fell asleep and only my brother moving me woke me.After 4 years of being on Paxil for the severe panic attacks had because of not breathing I can say with confidence DONT TRY THIS!
I once cold turkey’d off opioids and benzoes at once and I didn’t sleep for 14 days. Absolutely worst experience of my life…
laughs in bipolar
I once (recently) stayed awake for 96 hours, because I was in terrible pain and just couldn’t sleep. How long did you sleep for after and did you fall asleep easily?
Did that without any drugs or anything. Just found out you can trade in Warframe.
I would regularly pull anywhere between 24- 80h awake for a while because ✨️ addiction ✨️. Now I can barely stay up for 16h lmao don’t do that too often it’ll catch up to you in the long run
I used to smoke meth and stay up 7-8 days straight then sleep for like 24 hours then do it again.
I’m bi-polar and that’s just a bad week for me. I’m medicated and not doing lots of drugs so I’m a lot better these days but 3 nights then a few hours of fever dreams then another 2 nights without was not uncommon and I’ve gone longer than 3 nights before. Yeah I usually start talking to fairies once a bout of fever dreams (delirium tremors) has shaken me loose from reality.
I did this when I was like 17, got up to like 58 hours and then started ‘hallucinating’, in quotes because It wasn’t like when you’re on drugs. I was just sitting there and I was in a completely white void building a railroad with my mind lol. Then my roommate shook me asking wtf was wrong with me and I guess I was like, dreaming with my eyes open?
Did a literal week without sleep on adderall nbd.
People exaggerate the effects of sleep deprivation, its not that intense. I did not see anything or hear anything weird.
Did you take modafinil? Shit is wild.
