Re: What is the longest period of time that you\'ve ever slept for?
 

I generally always sleep about 3 hours a night, and take a couple short naps during the day. But when I was younger I had an interesting experience. I had never really recalled a dream up until I was about 20 years old. I remembered having them -- I even remembered some of the details when I woke up -- but it was all a blur after just a couple of minutes. Then I read an article about how B12 helped people remember their dreams -- so I went to the health store and picked up mega-doses of B12 and B Complex (which I was told I would need to make it work). It worked like a charm. It was so much fun that I slept for the next week.

43-46 hours. During HS I rountinely woke up at 6AM. I stayed up all night and went to some hot springs in the Northern Cascades at like 12 or 1 AM on saturday. I got back to my house around 9 AM on Saturday and slept until Monday morning for school.


edited to add: this is the only time I ever slept that long. My next longest is probably just under 20.

about 23 hours. detectives believe alchohol was involved.

My roomate in college did the 35-38 hour range a few times. We had gone to the movie theater and they were giving away samples of vitamin C candy that tasted more like candy than vitamin C. We caught one of the ushers slipping and he left his big sample bowl alone, so we dumped it into my friend's backpack.

For the next few days we just constantly ate vitamin C candies. Our dorm room was covered in the little wrappers.

My roomate would go on stretches during that week where he would just sleep for a couple days. It may have been longer than 35-38 hours because I think he had a couple stretches like that. It got so bad that we made a little sign that said "Caution: Hibernating Bear - Do Not Disturb" and hung it over his bed. He woke up while I was standing on his bed to hang it but just sort of mumbled and rolled over.

The times he did wake up it was to grab a handful of candies and play some video games and then he'd pass out again.

Someone later mentioned to us that vitamin C can make you drowsy. His sleep schedule made more sense after that.

So you would stay up for 27 hours and then sleep twice that long?

[/ QUOTE ]well, that has only happened once. I have stayed up oer 24 hours a few times, but usually I would only sleep around 12 hours after doing that. Me sleeping that much was definitely very strange for me.

14.5 hours...stayed up for 2 nights in a row, went to bed at 11 pm the third night and woke up at 1:30pm the next day. I'm not a big sleeper.

Re: What is the longest period of time that you\'ve ever slept for?
 

About 30 hours. Preceeded by an ~80 hour session of poker, and a quite dangerous 1 hour drive.

36-ish hours, stomach virus. No story.
