3.5 days, no naps, no sleep
Longest you have gone with little or no sleep?
- Thread starter Lord Vutulaki
- Start date
On duty or training?
In Iraq. Best friend was killed, really gory gory situation. And we had to keep running patrols so when I wasn't out I was awake reading. I didn't want to go to sleep. By the 3rd night the darkness was playing tricks on me
Sorry about your best mate, only the good die young huh?
Yea, war is ugly. But ya, I don't recommend staying awake for that long. I think when I finally got to sleep i only slept for like 4 hours
Anyway may he RIP.
Man Ive had 3 hours sleep since Wednesday night its saturday night here 23:43 right now, wait I think Ive got that right, losing my marbles here but getting a good case of manic so Ive actually learnt some shit off the interwebs tonight for once....
-Since Thursday night, fucking losing it, had to use the desktop calendar to work that out lol
Lol get some sleep brother. I always find short like 3 or 4 hour naps make me feel great and I can go another day or so
Id sell my first born to the devil for some sleep now man, wide awake but tired if that makes sense?
Even the weed aint helping in fact its making me look up more random internet shit.
Ill be fine though, its Sunday tomorrow so I gut it out.
Yeah I hear ya. Its odd to think that scientists don't even know why people sleep with all the variations among species.
I remember reading that when orcas give birth the mother doesn't sleep for 3 weeks straight along with the baby whale. Then as the baby whale starts sleeping so does the mother and it resumes back to a normal sleep cycle.
its nutty stuff. I remember reading this Dana piece where he said sometimes he just forgets to sleep. Like hes playing blackjack for so long at the casinos all night that he comes home and its morning and hes still good to go.
i hear ya, middle of the night is quite peaceful to get some good work done.
yeah 3-4 hours here and there is not an issue but Donald has been doing this for decades hehe. That's insane how he can keep going all day like that for years and years. If he wins as president the dude would be just walking around the whitehouse in the dark with secret service following him around.
In his underwear. Drinking milk straight out of the carton. I can picture it so vividly... lolIf he wins as president the dude would be just walking around the whitehouse in the dark with secret service following him around.

72 hours with no sleep on detainee duty. My battle and i were falling asleep standing up. He actually fell over. Felt like i was drunk and tripping.
Well if you decide to do that again, I got a couch you can crash in London and Athens if you wanna avoid all the staying awake xD
That is extremely kind of you. You never know, maybe one day I will take you up on that.
Everyone's cool here in my book so that'd not even be an issue. It beats staying up in a foreign country, though both cities are relatively tourist friendly
I know a girl that lived in London but she was in Finland at the time I got there. I stayed with her after I got back from Greece and Turkey. One day I have to go back to Greece and go to some more Islands. I went to Kos and Chios. I loved it.Everyone's cool here in my book so that'd not even be an issue.

Great choice of places!
I'd avoid the party islands, though they can be fun for a one time thing as well. Best time I had would probably be Santorini, its a great place to take a special someone to.

I'm never not sleeping
I was close to 72 hours without sleep during reception for Basic Training at Ft. Sill. I fell asleep (involuntarily) while waiting in line for the hearing test. I took a few dudes with me to the ground. It was embarrassing and I was most definitely smoked for it.

Ahhh, you were that guy. We've all been that guy.
Woke up on a Thursday morning and drove 6 hours to Bristol, Tennessee. Pitched a tent in a cow field - don't worry, the cows were gone and they had cleared out all the patties. Didn't head home until Monday morning. 3 nights filled with hilarious non-stop shenanigans. I'm lucky if I got a total of 6 hours sleep on that trip.
Fuck ft sill, fuck it right in the ass
fuck that , i had a 50 hours stint once, i tried to drive, i started to see shit like another car on the highway, i would hit my brake like a mofo only to see there wasn't any car to start with, and alot of other shit, i just stopped at a gas station and took a nap i woke up about 7 hours later with my engine still running.
