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?

    Definetly about 3 days or so I was Nightshift in a supermarket and sometimes during heatwaves I just spent entire days trying to sleep and failing.

    Apart from feeling awful I did start seeing things like thinking birds were flying over the aisle I was stocking and similar small things so not recommended really.

    Aproximately 80 hours, because of a power drink.

    Whatever it was in the mix, it kept me going for the better part of three days and three nights, plus a few extra hours.

    I went to work, went to night school and played Fallout, with no signs of fatigue. When it finally wore off, whatever it was fuelling me, I slept for 36 hours straight, woke up, showered and emptied the fridge, the pantry and everything else there was to eat available in the cupboards.

    That was a crazy event.
