marf Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I didn't sleep for about 2 weeks when I had a manic episode. I couldn't stop pacing around my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Super lurker ultra V12 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I managed to stay awake for about 36 hours a few weeks ago, couldn't go any further because I walked past my bed and decided to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

posture Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Probably a little under 48 hours. I have a fucked sleeping schedule, pretty much all the time, so I try to stay up longer to "fix" it. This works sometimes. I usually see "shadow people" which is just my eyes playing tricks. I've heard sounds loop, my name being said, weird sounds and noises ect.

Not too long ago I sat in front of the computer having been up for fuck knows how long. I had worked all day for two days straight and been drinking inbetween. I just wouldn't go to sleep, and I glanced at the wall where my Oversteps poster hangs and I jump back in the chair. I saw the black shape as a hole and in matter of seconds it grew huge and felt like it was coming right at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chassis Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I sometimes see "people" in the corner of my eye even when I havent been up that long. Its more like something moving and I think someones there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not not slept for over 48, but I've had shadow people in my peripheral vision before when really tired. They're really unpleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest happycase Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I was in high school and I did 5 days with the aid of 48 ounces of coffee every morning before school and after as well. I was nodding in and out of micro-sleep every few seconds. I'd get to my first class and have no recollection of driving myself and four others to school. Then I'd have no idea how I got to my second class, etc. When you're at 3 days, you're sleeping half the day, anyway. I'm pretty sure I went into REM a few times without becoming unconscious of my environment. But for some reason it isnt' nourishing. As for hallucinating and whatnot, I was completely beyond registering anything that was happening in my experience. Some other entity was living my life.

I took melatonin the last two nights. I spent the evening in a pinball machine in las vegas. I was strapped to a roulette board by spaghetti, the X-men were having a battle with robots and a witch was selling burnt sausages. It was the most colorful thing. It mostly sounds like people here have accidentally stayed up a little too long. No conscious intentions never to sleep again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest abusivegeorge Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 167 hours. The very first time I withdrew from alcohol after 7 years of drinking non stop every single day. 9 hours in I started to hallucinate, I was seeing spiders covering my bed, mice on the ceiling, and I could hear them too. After about 36 hours everything in my room started to walk on stilts and all I could hear was a wasp in my bedroom, it was of course all in my head, but that fucking wasp stayed with me until the end of those 167 hours when I finally fell asleep. Of course these were withdrawal hallucinations which then started to couple with sleep deprivation hallucinations after 2 or 3 days. I could not even close my eyes, as soon as my eyelids shut, I would immediately hyper ventilate, like I had NO control over it, I simply could not shut my eyes, it's as if my body was scared to shut down and would go into some sort of shock to make me open my eyes again. I'm not sure how long 167 hours is but I'm sure is was about 6 or 7 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest abusivegeorge Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I was graced with the knowledge that I knew I was hallucinating, I'd heard of such things in the rooms of AA, when people went cold turkey after years of drinking. So I knew this was all fake, but yeah it was pretty disturbing, I had people with me too, I got threw it, basically, because I didn't have the choice not to.

Zephyr_Nova Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I'm at 41.5 hours right now, so far I still feel pretty normal. It's kind of disappointing actually. I should be fucking dreaming with my eyes open right now, but I'm just moderately tired, no hallucinations, no weird thoughts, nothing. I'm pleased I can still function this well on so little sleep, but I'd rather be trippin' balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're consisted of that and just make sure you feel normal afterwards. So nothing should be numbered here if that makes sense. It wont make sense if you're asleep but you have been awake and you feel normal afterwards. Just number it and have a lie down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sine Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Four days...could have been more, I kinda lost count after four. I went through a period of staying awake because I didnt wanna have nightmares.I found the only way I could make sure I didnt was falling into a deep sleep through sheer exhaustion.Thing is,I suffered from 'exploding head syndrome' which meant that everytime I dropped off or was about to I heard this huge explosion like I was in the centre of a bomb or something.Hard to explain.Also after the first two nights Id start to see things.Third night would bring audio hallucinations.Id hear whispering and kind of slithering noises. Today my sleep pattern is pretty erratic.I can sleep heavily for three hours then Im wide awake.If I stay in bed and try to get back to sleep Ill end up waking every hour (give or take ten minutes)until morning.
