A few times over 20 hours, from similar experiences from Pupik's, and at other times from very busy weeks after sleeping less than 5 hours per night for a few days. This ca also happen because my natural sleep cycle seems to be somewhere around a 26-28 hours cycle, so I often have trouble falling asleep.

Usually, I can easily sleep over 12 hours if I stay in bed, but I reach a point where I feel even more tired when I finally wake up after sleeping for too long.
 
I don't remember exactly, but I know it was over a complete day long.
 
If I sleep more than 10 hours for no good reason I get a headache and feel tired by early afternoon.

Does anyone else get that?
 
The longest I've ever slept straight-through must've been a little under 20 hours. I've skipped my share of nights. Like when you've been out and need to get up early (for exams or practice for example 👍 ), and it's just not worth it. Getting 2 to 3 hours of sleep is just more tiring in the long run for me, so I just stay awake.

For a grand total of 88 straight hours.

Amen to that!

The longest I've slept is probably 10-12 hours, most likely when I was sick (rare occurance). I usually sleep about 5-7 hrs, anything over that and I feel like crap when I wake up.

The longest I've stayed awake was 46 hrs when I was "two weeks a year"ing at Ft. Irwin in '00.
 
Probably about 15 hours(pure guesstimate). I think I do 12 hour sleep like three times a year, but will feel really crappy afterwards. Around 7-9 hours is perfect. I usually get around 5 hours a night, but I have a bad habit of poping in a DVD at 1 a.m. On those nights, I'd get around 3 hours. :guilty:

In a hospital? :lol:
 
I often put a DVD in late like that, then I wish it would hurry and finish by 3:00am.

ive done a wee stint of four days straight one winter when i was quite bored , that is asleep , no pissing , no watering , only slumber . My mouth was really hard and painfull to open after it and i recall feeling empty , bewildered as if ide completely desynched like Rip Van the Man .
u might,nt beleive me but its true , in fact , it may not be a record but it is my best memory ; '97 was actually the year . i tend to hibernate when my attention is neither required or fully engaged .
 
How the hell did you sleep for 83 days in a University?
 
17 hours and when somebody tried to wake me up, he almost couldn't. I'll never know how long I should heve slept if this person did wake me up. At least 2 hours longer, I guess.
 
I feel like I've overselpt if I ever sleep for more than 7 or 8 hours at a time.
 
The longest Ive ever slept is for 14 hours strait....either after doing a 4 day D of E gold final expedition or because of the lack of sleep in the line below...

The longest I havent slept is for 3 days strait.... doing corsework... I have never ever felt so bad or close to death than then.... I will never do it again.... and I probably shouldnt have driven strait after that aswell to school!!

I slept for 20 hours one night (actually, it was all day), about 9-10 years ago, but there's a sordid story to go with my Rip van Winkle impression. I went to bed at 11pm, and woke up at 7pm the next day. I had no idea what day it was when I woke up.

I recall it was a "two-stop" sleep, but I was quite rested after that.

Nice story. Hit home pretty hard.
I use to be one of those addicts you talk about. The longest i've been awake is 6 days (and yes, I went to work on 4 of them for 8 hours each time) thanks to about 5 or 6 different drugs in numerous quantities. Only slept about 16 hours after that though.
My record for the most amount of sleep is somewhere around 33 hours. Waking up from time to time to go to the washroom and/or to get a drink. Basically I fell asleep saturday night around 9 or 10 pm and work up monday morning around 6 am when my dad was getting up for work. I'll save you guys the story of what had happened the days before, because I really don't need anymore people thinking less of me then there already are.
