Longest you have ever slept?

[Nathan-the-Axe]

For me, 52 hours. It was when I was dreadfully Ill with pneumonia and on the verge of death. ^_^

[DavenIII]

I think it was 24 hours, or close to it, I remember waking up and asking something about what was supposed to happen that day and my mother telling me it wasn't that day anymore it was the next day :P

Long time ago though I think i was like 10 or 11.

[Nosferatu]

15 hours, I think. I can't seem to sleep for any longer than that, despite any lack of sleep I may have.

[germanturkey]

i think i've slept for 19 hours. when i was sick.

[Tonyx35]

15 hours straight.

If I try and stay awake for 30 hours or more or if I get really sick.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...without being sick or in a state of comatose, the longest i've gone is 18 hours. easy.

drinking the night before + some sleeping aides = hibernation.

[Ken-Ohki]

I was awake for 36 hours once, afterwards I slept for 14 hours, that's gotta be the longest.

[Trefellin]

The longest I've stayed awake was between 32-35 hours. I'm not sure because I was effectively a zombie at the time.

The longest I've slept is... maybe 22-24 hours. I had the flu I think. There was another time that, except for a couple sorties, I stayed in bed for two days. I had a terrible fever. I got up to grab a sandwich and nearly blacked out in the kitchen.

When I have a fever, I get the weirdest hallucinations. One time, I thought there were tiny people hiding in the folds of my blanket and I couldn't sleep because they kept talking to me. Another time I thought I was a general and couldn't command my army against the British because I was so ill. I swear I could hear the cannonade.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

7 hours. Soluzar can vouch for this.

[Holy Knight]

Last summer, because of night-shift work and I just couldn't sleep, I once stayed up for 32 hours straight then slept for 6 hours then stayed up another 40 hours while working another night-shift. Luckily it was my day off then and I slept 12 hours.

[Soluzar]

7 hours. Soluzar can vouch for this.
Wait... are you saying you actually sleep? :O

For me, the longest is over 24 hours. I'm not sure exactly how long, but like Daven I pretty much missed a whole day. That was over a decade ago, I don't sleep quite so much anymore. I'm still capable of catching a good 12 hours worth of zzz when I'm especially tired, though. Other than that one time, which I'll say was 26 hours for the sake of pinning a number on it, I tend to break up the snoozing at least a little. What I mean to say is that if I'm going to get some extra sleep, I'll wake up for an hour here and there to at least drink something.

[Shiroiyuki]

The longest I've ever slept straight through? Without waking?

Hmm...

Probably 15 some odd hours. I get sick a lot and sleep it off, you know. No more than 15 hours at most. If I sleep too long I get sick and dizzy from dehydration.

[Soluzar]

If I sleep too long I get sick and dizzy from dehydration.
Exactly. Plus the headaches. That's why, if I intend to get extra sleep, I'd rather break it up into more manageable chunks. My body just seems to work that way these days.

[VidelCoolGirl]

When I was sick, probably like...12 hours...if thats counting without waking. If you mean waking, but not leaving bed and going back to sleep, at least 19 to 24.

[CrossboneGundam]

For me, 52 hours. It was when I was dreadfully Ill with pneumonia and on the verge of death. ^_^

How old are you, 70?

Who gets Pneumonia in this day and age? That is so early 20th century.

[Shiroiyuki]

How old are you, 70?

Who gets Pneumonia in this day and age? That is so early 20th century.

....uh, anyone can get a serious case of pneumonia. Not just the elderly *rolleyes*

[CrossboneGundam]

....uh, anyone can get a serious case of pneumonia. Not just the elderly *rolleyes*

Yeah, poor people.

LOL high five, high five!

[blackknight]

I think the most I've slept is 19 hours uninterrupted. If you count being in an entirely incoherent state from illness, I can raise that number to 26 hours when I had strep throat last September.

[Shiroiyuki]

Yeah, poor people.

LOL high five, high five!

I'm going to laugh when you get hit with it because of karma :lol:.

[CrossboneGundam]

I'm going to laugh when you get hit with it because of karma :lol:.

Good thing it doesn't exist.

[Trefellin]

Who gets Pneumonia in this day and age? That is so early 20th century.

Yeah, I know. Pneumonia is so old fashioned. Avian Influenza is where it's at. It's so modern and fashionable.

Crossbone, you bourgeois fap stain!

[CrossboneGundam]

Yeah, I know. Pneumonia is so old fashioned. Avian Influenza is where it's at. It's so modern and fashionable.

Crossbone, you bourgeois fap stain!

Too bad that's basically the same as the 1917 flu pandemic. Not that I'm surprised that you wouldn't know these things. Just because of who you are, not your position in your quaint little sub-arctic society.

[Nathan-the-Axe]

I was like six or seven when I had pneumonia, I caught it right after recovering from the flu. Talk about bad luck, and I have no clue how I got either of them. I live in Texas, and it doesn't get that cold down here.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

Isn't pnemuonia still the 6th bigest killer in the united states?

[Vaikyuko]

I've never slept longer than 9 hours and forty...seven minutes, if memory serves.

Any longer and I'd feel unhealthy, to be sure. Any less than 7 hours and I'm not happy at all.

[Anamin]

Never more than 10, I'm sure. I don't really get much unbroken sleep.

[Shiroiyuki]

Isn't pnemuonia still the 6th bigest killer in the united states?

Yeah, but that's okay; only the old and the poor die these days from pneumonia. They don't count, eh CBG?

[f2akid]

Another time I thought I was a general and couldn't command my army against the British because I was so ill. I swear I could hear the cannonade.

LOL Teff man, you're one funny guy when you're tired (or at least in an exhausted state). You would probably lose all sanity if you were to lick a few certain papers... :shifty: .

OK on topic: 16 hours. I had just broken up with my ex and wasn't over her and she called me out of the blue and asked me to meet her the next day. Next day I got stood up and waited around for around 3 hours (that's what happens I'm afraid). I went home and didn't know what to think, do, say or whatever so I layed on my bed at 7pm and woke up at 2pm-ish.

My excuse = I was stupid but I wouldn't have done it for ANY other girl.

[LOSTyears]

Not sick, about 9 hours. My body has a hard time going past 7 which is usually all I need though I normally get closer to 6 working graves. Even when I got food poisioning a few months back I only slept 8 and rolled around in my sweat for like 4 hours -_-;

I got a dreadful migraine when I was in my teens that I had to get a shot for and I was conked out for about a full 24 hours.

[Trefellin]

Too bad that's basically the same as the 1917 flu pandemic. Not that I'm surprised that you wouldn't know these things. Just because of who you are, not your position in your quaint little sub-arctic society.

Yes, but Avian Influenza has been prevalent in recent years. Also, it is commonly known as the 1918 flu pandemic.

Quaint? Dude, you live in Oregon. I live a short drive away from a city with a population that's, like, half of your entire state.

Anyway, perhaps I should have used the appropriate emoticon in my previous post. That would've made it much clearer that I wasn't being serious. My bad.

Been taking any acid or mushrooms lately? :naughty: ^_^

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I'd make sweet internet love to you, but my keyboard is already on its last legs.

[Trefellin]

I can't say I ever have. ^_^ Ozzy showed me that drugs are bad.



I'd make sweet internet love to you, but my keyboard is already on its last legs.

I can't figure out what "sweet internet love" is but I'll take that as a compliment.

[KatayokuのTenshi]

About... 36 hours? I was sort of in a coma for a bit there. No, really. -_-;

I once stayed awake for about 50 hours when I took some antihistamins for Hayfever. It was a case of the cure being worse than the disease.

Also it didn't cure it.

I can't figure out what "sweet internet love" is but I'll take that as a compliment.

Cybering?

[Shiroiyuki]

Cybering?

Nah, eHarmony.com told me I was incompatible and needed to buy more cats.

[Hara!]

20 or so hours.

[evilmunkeee]

Probably around 18 hours.

[Old Ape Face]

hmmm

From 12:00 am to around 1:30 pm. that is I attempt to go to bed at 12:00 but I don't really fall asleep till like 3:00 so I guess that make up for the few hours I gain in the morning/afternoon :P

[StandingAlone]

30 seconds. I have no time for sleep. Those damn zombies won't kill themselves.

[Old Ape Face]

I believe sleep is more important than whatever you have time for.

I don't care what Reidar says <_< Sleep is good.

[shinri]

26 hrs. It happened after coming home from my first overseas trip.

[Tuna]

Once, when I was seriously depressed, I slept for 3 days...maybe not the total 72 hours, but definitely around 60...I finally got up to go to the bathroom, drink some alcohol, then I went back to bed...
XD

[boomsnapclap]

20 hours when I was sick.
And when I wasn't... 14 hours.

Sleep the day awayyy.

[Leader Desslock]

Longest I've ever slept continuously without waking? Probably around 20 hours.

[Jia]

Being really sick - 4 days straight
Just normal sleeping maybe 24 hr or under. Nothing really wakes me up when I'm dead tired.

[Mag]

18 hours when I was working full time and going to school full time, and driving an hour both ways. ****ing brutal.

[CrossboneGundam]

Quaint? Dude, you live in Oregon. I live a short drive away from a city with a population that's, like, half of your entire state


Am I supposed to be impressed or intimidated or something? Oregon's population is 3 million, making the city you're bragging about 1.5 million. I guess that's pretty hardcore in a country with 1/10th the population of the US and even less relevance to global socio-economic affairs.

[Magami No ER]

Anyway, perhaps I should have used the appropriate emoticon in my previous post. That would've made it much clearer that I wasn't being serious. My bad.
Wouldn't have made a difference, you fed a troll. ;P

Longest I ever slept was 12 hours, after I got back from my Japan. I had the worst nightmares in recent memory during the last few hours of that slumber. >.<

[Xhalen]

Geez, I didn't realise that only 3 million people lived in Oregon. Must be pretty nice not smashing into people every 15 seconds.

[Levon]

Not counting hospital/sick, 17 hours.

[Ikari Warrior]

I can't remember the longest I was asleep, I was asleep the whole time...

[Trefellin]

Wow, I overestimated Oregon's population. Toronto's population is 2.5 million. Sorry, I should have said that I live a short drive away from a city with a population of 5/6 of your entire state.

My point is that every country has both urban centres and it's rural backwater hick communities.

Hey, at least people actually like Canadians! Am I right? And America does rely on Canadian natural resources.

[Nathan-the-Axe]

...Canada's not a country.

I say up the meds.

[Trefellin]

^ That's just not funny. :(

[Shiroiyuki]

^ That's just not funny. :(

I was helping! :O!

[Trefellin]

Hurting my feelings by saying that Canada isn't really a country, how is that helping? :'(

[Nathan-the-Axe]

But it isn't. It's just a a territory of America, and we are so nice we let you 'pretend' that you are your own country.

[Trefellin]

If Canada isn't actually a country, why do we have our own splendidly moustached army? Huh, answer that one smart guy!

[taily]

^ I'm a carrot with a moustache, BTW.

[Nathan-the-Axe]

They have an army? Why?

[Leader Desslock]

^ To quell uprisings among the Secessionist Polar Bears.

[Hara!]

Canada is America's hat.

[Trefellin]

Canada is America's hat.

It's pretty sad when a country as a whole is dumber than it's hat. :lol:

[Nathan-the-Axe]

They are our thinking cap.

[Sora N]

The longest I have slept was 10 hours when I was really sick a year ago…I try not to sleep pass 8 hours because I get really bad headaches if I do plus I feel very fatigued the rest of the day.

[Trefellin]

They are our thinking cap.

Oh yeah well... um... you bastard, how the hell am I supposed to think up a comeback for that? Fine, you win...

[Nathan-the-Axe]

Man you guys never sleep. I have slept over 10 hours today alone, but I am sick with a minor cold. Good excuse to sit around watching anime all day.

[Hara!]

95% of Canadians live a few miles from the US border.

It's like America is a giant penis, and Canada is Christina Aguilera.

[Caster13]

Now that's just racist, We're not all like Bush <_<

also I think the 21st century was the death of anything intelligent the USA has ever accomplished in the mass media/politics/world order. I'll admit we are the kings and queens of the dumbasses when it comes to getting things done and new **** made. But hell we know how to live too you know <_< even though our beer tastes like piss.

I think we lost our balls too back in 911

That's right. They were a pretty hat.

Why is this thread still open? One O-T post per page can't be good...

They've made the best beer in North America? :huh: Next to Samuel Adams?
They play amazing hokey tournaments?

I don't sleep, I just close my eyes and open them 10 hours later.

[Bernard_Monsha]

They've made the best beer in North America?


No Canadian beer is very similar to Icelandic beer. No flavor, over carbonated and light on the alcohol. I think they may have improved some by stealing the idea for microbreweries from the US but they still do not make beer anywhere near as good as as US breweries. Of course the benchmark of beer is in Belgium, no country even comes close to them beer wise.

I once slept for 16 hours.

[Tidusauron12]

The latest I've slept is probably 10 hours.

Now a days I only get 5-7 hours of sleep a day.

[ThePhillyFlash]

Let's see, hmm....six, maybe seven hours, and that's a stretch for me, thanks to twenty years of service in the Navy which permently screwed up my biological clock. These days, five hours is pretty much my max.

[FizzySid]

Woooooow... A couple of years ago when I had like, gastric flu or something, I slept for 20 hours straight...

Nowadays I sleep for about 6-8, depending on what I have to do the next day.

[J.Mizuno]

28 hours...i was in the hospital for phemonia

[RecentMidget]

12 hours on the weekends

[SaMaster14]

I have never been extremely sick or anything of the sort, but probably just because I was tired, I probably slept 13 or 14 hours straight once or twice.

[Anamin]

ROFL! :lol: :lol:

[Nakey]

i think the longest i've slept is about 16H. can't remember why though

[fujyoshi]

probably 9 hours or something

[superplough]

Not long, I'm not a good sleeper. The longest I can think of would be 11 hours. Bu that's rare, it's usually more like 6.

[fujyoshi]

yea I usually get normal sleep like 7 or 8 hours of sleep usually nothing more then that

[Soluzar]

Of course the benchmark of beer is in Belgium, no country even comes close to them beer wise.
Have you ever tried a Czech beer? I took a vacation there last year, and I swear I've never tasted anything even remotely as delicious as the local brew, Pilsner Urquell. It redefined my idea of good tasting beer.

[Jon]

Not real sure about the beer thing but last year when I went to Mexico I was addicted to some pepsi product called Jarritos...BEST ORANGE DRINK EVER.

Skinny bottle though
http://www.novamex.com/product_images/jarritos_mandarina.gif

[tenshi_a]

I agree with Bernard, if only for Leffe Blonde (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leffe) :wub: Hoegaarden's not bad either, though I generally prefer traditional English beers at the moment (e.g. various Badger Ales (http://www.hall-woodhouse.co.uk/beers/badgerales/index.asp)).

BTW I'm not very good at sleeping for long periods. I usually sleep about 7 hours at night.... though I may spend the entire weekend sleeping on-and-off sometimes, never really being totally awake, but never sleeping for more than about 4-5 hours at a time.

My body clock wasn't made for 24 hour days, it seems.
