I stayed up one night to watch Wrestlemania 17 live, The Rock v Stone Cold for the title

Was on the vodka red bulls to keep me awake for it, it finished 5am and I had work at 9am.

I didn't bother going to bed, after lunch time it felt like I was hallucinating. Had the shakes and every time I looked at an excel spreadsheet felt like I was going to throw up.

Never did that again!

24 hours plus is common for me as I work some nights. My longest is probably somewhere over 50 - I spent over 47 hours completing a race plus getting to the start and photos/kit sorting at the end. I tried to get a kip on the first night and may have managed a few minutes.

I think about 72 hours, ish. The odd attempted nap but caffeine put those attempts to bed, ironically.

Third year deadlines and poor planning are to blame, I looked like death at the end, literally had people concerned, blurry vision etc.

Fantastically stupid in retrospect, slept for 24 hours straight to recover, then I was ill for a week.

It's funny how sleep deprivation affects you. Many ultra racers talk of hallucinations. My memory of my race includes a big section of track past an industrial site with orange sodium lamps glowing in the fog along a chain link fence topped with barbed wire. I picture this clearly every time I think of that night even though I know for a fact the track I was on was crossing the Yorkshire moors with not a single light in sight anywhere

Did the same on a different night shift, last shift, met my best friend went for brekkie, looking forward to a cuppa. Ended up with tea and coffee in the same mug.

I volunteered for an experiment in the army in the mid 80's to see how long a platoon could function without sleep.

Within 36 hours people were dozing off, hallucinations were frequent and total communication had broken down with 50 hours. It was called off then because people started to drop like flies.

If we were not doing such physical work and patrolling and such I think we could of all gone on for longer.

And I only spent 16 hours sleeping afterwards and was nice and refreshed for the two weeks leave we got from it

It was something approaching 2 days. I don't know the exact times but my head was in a funny place by the time I got some sleep. Although in my old job that was uncommon to do those hours when setting up a blank new location. Everyone else couldn't do their job until I'd set everything up and got it working stable for them first. So the pressure was always on in the first couple of days to get those critical services online as soon as possible.

I would often do a 24 hour or more shift when I was a chauffeur. Sleeping in the car when clients were enjoying there night out.

However this constant 5am starts in London and midnight finishing and driving back to Luton had a detrimental effect on my health.

Had to work it out, probably 36 hours plus on the National 3 peaks.

The physical effects weren’t actually too bad, but mentally it was definitely a strange experience with being totally alert and about to fall asleep in the same moment.

couple, us we him her.

Just under 4 day's when my mum was dying, sat at her bedside, only leaving to shower and change clothes.

Even after the end only slept for a couple of hours a night.

Two days after I came down with COVID extremely bad and was nearly a goner myself,one of the side effects I had was insomnia.

By the end of week 3 from mum's illness and death then my illness and being on the brink I was hallucinating some strange stuff.

Only sleeping in 5 - minute bursts every few hours.

To this day one of the effects of long covid is sporadic insomnia followed by intense bursts of exhaustion.

Ended up hallucinating by the weekend (yes, we stupidly worked in to that too) and had to call someone else in to finish off.

"Once did a 56 hour shift for a deadline (cos i worked for a shitty company that didn't seem to notice that two of us hadn't left the building, changed clothes and looked like zombies).

Ended up hallucinating by the weekend (yes, we stupidly worked in to that too) and had to call someone else in to finish off.

Turned up 10 minutes late on the Monday, got a bollocking for timekeeping

Had similar after getting home and having 90 minutes sleep, never gave my best to that company again

I'm not sure exactly but was around 38 hours possibly a little more.

But that's what having a baby does to you.... When your labour and birth is 37 hours long.

Over 40 for me

I was up early for an appointment, couldn't get back to sleep before my night shift, then went straight from my night shift to ibiza and stayed awake until about 9pm so my sleep pattern would be the right way around for the rest of my holiday

"I would often do a 24 hour or more shift when I was a chauffeur. Sleeping in the car when clients were enjoying there night out.

However this constant 5am starts in London and midnight finishing and driving back to Luton had a detrimental effect on my health.

"Had to work it out, probably 36 hours plus on the National 3 peaks.

The physical effects weren’t actually too bad, but mentally it was definitely a strange experience with being totally alert and about to fall asleep in the same moment. "

Yes they say sleep deprivation is like drinking a letter off vodka

"Just under 4 day's when my mum was dying, sat at her bedside, only leaving to shower and change clothes.

Even after the end only slept for a couple of hours a night.

Two days after I came down with COVID extremely bad and was nearly a goner myself,one of the side effects I had was insomnia.

By the end of week 3 from mum's illness and death then my illness and being on the brink I was hallucinating some strange stuff.

Only sleeping in 5 - minute bursts every few hours.

To this day one of the effects of long covid is sporadic insomnia followed by intense bursts of exhaustion."

Awww hugs so sorry to here that hopefully it gets better x

About 40 hours.. I don't remember what happened but I remember us shouting at my friend's younger sister to go back to bed then we realised it was 7am and we had been up all night. We then had school that day.

Due to work did about 45 hours and was feeling terrible by the end. It was pure adrenaline that was keeping me upright by the end and the crash once we stopped was terrible.
