40+ Hours awake? (how long have you stayed up at one time?)
Last Dinosaur:
My sleeping patterns have been pretty dang bizarre ever since I started working nights three months ago. Last week I was up for almost forty-eight hours; I woke up at six in the evening on Monday and finally crashed at around five-thirty on Wednesday for a good fourteen or so hours. According to my roomies, I began laughing uncontrollably shortly before I finally hit the sack! I... honestly don't have much of a recollection, truth be told.

Something like 41 or 42 hours. Woke up at 8 in the morning in NYC the day before I was to leave, and couldn't sleep that night because of being scared I'd miss my noon flight the next day haha. Didn't nap on the planes, and went to bed at one or two in the morning the next day (or the day after, I suppose)
I'm not an insomniac or anything close.. I'm one of those people that can fall asleep anywhere at any time in 5 minutes and basically command myself to sleep. I'm also a super heavy sleeper, and never wake up in the middle of the night. I guess traveling just doesn't agree with me :laugh:

I was once told at 5pm that some visitors were coming the next morning (with a view to buying the company), and that I was to attach this dual-tractor three-head dot-matrix printer made by the visitors to my computer, and have a driver for my operating system (this was in the 1970s, and I'd written it myself in proper assembly language) and a demo program working for them to see when they arrived at 9am. I did, and they ignored it. I simply didn't go home that night, so I suppose I went 40 hours in all.

I used to suffer from horrible insomnia, so I'd stay up for 60+ hours. But in the last year, it's only 48.

I get insomina, but that's nothing compared to the time I drove from the east coast to the west coast of the US without stopping to sleep.
