I was awake 'bout 80 hours once, then I got bored and slept for one hour, after that I was bored and played computer and was up 20 hours more, then I got home and drank a BIG cup of coffee and went to bed! My experience is that after being up 60 h+ everything gets incredibly boring and you become slow minded and tired, even though it isn't very hard to stay awake during daytime.
So I guess my record is either 80 hours or 100 with one hour sleep.

It's funny, I was thinking of making a similar thread. I've even invented a word for being sleep deprived. "Slebit" is the number of hours of sleep you owe your body (sleep + debit). I don't know about other people but for me there's no cheating the sleep bank. If I borrow 2 hours of slebit one day, 3 the next, and 1 the next, my body will reclaim all six on the weekend.
A few other things I've noticed.
-I tend to fly off the handle a lot more easily if I'm sleep deprived. I've blown up like a volcano a few times in my life and each time I owed several hours of slebit.
-my memory during the days when I borrowed a lot of slebit is a lot fainter then when I get a good nights sleep. I totally believe that the main function of sleep is to augment your memories or learning that are important.
When I was younger I used to hate sleep because I thought it was a time-waster. Not any more

This is super frustrating. My sleep schedule is so messed up right now I don't think I am even allowed to call it a schedule anymore. I have got maybe 4-5 hours of sleep in the last 48 hours. But the funny thing is, I feel tired and everything like normal, but my eyelids aren't all droopy like I'm ready to fall asleep, which is handy for getting through classes.
When I started this thread, I sort of embraced my problem. But now it is turning into a huge pain. I just want a normal night's sleep at this point. I think I'm becoming an insomniac. But that's a self-diagnosis so it probably isn't right.
I always thought it could be cool to be an insomniac. I thought, think of all the extra time you would have to get things done! Reality sure is a punch in the nose....
What's so funny, Consis?

btw Wolfman, if you're willing to try a home remedy for your insomnia, try eating some fresh spinach at the same time as tomatoes.
folic acid + glutamic acid = sleep (for some)

@FriendofGunnar
Unfortunately I don't have access to fresh anything most of the time, so that wouldn't work.
On a positive note, I got about 12 hours of sleep last night. As long as I stay in some sort of a routine, I think I might be ok.
Mvas, every time I come back on here, no matter how short a time, you change your avatar. So what's the problem with me changing mine?

You're hardly ever on here, though. And I'm intending to use this one for a long time.

What's wrong with a little change? After more than 6 years I think it's ok to change it.
If I were you I wouldn't change yours either.

If I don't sleep 10-11 hours, I feel like ****.
Actually tiresome, and getting up after "normal" 7-8 hours of sleep is horrifying. Can't get out of bed 
My mate sleeps only 5 hours per day. Now that's something. His day is 6 hours longer than mine. So in fact, if we live the same age, his life will feel ~ 50% longer

Yeah, but most likely he would die some time before you

To be honest, I would never take part in such experiments because they do harm to health. This is apparent. But there is another difficult thing. What do you think about [url=https://minimumviablefitness.com/sports-nutrition/premier-protein-powder/]Bill Myers[/url] Premier protein powder? Is it healthy enough? I want to improve my body but I am afraid to damage it

I was awake almost 100% of 16 days.
Things happen. The mind for most probably changes.
