How can you stand to sleep for 20 hours straight?

[SaltBoy]

My roommate slept all night and all day yesterday. He's 32 years old.

WHAT IN THE !@%! IS HE THINKING?!

 

[Mill]

I hate life if I sleep all damn day.

My personal record is 17 hours once last year after staying up 2 days studying for a test/playing games for breaks.

20 hours ? wow, I think 12 is my record and that was only after surgery and a demerol pump

 

[Koing]

wow 20hrs is LONG to sleep!

I've only slept about 14 or maybe 15hrs MAX. Never 20hrs though!!!

 

[NeoMadHatter]

he must be extremely well rested for something. maybe some rip van winkle action.

2 words - clinical depression.

 

[Mookow]

my personal best was 16 hours, but that was after a drug interaction with my allergy medicine.

On a normal weekend what would he normally do? If it amounts to nothing then sleeping might be the best bet. 😉

 

[bonk102]

try it sometime, then get back to me

<< 2 words - clinical depression. >>



Most likely. I'm worried about the guy... 🙁

You can't. Unless you're in space--since there's no gravity, there's no perception of "laying down" so you could sleep standing up with respect to the bottom of the orbiter (or the Earth) for 20 hours with no problems. Excepty you'll probably groggy and stiff when you wake up.

My gf's horse sleeps standing up, but I don't think he sleeps for 20 hours. In fact, he's so high-strung (ex-racing thoroughbred) I'd bet the guy only sleeps about 3 hours at a time.

 

[yobarman]

wow that'd be nice to be able to sleep for 20 hours straight...mmmm, sweet sweet sleep.

They don't call me Radio Shack for nothing.
You got questions, we got answers
(And it's rarely the answer you were looking for).

 

[Bignate603]

I've slept 19 after staying up for about 36 hours, 3 swim practices (about 12 miles total) and a lan party.

 

[Eli]

[ChinamanatNCSU]

My record's 23. Pulled an all nighter the night before to cram for a test, took a "nap" at 6 in the afternoon, woke up at 5 the next day wondering wtf happened to my weekend.

 

[GasX]

The closest I have come to that is after taking valium.

Boy, was I a ball of energy when I woke up...
