How often to you stay awake over 24 hours?

[dawnbug]

I don't think I've ever pulled a real all nighter. I've been up until 5 or 6am, but it wasn't for anything important, and it was on a weekend. I'm usually too on top of things to have to stay up all night to finish them at the last minute, and am a firm believer that for myself there's a point where more studying won't help and a good night's sleep is the best thing I can do for myself. Given this week's schedule, though, I wouldn't be surprised if I stay up really late a few nights and maybe pull an all-nighter. Mmm... papers and finals.

My record for staying up is 54 hours I think.

I stay up all night once in a while... I'll probably be going that tomorrow night actually.

I'm at 24 hours or so right now . I wish I could train my body to sleep 8 hours every 2 days, but realistically I'm much more effective 4 hours every day.

Sunday Through Thursday ... I usually go to sleep between 12 and 1:45, and I wake up by 7:45.
Friday and Saturday night ... I go to sleep between 2am and 9am, or don't sleep sometimes .... depending on what I'm up to.

Generally I need 6 hours to be productive at work, so that's the minimum I shoot for.

The poll has nothing to do with the thread topic.

And I don't think I've ever done that. I usually squeeze in at least a nap sometime in there.

Longest I have pulled is 44 hours, that was durring hurricane Rita evacuation. I was totaly incoherent and starting to hear things. I think if I had stayed awake any longer I would of started visiualy halucinating

 

[Mrfrog840]

i need to go to bed earlier and get up earlier. that is my problem

 

[otispunkmeyer]

6-9 hours of sleep every day during the week, usually go overboard on a saturday (day of rest)...this sat i went to bed at 1am....got up at near enough 1pm lol!

 

[dxkj]

With my current shift... Im up 32 hours one day a week and 36-40 hours another day a week

College enabled me to pretty much pull all-nighters on a whim.

Best spot is the main lounge in my dorm -_-.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Did it last week on Tuesday night pulling an all nighter and am currently in the middle of one

 

[The Green Bean]

gimme 4 to 6 hours of sleep and I'm fine. But, if there are a lot of 4 hour nights, then I'm sleeping in until at least 9am on Saturday.

haha, only till 9AM?

I guess if you went to bed at 9PM then it makes sense... I generally sleep about 12 hours Friday night after a long week, hoping to get my daily schedule a little better though, I'd like to get 8 hours of sleep a night

Sleep?

 

[SilentZero]

I sleep about 3-5 hours per day, and do at least one 24+ hour stretch once a week.

 

[Bozono]

I stay up 24hrs.+(usually about 36) once or twice a week.

 

[GuitarDaddy]

Knew a dude who stayed up for 8 straight days once. Of course he's dead now Speed kills!

 

[ts3433]

I don't think I've ever stayed up for 24 hours. During the week I'll often stay up till 11 or 1 and wake up at 6, and I'll sleep in on the weekends (this all changes during school breaks, though).

If I don't take melatonin, I'll stay up for days.

That stuff knocks you out in 20 min :thumbsup:

But I often stay up overnight to game, read, work, finish school stuff, which reminds me, I've got a speech to write. Thanks OP :thumbsup: Here's another sleepless night for me.

 

[Pliablemoose]

Every couple of weeks I pull a night shift & stay up 24 hours +, it sucks.

 

[RadioHead84]

During crunch time in school I do it once and a while to do a report. Or if I am playing online poker and a tourney goes till the wee hours of the morning.

 

[Xyo II]

Oh and I usually go to bed at about 2 a.m., sometimes around 5, and wake up at 7:30 every weekday, 5:30 on the weekends. I used to sleep 10 hours a day, now <5. I haven't had a problem with it yet.

 

[RossMAN]

Very rarely, maybe 5 times in my life and I just had my 31st birthday.

 

[Rock Hydra]

When I was younger, I used to. After I started working, then I couldn't or else I couldn't function well.
