Hey Pandas, What Is The Longest Time You Have Ever Gone Without Sleep And What Were The Circumstances? (Closed)

I have had issues with sleep in the past, so I am curious about your experiences.

#1

1 and a half weeks.
Symptoms ranged from confusion to absent seizures. Lack of coordination to falling over. Mumbling to talking total nonsense. False memories to hallucinations. Trembling to total collapse.
Not to mention the overwhelming irritation and anger towards others.

Final score:

1point

#2

I don't get tired very often so every time my family goes to bed I sneak downstairs and sit by a window. I don't remember my longest time but I know it was a while.

Final score:

0points

#3

I went without sleep for over a week. My doctor accidentally caused me to steroid poisoning and the steroids made me sick and kept me from sleeping. The only reason I found out that something was wrong with me is because I went to a doctor's appointment with my uncle.

Final score:

0points

#4

37 hours. A family death and I was on bed rest for a medical thing. Lots of hallucinations and a weird humming in my head.

Final score:
