Hours Without Sleep - What’s Your Record?
Saturday, March 29th, 2008Just a fun and useless post, between Thursday and Friday night, I ended up staying up straight a total of 44 hours without any sleep (maybe 30 minutes in a plane, but that was not really sleep).
During this time, I spoke for 90 minutes at a conference and I traveled across the country, I also wrote my entire 90 minute presentation from scratch…
I’m writing this after having had a great 8 hours of sleep, but honestly, last night had I wanted, I could have kept on going.
My record is 56 hours - I did that last September when our company launched a major product and we had a “melt down” to say the least.
I’ve heard before that when you stay up very long, you go through phases and that after a certain time you’re not actually tired any more - you get “focused” but maybe a bit slow. I think I can agree with that…
What about you? What’s the longest you’ve stayed up without any sleep?
