because this is my first post- you should know I try to do unbiased research and look at different perspectives/ways of thinking of that research.
At the same time, I am always happy to be corrected and learn something new and why it is why it is blah blah blah lol- go to my about me for more.
Typing style goes back & forth from "professional and scientific" to "lazy teenager with a lol" when necessary to digress hahah
(funny bc adderal made me think of the word digress, keep reading and you'll understand haahhah8))
How long can a person stay awake for?
Keeping yourself awake, even with immense amounts of Adderall IR
(which is still limited by tolerance barriers you'll create, aka less is more)
will still slowly transition to strung out insanity, but is possible for up to (apparently) 11 days.
ODDLY, sleeping, something enjoyable, cannot be forcibly maintained consciously.
aka There is nothing you can voluntarily do to keep yourself asleep while you are at that time asleep.
LASTLY, before you start reading, thought this provided a lil hook for readers to keep reading
during research, it became clear to me that there is little to no research on "longest" or "world record" time a person (research or not)
has stayed asleep without sedatives/medicine, or anything that could benefit sleep, but only articles for the opposite, longest time without sleep.
the world record holder for staying awake was up for 11 days w/o any stimulants.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_...record_holder)
(common-sense would first suspect that one massive all-out sleeping hibernation would be the best recovery)
but since I was a kid I noticed that over-sleeping made me feel worse rather than better -or at least not tired, but still not good.
The best and usual way it happens is you'll sleep for 10-15 hours, wake up (be awake and do you for however long u tryna), then if you want to fix your circadian rhythm (our organic internal time-clock), then getting back to bed at the next evening and sleep and probably at least 9 hours, depends on how much you like to go bad to bed when you wake up. (I will be the first one to say there are people that can sleep seemingly endlessly, but not consecutively.)
just sorta surprising because I have personally stayed up on binges as long as 78 hours, but once you finally sleep after that, more than 15 hours is simply just not necessary. Here's the weird thing, obviously this 3-day spree was Adderall-fueled, which completely destroyed my appetite and constantly threatened to dehydrate me to a desert even while carrying a camel bak (easier/faster to drink more) around. I would eat the bare minimum to not die and lose up 7-10lbs every 32 hours or so (estimate with weighing twice a day). All I consumed was protein shakes, fruit juice, water, fruit, and MAYBE a bite of chicken or a few cheezits.
I'll feel like my back is broken, It takes 3x as long to complete a full breath, my short-term memory is gone, but this is all from the lack of sleep, not food. Sure certain foods and more of them will help you feel and deal with frustration better, but the real actual kickers are from sleep deprivation.
So knowing this,
why my entire life, if I sleep beyond 16 hours, I wake up feeling literally almost ill. Remember the camel bak bottle? I also keep it by my bedside, so when I sleep long I always have water by my bed to drink. Sure, you could say then lack of food, nutrients maybe. But many times at the end of sprees after smoking so much to relax my anxiety I would finally randomly kick my appetite back on from munchies and pig out. Some on chips or whatever, but also on tons of fruit, whole-grain, and meat.
No matter what everytime I sleep this long I have one symptom no matter what, small webs of pain that shoot across usually just my right or left side of my temple region. nausea can sometimes occur, but I feel like that may be dehydration (remember, even if I hadn't ate much, humans can surive far longer w/o food than water).
Anyway, boring personal stories aside, I can tell my adderall is kicking in on this friday morning, and I have hyper focused and wrote a novel here
WHAT IM BASICALLY GETTING AT IS,
It seems like your body has a "sleep limit", unless sedated, that inhibits sleeping forever even if you constantly took melatonin you would just get sick and throw it up~
Think about it,
what if coma's are the result of our brain being traumatized and forgetting how to wake itself up. I hardly ever consider how simple it is that our body knows to wake itself up and not just stay in hibernation forever. Think about it, when you're sitting there in bed and can't sleep, you can't focus on sleeping because you know that NO MATTER WHAT you won't be conscious or self-aware once you fall asleep. Basically, you will never be able to think "Ah yes! Finally, I'm asleep. I've been trying forever." You just have your dream or not, I feel like we don't dream every night (but I may be wrong), and wake up and remember it (or not lol).
It's just laying there in bed -then waking up there in bed.
__________
8(at this point I have class in 3 hours then spring break starts for me,
but the adderall got me losing my train of thought, while simultaneously enabling me to be this deep lol
__________
Returning to my original curiosity and influences,
Since I was a young boy I remember noticing every time I got a huge overdose of excess sleep in one sitting,
I wake up feeling not horrible, but not good, not tired, but not energized. Just sorta puny and sick.
(average 8hr night you will go thru sleep cycle 4-5 times), maybe too many cycles decreases effectiveness/quality of cycles.
but the lesson is over-indulging
or too much of even the purest pleasures in life,
can lead to too much, burn(t) out, & eventually is boring.
maybe this is even the reasoning behind Gluttony.
Because I've never understood why God would say filling your belly isn't good, yeah because others are starving, but if everyone gets to eat then what is wrong with overindulging?
Well once you consider saving some life and plans for the future, you understand why moderation is the key to enjoying anything.
Any opinions?

Whether it's a world record or just adderall adventures,
Many people are quick to wonder "I can only imagine how long someone sleeps for after so long without rest to recover
Although you will recover by sleeping far longer than you normally do, it takes more than sleeping once to recover.
(common-sense would first suspect that one massive all-out sleeping hibernation would be the best recovery)
