How long can you sleep/have you slept? v. Whaayoumean, whensday morning not mond....

I rarely ever sleep more than 8 hours unless I have benzos or alcohol in my system from the night before. Those 2 substances, benzos in particular, make me sleep for an extra 2-3 hours longer than I usually need or get. I know it doesn't seem like a lot for many, but I usually run on 6-7, sometimes 8, hours per night unless I'm really tired from a long night the day/night before and I rarely can just sleep any longer no matter how long I just lie in bed trying to catch a couple more hours. I think it has something to do with me feeling like I'm wasting my day if I sleep too late into it.

To answer the original question though, the longest sleep session I have is probably 12-13 hours which I believe happened when I was back in high school. I might have been sick or something, but I don't know for sure. I just remember waking up and being like "damn I can't believe I just slept for that long".

The longest I slept was 19 hours and then I woke up for a few hours... only to sleep for 17 more hours. I was using a lot at the time, couldn't sleep because of anxiety and what not... stayed up for days and finally crashed. I was still tired after I slept all those hours.
 
i dont think ive ever done more then ~18hours straight

ever

sleep typically eludes me

when i was young n first started takin benzos i could take a xanax bar pass out n not leave my bed til evening time the next day but i usually woke up before then i would just say fuck it n roll back over n go back to sleep


have gone 2-3 days with only 2-3 hours of sleep over the whole couple days but even then usually ~12hrs of sleep n i cant stay asleep any longer i just dont have much energy those next few days even after a good 12hrs

gone without sleep for longer periods during opiate WD but lack of sleep doesnt ever really seem to catch up with you in the form of a long recovery slumber when kickin
 
18 hours sounds about right, I've stayed awake for ~9 days though... I enjoyed it too until I became slightly crazy and slept it off for like 6 hours.
 
longest for me was around ~16-18 hours after a hard stimulant binge and putting long acting benzos in my body for the comedowns. I'd usually wake up and wonder where I was, what I did, and what day/time it was lol. I've lost entire weeks due to this behavior.
 
Like 24hrs or so when I quit amphetamines after a years long addiction. More than once I'm sure. I could just keep on eating and sleeping and sleeping and eating.
 
A full 16.9 oz water bottle filled of vodka around age 18. consumed in maybe an hour. not spectacular alcohol tolerance.

41 hours face down on the corner of a wooden desk. Followed by a 2 day migraine. First of only 1 or 2 migraines of my life. I believe it was 16.9 oz... unless it was when they were still 20oz... not a huge difference.

edit: 100 proof vodka
 
Close to 72 hours. The most recent time was when I got hit with food poisoning or something god-awful that meant I couldn't get or do my DOC, so a combo of the stuff the hospital gave me and the stuff I was taking to ward off WD (fistfuls of somebody else's pills) kept me down for 3 days, barring a few trips to the bathroom. I've done that 24+ hour marathon sleeping plenty of times when entering, negotiating, or struggling out of dopesickness though - the "can't get up even if there's an atom bomb" hits before the RLS, GI issues, etc. I am actually clean right now, barring some prescribed meds, and still managed to sleep for 34 hours this weekend, because I couldn't see any point in getting up. I presumed it was part of PAWS or just my system still being screwed up, but reading this thread has me concerned that maybe I should go to the damn doctor.

wow.. holy shit blue
 
Shit, I just did another 12 hour stint. I seesaw between thinking it's PAWS and thinking maybe all those years of opiate abuse masked something else, maybe my thyroid is messed up or something. Or maybe it's just depression and this stupid SSRI isn't doing a damn thing. I should probably go to the doctor while I still have insurance and now that nothing weird/unprescribed will turn up in my blood.
