Sleeping In

[cityhawk 12]

What inspired me to create this thread is that today I have slept the longest period than any other regular day in my life. I slept 12 hours from 12:58A.M. to 12:58P.M. (roughly that), and I wanted to see if anybody has ever slept longer than that. However, still post even if it's lower than mine.

I heard someone who slept for 19 years, in a coma. His name was Terry Wallis.

[hamsterTK 93]

i dont think ive slept more than 12 hours.

however, ive gone to bed at like 7am and gotten up at like 3 before which was crazy...

[GingerBlokey 30]

From about Midnight til 2pm, thats around 14 hours.

[DuskTrooper 316]

I did 15.5 hours a few nights back...

After round 2 of my root canal, I slept 14 hours straight, without moving.  Those are some majorly weird drugs they gave me.

[jacqulina 162]

i sleep no more than nine hours but thats rare its usually less

[Micah 16]

11 hours. In fact, it was just 2 months ago during summer. From 10pm to 9am.

My shortest? 3 hours. An airplane trip from America to Germany. The night was literally cut in half.

I managed to stay up for 24 hours from London to Bangkok.

I went to Grad Night at Universal in May. We got home at 6:30AM, and I slept until 5:00 that day.

Nothing beats riding Thunder Mountain at 3 AM in a daze.

Hmm...

The latest I can remember is that one night I had a major sleepover with a couple of friends, we didn't actually fall asleep until 5 in the morning(You know how us girls can be...talking, giggling, snacking on junkfood, etc.), and we woke up around 1pm that same day.

I'm not much of a heavy sleeper. When I wake up any later than 9am I feel like I've wasted my day.

I think I slept like 20 hours when I came home from thailand, I couldnt sleep on the plane at all and I was also feeling ill.

[Firebird 40]

I think the longest i've slept is 13 hours. After staying up for 2 days straight.

[Constantina 5]

2 days? That's tiring.

When I came home from school sick one day (a very bad bug was going around) I slept from around 4PM until 2/3PM the next day... I was very sick.

edit: \/ Ouch...

[callagrafx 3]

27 hours, after working 4 days & 4 nights solid without any sleep, getting a design job finished.

[Easy Bakes 253]

Does Surgrical recovery count?

If so 6 days for me.

if not 14 hours or so on a saturday after working 70 hours one week.

[Ratieya455 1]

My longest is about 15 hours, and my latest beginning-of-the-day was about 4:30PM. My roommate last year shattered both those records, when he got back from a long night of drinking at 6AM and woke up at 10PM.

lets See The day after a concussion 36 hrs thats right a day and half only reason I got up was to go to the bath room and then back to bed again still mostly asleep.

[s.i.X 13]

I've stayed up for about 46 hours before, and slept for about 21 hours after that.

My older brother goes to bed at 7:00 in the morning and wakes up at 5:00 in the evening and is still tired. He claims he works better if he is tired and he likes to watch re-runs in the middle of the night. 

For me, I function properly with 12 hours of sleep. Thats why school is not my thing.. if i dont get atleast 9-10 hours of sleep on school nights I get very grumpy at school. Not fun. 

The longest I've ever sleep in til is about 1:00 when I was younger. When I was in the hospital for my appendectomy for a week I constantly sleep all day. But I would have to wake up every 2 hours because they constantly were putting water through me( I was very dehydrated ) Which totally ruined my sleeping exprience.

Sleep is my favorite part of the day. =]

I was sleeping for about 12 hours a night on average (max 16, min 10) when I was on some medication that made me drowsy (NO KIDDING!!!) for a few weeks. I stopped taking it because it was ruining my life. lol. It worked other than that, but I found something else to take instead until the problem was resolved.

As far as not sleeping. I have done 3 hours on several occasions... once the night before an exam that I miraculously got 95% on... no I wasn't studying, I was hanging out with a friend. And another time when I was up at 8:00 am and outside all day until 9:00, then hung out until 7:00 am and worked the next day from 12-9... on 3 hours of sleep... then I stayed up until 2am again... and slept for about 15 hours. lol... stupid me!

There was this one time in the summer when I stayed up 40 straight hours and left for 30 hours. My mom thought I had died or something.

[Camaron 1]

My highest is about 15 hours, after really tiring days, though I have in the past cut it down to 1 hour because of travelling and all the rest. My average is about 10 hours.

Ive slept 12 hours a couple times, in my teenage years. Used to sleep like 9-10 hours a night back then. Now im much older (approaching 40), and I usually sleep 6-7 hours a night, and im not tired. On Sunday mornings I sleep 8 hours.

I did something similar with some friends of mine, but our experience was slightly different.  We were doing some "urban camping" (for a reason I won't bother explaining) and since these guy's dad was the manager of the apartment complex right next door, we ran a 100 foot extension cord from the building to our tent so we could power the Xbox, PS2, and the TV.   We all gamed till about two in the morning and then one of us went to bed, and I tried to, but it was too cold outside.  (There was a cold front that the weatherman had predicted wouldn't move in until a little after 7 AM and it there by 1 AM).  The one guy pulled his blanket up over his head so that he looked like a dead body in a morgue, and I had mine wrapped around me like an Eskimo or something like that.  (It was cold enough that he and I both thought about what we could do to prevent the chance of getting frostbite that night).  I did finally make it to sleep at about 4 AM, but it was sort of come and go until 6 AM, when I got up after finding out that I could see my breath in the tent.  About an hour later, everyone was up and we played video games again.  When it was all said and done, we had a pretty good laugh about that night and the morning as we were playing video games and totally wrapped up to stay warm.  (And did I mention that it was cold - about 4 degrees Celsius).

The most amount of time I have ever slept consecutively was probably about 12 or 13 hours.  Not that terrribly long ago though, I did spend 22 out of 48 hours sleeping.

I 've just arrived from a snow covered mountain calle d"el nevado del ruiz" (thursday) i slept form 1am friday to 7pm friday, lol

[Rymac91 15]

14 hours and about 40 minutes. I can't figure out what my body wants...since I always sleep 3 hours more on saturday to the averge of what I sleept that week. For example..if I have a averge sleeptime of 6 hours...I will sleep 9 hours on saturday...and if I sleep 11 hours averge then I sleep 14 hours...and I only did this once during summer vacation.

[MC6Ash 4]

well... I once slept from December 23, 2003 to well after then. I have no memory of ever waking up... actually... I don't have any memory from a month after then.
