Sleep deprivation. The longest you've ever endured.

While I was at uni I worked on weekends at an electronics retail store. Woke up at 7am Sat morning, worked all day (all day running on my feet as it was the busiest day of the week). Finished at 6pm, they told me I could have the Sunday off. So , I went out drinking all night, I mean really getting on the sauce, got home at 7am, the following morning drunk as. Immediately I got a call from work saying I had to come in as 3 people called in sick. I told my boss I was very drunk and hadn't slept. He didn't care. When I arrived at work they had red bulls and lollies waiting for me. I was serving customers drunk and was again on my feet the whole day running around.

Got home and ended up going to bed 10pm that night...so that makes it around 40 hours, 2 days of work, a night out on the drink, dancing etc in between.

I remember when I put my head to rest that night, I couldn't sleep for about 1 hour such was the euphoric state of my body. I don't think there could have been a better feeling that the body could go through in that 1st hour when I went to bed.

BAMA62,

For me the longest without sleep was close to 4 days.

Infantry, 'Nam, '67-68. I remember one time the guys with the dogs showed up and that was one of the only nights we actually slept a few hours straight.

My father was on Guadalcanl in Ww II and they had two Indians off of a reservation that had a 'pet' wolf with them that they had raised. They told the other guys if anything happened to them they'd have to take care of that wolf.

It went uut during the night and and everey morning drug a dead oriental into the perimeter,
