Longest without sleep?
- Thread starter Nebulous
- Start date
I don't remember, somewhere along the third day I lost track of time.
But I was much younger then, and a bottle of Mountain Dew and a couple of multi-vitamins counted as a meal.

I was in hospital after breaking my leg. And by breaking, I mean my entire tib/fib shattering. I had to have my blood pressure, among other things, taken every hour, so I didn't have enough time to sleep.
The only thing that may have counted as sleep during that time were the ~3 hours under anesthetic while they reconstructed the bones and held them together with metal rods. Less than an hour after leaving theatre, they had me learning to walk again.
The worst part was that if I had been slightly stronger I wouldn't have been injured at all.
I was crossing the street and I looked the wrong way, I turned just in time to see a car coming at me. I jumped back, but not far enough, and the car went over my left foot, managing to brake enough that the car came to a halt on top of my toes. I fell backwards, and the stress from doing so is what half liquidated the inside of my leg. If I had stayed standing, I would've been able to walk off with no injuries whatsoever.

2 day without sleep, because I couldn't get to sleep.
@Dagger, ouch! Sorry to hear about you going through that 
I used to work graveyard overnight shift a long time ago and I would be up for days sometimes if I couldnt sleep during the day time and I had stuff going on.
