The title is pretty self-explanotory. How long have you slept for in one go and why? I took a 14 hour trip up from Portsmouth in England up to my small Village inthe North East of Scotland, and that took me 12 hours, after not having slept for about 27 hours. We were staying in Annecy (this lake in SE france) and we got up about 6 in the morning to leave, got to Calis about 3-4 pm, caught the boat at 5, got out of Portsmouth at 7 after having to be stuck behind large queue of some commotion :guilty: and got home at about 9am. I then slept for about 18-19 hours flat out. So, how long have you lot slept for in one go?
 
I've had a few occasions where I've been awake for two or more days with no sleep, usually if I'm travelling like late last year I wen't all over West Europe. I drove out there, and flew back, when I go home I think I fell asleep before I landed on the bed, can't remember exactley how long i was asleep for but about 11-ish hours.
 
I slept for 20 hours one night (actually, it was all day), about 9-10 years ago, but there's a sordid story to go with my Rip van Winkle impression. I went to bed at 11pm, and woke up at 7pm the next day. I had no idea what day it was when I woke up.

I recall it was a "two-stop" sleep, but I was quite rested after that.
 
Probably 12 hours, I cant think of when I would have slept longer than that.
 
I think about 10 hours. The problem with me is I can never get enough sleep. When I want alot of sleep I don't get it, and when I don't want alot of sleep I do. :D

I need at least 8 hours or I feel completely knackered, but I can never sleep more than 10 hours no matter how late I stay up.

Thats a pretty hard hitting story man. I applaud you for admitting that to us all. 👍
 
I usually get 10 hours of sleep anyway if i don't have to do anything the next day. I got up at 11:40 today, and the day before it was 11:30. I could sleep longer, but the whole house is awake at that time, so i get no silence :(

No more of that junk since then. Of course, we might have a whole new generation of stuff like that, if this ad is anything to go by:

35 hours. Straight. Friday night at 8pm till 7am Sunday Morning.

Gotta love the Army.

The tale starts at wake up 0430 Monday morning. Bed time that night was 0100 the following morning (20 1/2 hours later). Wake up Tuesday morning, 0400 (3 hours of sleep). Then no more sleep until Friday 2000 hours. For a grand total of 88 straight hours.

The military forces you to function under different conditions. By the end, I wasn't right in the head, and it took me another week after the 35 hour sleep off to get back to near normal.

Then figure in the numerous sleepless night in college. My first semester on my second degree, I averaged 2 nights a week without sleep. My wife wonders why I sleep 4-5 hours a night.

Its a record, but the military makes you function differently.
 
Last year I went to the Phillipines to celebrate Christmas with the rest of my family, so we stayed up extremely late. That plus jetlag caused me to sleep about 30/35 hours straight.

What in the world were you training for? The only time I've ever heard of that sort of sleep deprivation being used in training is for special forces.

As for myself... 10 hours. I can't sleep more than that. Mind you, lately I have been sleeping much, much better, so if I got tired enough, I bet I could easily break that record. Normally I get 7-8 hours a night, and I can function on as little as 4 or 5 hours of sleep (coffee becomes my best friend on those days).
 
Probably something in the region of 18-20 hours. I often go without sleep or with little sleep and my sy sleep cycle is often reversed (waking up in the evening and going to sleep in the morning). Worst period of this would probably be second semester in 2nd year at uni.
 
Most I slept was 24 hours to 27 hours, since i had a really bad headache.
 
Longest I slept was after 11 hrs of working on buildin a deck. That night I slpet form 10 p.m. to 10 a.m. the next morning grand total of 12 hrs. I can't do that anymore cuz my mom will wake me up 9 every morning that I try to sleep in.
 
I had the flu one time during finals week, and I slept for 24 hours straight. That was fun (not)
 
21 hours, after being awake for 24 hours at New Years last year. Went to bed at midday on the 1st, woke up at 9am on the 2nd.
 
Longest for me is around 17 hours. It was the first time I had ridden mountain bike trails.... I rode for 6-7 hours... it about killed me. Came home, went to bed at around 7pm, woke up at a little after noon the next day. My dad was like wtf dude.

Whoops, but, I average 10 hours on weekends and 8-9 on schoolnights... even though it should be different.
 
12 hours is the longest I’ve slept straight through. A few weeks ago when I had the stomach flu, I slept for about 18 hours that day, but that wasn’t straight through.

It wasn't during training. I was a combat engineer in the Army, and worked with explosives, whilst is scary predicaments.
