So I kinda just realized I didn't sleep for the past 24 hours. Noy sure if it's the longest I've been awake, but probably of the top 5 longest. I'm dealing with depression so my sleep cycle have been fucked up. Got coffee I think around the 12th hour mark.

I've basically just been watching youtube videos, browsing lemmy. Googled random things.

Idk why, I guess I just wanted some dopamine boost from coffee and now I can't sleep lmao. Maybe a bit of anxiety around certain recent political events.

I honestly am not sure if I'm actually awake or dreaming.

Anyways, what is the longest time you've been awake without sleep? When did it happen and why?

But that's not the worst one for me. There was a time period where I didn't actually sleep for about a week maybe two. However, I can't be certain of how long it was because towards the end I started taking micronaps where I would be in the middle of a conversation and pause for like 20 seconds and it was obvious to other people that I had fallen asleep mid-sentence but then I would invariably wake back up again.

When that spell finally broke, I had just finished work and I got that little signal that says I'm about to fall asleep and I was so excited.

However, I was catching a ride with friends and I had to wait for them to bring me home and they had to go to the grocery store and I have vague staticky memories of fondling chicken breasts in an inappropriate manner and following behind other people way too close like the kind of close that would get me maced, and then running through the store telling every single person that I met that this bottle of beary bear brand syrup was my friend and he would protect us.

Entertaining after the fact, not fun to go through, 1/10 do not recommend.
