How did you manage that? I would fall asleep well before that point.

I would have assumed that would be impossible without the use of drugs.

U didn't sleep at all? Not even for 5 or 10 minutes?
I'm asking because my Aunt swears she doesn't sleep, but she will nod off for 5 or 10 minutes. Which in my book is sleeping. |

I pulled a three-day+ no-sleep studyfest in college (with lots of NoDoze) and at the end of it was hallucinating. But I aced that stupid chemistry final! And
saw alien elephants dancing all around me.

I was up before 7AM on Friday morning, ran errands, did a bunch of shit, headed into NYC to see my favorite New Orleans band play their last night of their
October residency. My cousin and his wife came with me and then dropped me at Newark Airport for a 7AM flight yesterday to New Orleans for a wedding. Every
time I was just about to drift off, the loud kids in the terminal or the child on the plane would start screaming. Or they would make an overhead announcement.
Got to my friend's place (he actually isn't here, I'm just crashing at his place) and they were doing work on the house next door so I couldn't
nap before the 3PM wedding at the St. Louis Cathedral. After the ceremony was a second line parade around Jackson Square. In heels, NOT a good plan

I did about 36 hours once. I wasn't even tired at the end, and couldn't fall asleep when I did go to bed. I was going on vacation and we were leaving
at 3 am so I just didn't go to bed until the next day at like 3 in the morning.
When I got home from that vacation I slept like 14 hours though. |

Longest I ever did was 36 hours, which included a 12 hour nursing shift while I had the worst sinus infection of my life.
