Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ao the Overkitty" data-source="post: 1799877" data-attributes="member: 9758">I've gone about 48 hours without sleep a couple of times.  I've gone 24-36 hours without sleep a LOT more often. Most of those can be attributed to either long car rides while in my teens or paper writing & gaming sessions in my college days.  For the car rides, we'd often have long trips where we'd rotate drivers.  I used to have problems sleeping in cars and didn't have a license yet, so it was my job to keep the driver awake.  We'd get pretty loopy by the 20th hour of a 24-26 hour trip.Typically, I'm an 8-9 hour sleep kinda guy.  Anything more or less leaves me sleepy.  Caffeine perks me up for a very short amount of time (hour max).  Then it just leaves me very sluggish, but awake for another 6 or 7.  S'why I avoid it if at all possible.Oh yeah.  I have no clue what day of the week it is, most of the time.  I set my alarm this morning cause I had to be somewhere this afternoon and 'didn't want to deal with rush hour traffic.'  It wasn't until after I had gotten up that I realized there was no such traffic on a sunday.Also, there is the whole thing of understanding the printed schedule for the week.  At work, the schedule shows the days you're working as the days that most of your hours fall upon (ie the day you'll be clocking out on).  Messes with me, cause I don't consider it the next day until I have slept (I don't care if the sun is out, it is still monday, damnit!). Led to some weird conversations with coworkers trying to figure out just what day of the week we were talking about.</blockquote>
