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?
I was in labor for 40 hours, so probably that. Then at the end of it I had a baby that didn’t sleep either.
This happened to my wife, almost the exact same amount of time. They decided to induce labor. She should have just asked for the c-section right away. Worst part was this was during the early days of Covid. The hospital policy was that once I was at the hospital I was not allowed to leave. I had to stay in the room with her and our child for an additional 3 days otherwise I could not come back. No visitors allowed either, which was actually kind of nice tbh.
We live far away from family so it was just us and a doula with us in the hospital. I wasn’t even induced, just my labor (but the epidural really slowed any progress I had made). I was probably close to a C-section, I pushed for 3.5 hours and I don’t think I could’ve done much more.
