The Edge…
If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time?
When I saw this prompt question…
it brought back many memories of my past…
my drug days…
I went without much in those years…
including sleep…
I was reminded of the time I stayed awake for 18 days…
so I started thinking on it…
and googling…
and reading…
Apparently.. the Guinness World Record for staying awake is 11 days and 25 minutes…
so yeah…
I shattered that record…
but I’m guessing that guy didn’t have any help from stimulants lol…
Through more reading…
I learned that being awake 18 days is hanging right on the edge of death…
Guess I’m really blessed and fortunate…
because there were numerous times I would be awake around 10 days or more even.. I actually beat the world record many times… nothing to be proud of…
I am so grateful and thankful to God…
that I made it through those times…
and I am not the same today…
Death waited at the door…
but it did not win…
I walked back out of those days…
changed…
and still breathing…
I walked the line many times.. the edge…

Wow…. 18 days, that’s mind blowing.
How long did it take you to recover?
I did 72 hours straight writing my dissertation and that wiped me out for days. And never exceeded 48 since…
I always thought over ~12 days it would be biologically unviable.
Did you microsleep or suffer delirium?
That would have been an awesome if I imagine towards the end incoherent blog.
I have no significant first hand experience of drugs or intent to gain it – so genuinely curious.

Yeah it was a crazy time.. I do believe i encountered the microsleeping.. and my eyes played tricks on me many times.. I would have visual hallucinations.. but surprisingly.. my mind stayed sound for the most part.. when I finally went to sleep at the end of the 18 days.. I slept for like 3 days.. and it took me like a week to return to normal
