University of Mannheim.
I would appreciate any kind of
support and advice.
I'm not above reaching out to alumni

36 hours before a big academic meet in HS. Wound up falling asleep lying down on my face in the hallway of the team hotel. Woke up to someone kicking me to make sure I was still alive.
Man those were fun times.
About 40 in college. I went to bed finally at 6PM for a “nap” and woke up at 8PM the next day. Never forget my roommates reaction when I asked if we were getting dinner and they told me I had been asleep for like 24 hours 😂
44 hours… took a week to recover
About 3 days at Army Ranger school. Started hallucinating and seeing faces in the trees and imaginary dogs running past me lol. Good times/ absolutely miserable
I was waiting for someone with military / spec ops training to respond. Thank you for your service
I've never pulled an all nighter lol

Also around 36. Then crashed hard. Don’t think I could make it much further than that although I don’t drink caffeine.

39 while studying abroad - had a flight early AM and didn’t want to pay hotel to wake up at 3AM for an early flight
38 hours during a go live that went awry.

~55 hours.
That was at the tail end of a 3 month period in a long term project when I was working 100+ hour weeks and constantly running on 4-5 hours of sleep.
Not very long, but that's because I take periodic naps. I'll work for 10 hours, nap for 1 hour, work another 10, nap for 1, etc
17.....lol
54 hours. On mission off of country X. Hooyah.
36-40 hrs I was a single mom working full time while finishing my bachelors. My only time to study or get hw done was late at night. If I wound up staying up all night, I still had to get ready early, get my kid to school, work all day, then do dinner/bedtime etc. Every all nighter I’ve ever pulled was a 36+ hr one.
I’m a parent of 2 kids under 4 and one of the things I have learned is that parenting is one of the hardest jobs. And I’m just getting started!
Much respect to all the single parents out there grinding it out day after day and giving everything they’ve got to raise upstanding kids.
36.5 hrs
Low on energy, overate the whole day after waking up
49 hours once in high school. Ended up just passing out
~ 40 hours. Felt like I had a light buzz similar to drinking alcohol in the last 5-10 hrs of that 40.
More like an acid trip

42h
But the hardest I've gone was 4/60: slept 4h during the 60h. I've already sleep a little bit less than I should (avg 6h daily), but this was too much. That day I've decided that staying at this small boutique firm wasn't for me
😱😱 I can’t imagine using my brain if I haven’t slept well
About 30 hours. Got to the office in NYC before the sunrise, saw the sunset, saw another sunrise… Friday morning into Saturday morning. It would have been truly miserable, but I was working with my best friend in the company on something (completely useless as it turns out). His good company and us being a little slap happy at the end means that it is a rather fond memory now. (Won’t be doing that again any time soon though.)
Two days. Trust me it wasn’t by choice or partying. Ultimately went to the restroom and sat down for a moment and passed out for ten min. Lol.
