What is the longest you've been awake without sleep? When and why did you do it? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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?

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.
