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?

Probably 36 hours, I worked alternating 12h shifts in an irregular schedule, I had worked a night shift, and before I left, my teamleader pulled me aside for a talk about my performance not being good enough.

That made it impossible to sleep and I spent my time cleaning my apartment until I got back to work in the evening again.

At the end of my second shift I took a few calls from Australia and as I am doing my best to support them I can feel myself starting to fall asleep in the middle of speaking.

I don't recommend staying awake for 36h straight.

Oh, and teamleader?

Don't have these talks when the person is between two night shifts, the bright days already make it harder to sleep!

I pulled a 36 hour straight shift (using some shenanigans involving a labor hire company who were in on it) when working security. I had a 12 hr shift 6am till 6pm. On NYE and on NYD well NOBODY wanted to work the night shift on New Years Eve so the boss of the labor hire company took the job and farmed it to me knowing I didnt have to leave site or travel. $50 an hour for 36 straight hours most of which was laptop gaming wasnt bad.

That would have been better, I had no games, and needed to handle IT support tickets as well as man the phones...
