37 Hours Without Sleep

Sorry for my complete absence yesterday. I am sometimes struck by bouts of insomnia. Wednesday night was one of those nights, which meant I was completely a zombie yesterday. I spent 100% of the day here:



Unfortunately, the insomnia continued until I finally broke down and took a Nyquil at 10pm last night. I then fell into a coma-type state until 7 am when Ryan had to wake me up. I'm still groggy today.

Yesterday, I pouched eggs for the first time ever. This is what you do when you are in a state of hysterical non-sleepness? you ask.

Obviously.



I managed to throw myself together a decent lunch around 1pm.



By the time Ryan got home, I had reached a new level of delirium. He took one look at me and said, "Lay down. I'll make dinner." No problem, buddy.

He threw together a classic boy dinner.





Any dinner you don't have too cook tastes amazing! :)

  2. 37 hours.. that's crazy! :|

    What's the longest you've gone without sleep? Probably 24 or something like that, not sure!
    What do you do when you can't sleep? I used to get really stressed and desperate when I had insomnia. Nowadays I browse the internet, watch tv shows, read, whatever. :)
    How many hours do you aim for each night? About 7!

  3. Ugh, that's the worst! I went 40ish hours without sleep when I came back from Korea between leaving my apartment at 6am, multiple layovers and finally arriving back in DC. I aim for 8 hours a night.

  4. What's the longest you've gone without sleep? Probably right around 36 hours. We decided to hang out with the other volunteers and celebrate Jessie's birthday on a party bus in Panama City. We got off the bus at 4:00Am went to the bus terminal and waited to get on a bus then made it to our house around noon. Then we slept until dark which was particularly disapointing as we got up and didn't have electricty. So we just went back to bed and got up at 6am the next day.

    What do you do when you can't sleep? I take one Tylonal PM. In Panama I used to take one benadryl and drink a glass of wine. That will knock you out like nobody's business. It probably isn't healthy.

    How many hours do you aim for each night? If I had a physically demanding day I need about 9 hours of sleep. If I was at the desk all day I need 7-8 hours.

  5. What's the longest you've gone without sleep? The longest I have went without sleep was nearly two days. I was completely non functioning at this point!
    What do you do when you can't sleep? I am so lucky-I can always sleep! Give me a blanket and I could fall asleep under my desk.
    How many hours do you aim for each night? I go to bed around 11-1130pm and get up at 6am. I feel awesome with 7-8 hours, but typically it is 6.5.
