The longest I've gone without sleep is seven days straight.
Its not that I don't feel tired, its just a powerful feeling of restlessness that won't let go. Eventually I get to the point where there is literally nothing left and pass-out.
Anyone got any experience in this?
Yep. I used to have the same thing. While I can go one night without sleep, I really get depleted now if it stretches out beyond that. So what I do is just not worry if I have one bad night of little or no sleep. I don't worry because I know I'll take a sleeping pill the next night. Ambien works for me (though you hear of people doing some pretty weird shit on it). This system alleviates the fretting about whether or not to take med for sleep. You just suck it up the first night and knock your ass out the next night.
