Longest time in bed?
 

Sleeping that is. :D

I've just finished a stretch of 6, twelve and a half hour night shifts at work. They have to be, without doubt the worst shifts I've ever worked.

I am exhausted. Physically, mentally and emotionally.

I have two weeks off now, and I just don't see myself getting out of bed for the forseeable future.

What's the longest you've been in bed for?

About 16 hours for me, after being up for 56 hours.

Re: Longest time in bed?

I presume you're talking about "in bed, asleep"? Not recouperating following major bowel surgery for instance?

Re: Longest time in bed?
 

Bit worried about which NHS Trust permits a 75 hour week.
Clearly illegal under WTD.:D

Re: Longest time in bed?
 

nearly a full 48hrs for me.

Came back from a rave at about 9am on a saturday morning, kinda recall my mum comming in and asking if i planned to get up at all (yes this was many years back when i lived at home) and then getting up to be greeted with...
"you must be hungry or thirsty by now" and when enquired why and thought it was only saturday night i was told its sunday night!!!

Woohoo, i love sleep, me zzzzzzzzzzzz

Re: Longest time in bed?
 

Clearly a VERY long time ago. Closer to 50 now eh zig!

Re: Longest time in bed?
 

Yes. "in bed, asleep".

Technically,6 shifts over two weeks.

Back end of week one, and top end of week two.

Re: Longest time in bed?
 

Well about 18 hours after getting back from Canada one time.

Re: Longest time in bed?
 

D'oh!!!
thanks dubby, fixed it now :lol:

Re: Longest time in bed?
 

Have you been drinking.

Re: Longest time in bed?
 

9 weeks on traction:)

Re: Longest time in bed?
 

Nah, you intoxicate me enough ;)

Re: Longest time in bed?
 

32 hours awake drinking from hong kong to sydney left me in bed for a solid 24 hours. Slept through the cleaner hoovering the room too :)

Re: Longest time in bed?
 

I think 5 days after I did my leg in... But I slept almost continously for 72 hours after the leeds festival one year- got up long enough to eat, do my insulin, go to the toilet, get a drink, sack out again. Nothing quite like 72 hours almost constantly awake and largely drunk followed by a riot followed by standing on a train for 8 hours to give a man a taste for unconsciousness.

I got a tempur mattress a couple of years back, and spend a lot of my time in bed now. Longest sleep about 14 hours, but after my cruciate op spent about three days solid in bed. Bliss!

Re: Longest time in bed?
 

I also bought a tempur mattress and it`s the comfiest thing I`ve ever slept on!!

My longest sleep was whilst working on A and E and being totally stressed out and unable to sleep. One of the doctors gave me a sleeping pill after ending a late shift.. I took the pill and went to bed bout midnight, I should`ve been up for an early shift the next day but slept thru the alarm and woke up at 11pm the following night!! I woke up to hear bout 7 messages on my answer machine asking me where the hell I was cos I hadn`t turned up for my shift :D

Re: Longest time in bed?
 

about 36 hours (not in bed but on the floor in the outhouse as thats where my mum & dad left me with a duvet) recovering from a all day / night drinking leaving party as I was going backpacking around the globe back in 1989...
missed my first flight :-(
benedictine.... bloody horrible medicine tasting stuff...

Re: Longest time in bed?
 

I thought i'd heard the tempur mattresses were really sweaty and a bit horrible?

Re: Longest time in bed?
 

My longest in bed is probably about 10 or 11 hours. Usually after a 5 day stint playing music and drinking in ireland with little to no sleep :(

Re: Longest time in bed?
 

My personal record is when I smashed up most of the carpal bones in my wrist, did it about 7, back from A&E about 10, was rather painful so drank a fair amount of whiskey as well as the codeine prescribed.
Went to bed at 11pm, woke up at 5pm.

Re: Longest time in bed?
 

Worked 15 days solid for about 16 hours a day, the last three nights I got about 3 hours sleep on each. During the days I'd maybe have to drive about 350 miles each day and work on the tools for the rest of the time. I then collapsed into bed on Friday morning at about 11am. I woke up on Sunday at 7am for a pee, then lazed in bed reading because I was still too knackered to go down and cook something to eat. I eventually called my daughter and she drove 70 miles to cook for us both. That was the worst one, I regularly used to do those kinds of hours when I was self-employed, but boy, I needed that sleep.

3 years later I had a mini-stroke.

Re: Longest time in bed?
 

This thread actually makes me want to go to bed!

Re: Longest time in bed?
 

22 hours (give or take).

Came back from a 2 week excercise in the Brecon Beacons andd was absolutely spent. I think it took me about a week for my muscles to recover fully.

Ah the good ol' days! :rolleyes:

Re: Longest time in bed?
 

never long enough :rolleyes:

Re: Longest time in bed?
 

Close to 24 hours for me. After a week of winter climbing in Alpes and a drive back to Prague. That was continuous, uninterupted sleep with no toilet breaks etc. Awesome!
