Keeping with the sleep theme

[Rainy day woman]

Humour me I have been in bed for 2 days with the flu and these boards are keeping my spirits up!

Anyone done a full 3 days without sleep? 2 days?

[Brizzle]

i've done 2 nights without sleep but is there really need for 3 threads?

[ampersand]

not very long, but will try and do the same this year

Good thread! I always wonder if any drug-crazed lunatics while at the festival go without sleep full-stop. Personally I like to sleep from about 6am to 9.30/10am. Glastonbury seems different to the normal world, in that your body can cope with extreme abuse and little sleep for 5 nights.

I think you should all be aiming for Pete Doherty's record of 9 days, plus waking up naked underneath a taxi.

Keef! Ah well, gives Pete something to aim for! But did he wake up naked under a taxi?

Actually, naked under a groupie would probably be better!

God no! As has been mentioned on other threads on here, I love my sleep. I don't sleep as much as I do at Glastonbury as I do at home (currently around 9 hours a night) but I will get at least 5 or 6 hours in a night. I need it.

I worked at Glasto last year and alternated between morning and afternoon shifts so i managed to get my sleep in. This year i'm just doing morning shifts, so i'll be getting up at 5.30ish and going to bed at 12-1ish? I might try to be a hero and go a full night without sleep.

at latitude a couple of years ago i think i got 8 hours sleep in the 4 nights i was there. i was a wreck by the monday. i got woken up by hippies at 5.30 on the sunday morning and then stayed up the whole of sunday night and then monday.

not that hardcore i guess, but it felt like it.

[Ashaz42]

Not at Glasto, but Reading last year, I didn't sleep on saturday or sunday night. Saturday because I was in a bad drug related way and hallucinating. A lot. (I have since quit drugs) and sunday night because I never do and I was stubborn. I got home on the monday and slept for 21 hours straight.

[popcornmaster]

from about 8/9 wed morning to about 3 am friday, pretty much sober, first time there was in awe felt the need to wander at all times

[Kyelo]

I got up at 8am on the Friday for T in the Park and never slept until after Kasabian on the Sunday night so about midnight. So thats what 2 days 16 hours non stop partying? I was dead all of Monday mind you!

last year i managed to go from Saturday morning all the way till i got home Monday night before i slept i dont sleep much in real life never mind at fests. I dont wait all year for stuff like this to then go and sleep . This year im gonna chill and do the 6am to 12pm sleep Thursday and Friday then im gonna really do my best to stay up and battle on from Friday till, well till i get home Monday my head is gonna fry BIG time but thats what i want!!!

I envy those people that can go right through the festival without sleep. I need to get some in each day, otherwise I don't function. I still stay up through the nights, I just get my sleep in during the morning and fit in an afternoon siesta.

2003 did from 8am Saturday to about 6am Monday. I was then ill for 3 days

[beergut100]

Don't think I slept in '87; I didn't even have a tent! That was when I was a young whippersnapper though. And I hitched there.

Nowadays, I've got a campervan and loads of home comforts; I generally get a few hours sleep most nights.

Only been once (last year), and I did Friday about 9am until about 7am Saturday, and then 10am to 6am-ish on the Sunday, and then again about 10am to half 4ish on the Monday morning (my friends MADE me go to bed, but I got up early for final stroll round the site). So over those 3 nights I got under 10 hours sleep... which isn't that impressive but I intend to repeat it, and do better this year.

At 7am at the stone circle no one believed I hadn't taken anything but a lot of cider... and I think I may have been one of the very few who genuinely hadn't. For me sleep is wasted time at Glastonbury, I know I will suffer afterwards, but there is nowhere else in the world where it is more worth it.

Met 2 girls in 94 that didn't have a tent, just large quantities of really good speed! By the time we met them on Saturday they were in a bad way, so we let them use our spare tent for the rest of the festival. The gits nicked all our beer on Sunday though and did a runner - didn't know it at the time when we bumped into them during the day - couldn't work out why they looked so freaked out by seeing us, until we got back and realised we'd been cleaned out!
