I'm sensing a trend in these posts...
In my quest to not to talk about the dog everyday, I'm going to speak on a related subject: sleep deprivation. Last night, was one of three consecutive nights that Lauri and I both got about three hours of sleep. Tons of fun. It made me start to think though, how long have I gone without sleep in one stretch?
Recentlty, it's a toss up. When Lauri's appendix went on strike and had to be removed from the picket line (her cecum) it was my job to make all those important medical decisions. I think, when we tallied it up, that I went without any sort of rest for 36 hours straight. So that was a fun night. I think I recently did another 36'er when I went out to Ohio in April. I caught a red eye flight out there and had to change planes in Chicago. I left on Friday night and got in on Saturday morning. The woman who picked me up asked if I had eaten breakfast yet and I remember thinking "I just had dinner..... 16 hours ago". That was about 40 hours of awake time but I cheated and tried to sleep on a bench in O'Hare.
Question of the day: what's the longest you've ever been up?

In May 2006 I came home for Brandon and Missy's wedding. I flew back to Colorado Sunday afternoon, lay awake in bed all night, went to work at Starbucks at 4:30am, got off work at 8:30am, went home and studied for 2pm (i think) final, came home from final, studied for next final. Went to sleep that night around 7ish. So I was up from Sunday around 8am until Monday night at 7pm. So what's that? 35 hours or something. Then I got really sick and you guys all came and watched me graduate. That was a high stress week!
