I`ve gone 36 hours without sleep but never by choice-usually it was because I couldn`t sleep and then had to get up and go to work. And even then, when I finally got home, though exhausted I would still find it hard to fall asleep. It`s like my body can`t handle transitions-incredibly difficult to fall asleep, incredibly difficult to wake up. I`ve always been amazed that there are actually people who can fall asleep for naps. Somehow the sleep/wake part of my brain is wired wrong. I mean, I have plenty of psychological "issues" but this sleep problem is what makes me think there has to also be something physiological going on, though I doubt there will be a solution for it in my lifetime. Of course pdocs always assume that if their meds don`t work it`s purely psychological. Whereas you`d never hear an oncologist say that if a patient doesn`t respond to their drugs it`s because of the patient`s deep seated need to have cancer. Cecilia
