I have now been awake almost 200 hours straight and i am as i type preparing to go to the hospital, i no longer care if it is natural sleep or drug induced.

if i go any longer i believe i will burn up in some horrible sleep deprived act of self combustion.....

Oh Kris,

200 hours!? I would definitely get yourself to the ER. What is keeping you awake this long? Is it medication? Ever since I went on pain meds back in 2003, I have suffered insomnia, however, I usually go for anywhere from 24-48 hours before I finally get to sleep.

I pray that you finally get some much needed sleep and hope you have sweet dreams in the process!

Gentle Hugs,

Carrie

good luck. You can actually die from sleep deprivation so God willing they find the problem and fix it, going without sleep is nothing to take lightly..You are in my prayers. Mikey
