I believe almost everyone likes to sleep, most especially the deprived professionals like me. We work hard that sometimes we tend to compromise our precious sleep, but whenever I get a chance I really spend my time sleeping.
So far the longest sleep I've had was 19 hours. I don't know how I reached that long. Maybe I was too tired that day. As far as I can remember I tried waking up for like 2 minutes and then back to sleep again.

It was probably when I came back to Germany from the US. I had gone home for Christmas the year I went to college there, and I picked up a cold. I took the train back to the airport, and my feet got really frozen on the train, not enough heat. I went home, it was evening, maybe 6 PM, and when I woke up it was dark out, and the clock said it was 6. I thought it was 6 AM. But there was loud talking in the kitchen, so I went and checked it out. It was 6 PM the next day and I had slept almost 24 hours.

There was one time where I think I slept like something like fifteen or sixteen hours. Maybe a bit more come to think about it, but in general, that was the amount of time that I was sleeping. I think I was really ill, with a bad case of the flu. Therefore, I just crashed like about Friday evening and woke up sometime in the later part of the afternoon on Saturday.
I am normally a light sleeper to say the least. The most minimal thing is all it takes to pull myself out of be and get to work. Still, the only times I remember sleeping a lot for the most part, is when I am really ill. There might have been a couple of times where my sleeping schedule was off and I had to sleep double to make up, but nothing is really coming on right now.

That 19 hour of sleep never happened again.
Maybe because I'm pregnant right now that's why I would always sleep whenever there's a chance but I never experienced that long sleep again. I would sometimes sleep for 2-3 hours and wake up for like another 5 hours and sleep again.

The longest I can ever recall I have ever slept was like 10 hours. I normally sleep anywhere between 4-8 hours and eight hours would be rare.

the longest i think i have is 12 hours. whenever its the weekend or i don't have classes that's my usual hours of sleep unless i am disturbed. because the style of our college is 4 weeks theory 4 weeks duty, i don't even get 8 hours of sleep so whenever i get my free time i get happy.

the longest sleep i've had lasted for around 24 hours,,, i came from camping for 3 days and lost all of my energy during those days setting up the camp and all, not to mention, all the tying, running and punishments we get for every wrong we did,,, ^^ so, when i came home after 3 days, i jumped off the bed and slept nonstop until the next day,,, ^^

I remembered when I was awake for like 30 hours because I need to finish a certain deadline, and then asked my mom to make sure that no one will bother me as I want to make up for my missed sleeping hours, I remembered my Mom who told me that I was 'out' for almost 18 hours. I can just imagine how worried they were at that time because that was the longest sleep that I just had. :)
