The opposite of the Sleep Deprivation thread. How long have you slept for at one time?
I honestly don't remember ever sleeping more than 14 hours at a time. When at the hospital, sure, I couldn't really go anywhere outside of my bed but the bathroom, but I didn't sleep all that time I was in bed... More TV than is healthy for the human's lifetime, IMO.

I don't know. Maybe 13 hours some years ago after a Big Night Out (a Christian program for youth from 7pm at night to 5am in the morning).
But sleep is good. Oversleeping isn't but I haven't had much experience with it.

I had walking pneumonia once, and I'm thinkin' I slept all night, then all day, then all night again. When you have walking pneumonia, you're so weak you can barely move, so sleeping is the only comfortable thing to do. I woke up periodically to groan and roll over, but I always wound up falling asleep right away again.
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

I probably overdosed on sleep the most when I was sick once, and just drained of energy. I can't remember exactly, but I'm guessing the longest continous sleep was when I was really tired in the early afternoon, so went to sleep about 3PM, and woke up in the morning, maybe 9AM? So that's about 18 hours. Could have been longer; I don't know... I have had longer discontinous sleeps when I've been sick too.
Unfortunately sleep overdoses don't happen frequently enough these days...

One time when I was sick, I got around 16-18 hours of sleep--I took a nap that day, woke up for about 15 minutes (probably to eat or something), then went back to bed and woke up late the next morning.

hmm...maybe 24 hours...probably a bit less. I think it was on a Saturday after one of the days I was extremely sleep deprived.

oooh yeah. One time I got sick... the day I was charged to move out a cabinful of luggage to a bus a third of a mile a way. I didn't tell anyone till I ran out of energy and kinda fell down some stairs. Then I slept the whole way home and had to sleep outside till my parents were able to pick me up from school, then slept another 10 hours before drinking a little water and then sleeping another 10. That was a bad flu season for me.

I think the longest I've ever slept was roughly 12 hours, but I can't stay asleep for very long (usually I wake up after 6-7 hours), so I musta been wiped.

There are no more heroes any more they all died in the night that the world fell into darknes; and good men are trampled down into the dirt never to be seen again.
