I’m ADHD (no autism afaik), very late diagnosis (47). The very longest I’ve stayed, pre-diagnosis, was about 42 hours. I wasn’t studying at the time so not terrible but not great either lol I fairly regularly go over 24 hours because I do on-call shifts once or twice a fortnight. It’s not a great experience and not the healthiest thing to do really.


This is good advice
Quite a while ago I was listening to a pod about sleep (Ologies: Somnology. Highly recommend Ologies in general!) and they were saying that even if you don’t sleep at all simply lying down and resting is beneficial. It’s not as good as proper sleep but it’s a lot better than staying up.
