Have on many occasions slept 12-15 hours after extended stints awake, but my record is unknown to me.
I once slept for basically a week, because I had what we now know was pancreatitis. I’d sleep, wake up to moan in agony/scream, and the fall back to sleep. I remember very little of it, other than that I could not eat. The moment food passed my throat I was in total agony, the best I could do was broth, but i was literally only awake for minutes at a time. I was running a fever, horrible pain in my abdomen, and couldn’t even drink water the first few days. Early days of COVID lock downs, and the local hospital was so overrun that it would have been pointless to go. There were no beds, no available doctors or nurses, nothing. Tried going to an urgent care, but when my parents called them they basically said don’t bother, they won’t be able to see me. Lady at the ER told us basically the same thing, but she literally said “I can’t tell you not to come here, but I will say I wouldn’t let anyone I loved near this place”
It was terrifying
Edit: just asked my mom something to clarify, it was 12 days, not a week. Like I said, I remember very little. I also lost 45 pounds.
