What's the longest you've stayed awake?

[PaulOakenfold]

78 hours

[Ignominy]

I didnt even know it was possible to stay along for that long? I mean 110 hours? O_o Why would anyone want to do that? Cant be healthy..

I didn't really have a choice in the matter... I would lay down and try to sleep and just be wide awake with my eyes closed.

I felt pretty exhausted the whole time, but it wasn't until day five that I started losing time. It wasn't like a concussion where you do things and can't remember them later, it was like I instantly was somewhere else and had no recollection of getting there.

I worked nightshifts for a while and I can't sleep during the day, was usually sunday to wednesday so I could rest up on thursday. Had plenty of coffee tho, more then plenty

Not too long ago.. I was really tired but I had to go to the uni. So I drove their, and I literally cannot remember about half my ride, from going there and back. I just can't remember driving certain parts of that trip. I just had to keep moving around, switching how I was sitting to keep my eyes open and stay awake. Luckily my driving skills are quite excellent (yea yea, whatever) so I was never really afraid of getting in an accident. But I just cannot remember parts of that ride.

38ish tried desperately to hit the 48 hour mark. JUST CAN'T DO IT. but i stay up for 30ish on a regular basis

I remember a thread like this from years ago, Troll King somehow manages to feel more energetic the next day after being up all night. Personally, I really hate staying up all night, it usually depresses me and the next day I feel like I'm drunk, but without the good feeling.

Old grandma's usually feel more energetic if you keep em awake for one night.

Didn't know TK was that old, but hey!

Monday-Thursday during March of my senior year in high school, then my subconscious took over and apparently told my parents I was going to school before sleeping an entire day in the basement.

[Displaced]

72ish hours doing coursework before the deadline.

absolutely no fun, went to college, dropped off coursework, went home, slept for a good 20 hours.

I've also went 10 days straight with 1-2 hour sleep and around 20 hours per day programming a huge assignment that was given to my group of 5 alone. We were supposted to spend 4-5 months doing it so my workload was stacked way high. In that time I were depressed as hell. Never felt that way before.

Made me quit school, and I've permenantly lost my will to learn programming ever again, even tho I were an ace student.

Two years ago, during my exams. I stayed up for 3 days. I had this worst case scenario: 4 exams on 4 days, didn't do anything during the year, so I had to do it on nicotine and cafeine. My first exam I passed with 16, my second with a 12, the third exam I managed to get a 10. And the forth...well, I fell asleep in the aula and drooled all over the paper . Still 3 out of 4 isn't a bad streak!

If its a flat surface I'll sleep on it

flat?....
I used to sleep in a pile of cardboard at work on break or lunch.....I could sleep any where and I love sleep

[HeavenSent]

Back in the mid-80's working 3rd shift, I stayed awake 3 days and set the accounting dept. back 1 day from a careless mistake on their month-end close. ooops! I still work a 3rd shift job ( 3rd shift rules!) and frequently stay awake twice a week for almost ( or more sometimes ) 48 hours (beginning & ending the week). After the 2nd day of no sleep, the mind plays some wicked tricks. :wassat:

[Jeenyuss]

maybe 36 hours, i know one day last summer i deciding pulling an all nighter then going to work would be a good decision. it was not.

[Jason]

man, might, programming will do that shit to you

did the same to me pretty much, heh
