I've lasted 60 hours before. I have serious insomnia so my body makes melatonin slower than normal. I woke up at 5:11 pm yesterday. I haven't gone to bed yet and aren't until it's 9pm. SO yeah. I get by with exercising, eating, gaming, little bit of caffiene. I've been playing Left 4 Dead 2 for about 10 hours now. I will return by 11am. My name on there is Ridley. For whoever wants to game 
5 days, each with the same schedule: guard the night, march the day, take part in a combas exersise in the evening. After 5 days my entire company was as good as dead. Army can be tough.
After about 4 or 5 days you will start to doze off standing up. Sometimes just staring off into space with an empty mind for a minute refreshes you like a nap would at that point. Sometimes you are so tired the only thing you can do to keep your eyelids from closing is roll your eyes up into your head. You'd have to define sleep.
I've worked midnights for the past 10 years. I say anyone who says they made it longer than 5 days without a "period of rest" is full of shit. Your ass might not have gotten into bed- but you dozed off or spaced out for a minute. Admit it.

I've gone 4 days without trying, had a little bit of insomnia for a while, I just couldn't go to sleep. I felt fine though, I suppose it's because I usually get so little sleep that I'm permanently tired know. Any one else got to the ratchet and clank 3 insomniac offices area without changing the ps2 internal clock?
You should't ask me, since I'm what most people would call crazy (or psychologically conditioned, if they're feeling polite, which is never). I don't know how long I COULD go but I do know that I once managed 83 hours without sleep or caffeine. That one was an extreme though, I think the longest after that was only like 55 hours.
im on hour... 22 so far right now and probably won't get to sleep til about midnight tonight. Ive gone about 30 plus hours but not too much longer than that. I never REALLY tried though.
world record is like 264 odd hours. Guinness dont track the record do to health and safety reasons. Since when do they care about that?

I can remember at least three of the days I was up I think I might have been up for five but I was so tired around three I can't remember past them. It was the mountain dew like 4 twelve packs and nine two litters along with three other guys who had nothing else better to do but stay up playing Halo. Good times.
The question is how long with or without drugs. With drugs such as caffine, sugar and some cigarettes I can stay up for about 2 days. With other substances I would say you could do 3 to 4 days, but you are going to crash and hard at the end, and likely sleep for half a day or longer recouping.
I have managed to go for almost 2 weeks of no sleep what's so ever besides maybe about an hour/two a day. I was exhausted and eventually collapsed where by catching up on my lack of sleep. I was warned if i did that again i would most likely die. Then again i'd rather not be writhing in agony with a mouth infection ever again. It also didn't help that i couldn't eat anything either meaning my body was weak and malnurished.
