How long have you stayed awake?

[CheesusCrust]

2 and a half days, I probably coulda kept going but I made the mistake of lying down while watching TV

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Pulled a few all nighters, but got sick within a day or two both times...

 

[Benjeezy]

A week. I used multiple means to do so, but i was up for a week. I was FUCKED UP at the end of it though, I was seeing crazy things. I thought my T.V. moved across my room and climbed onto the bed where i was sitting, even though i knew that was impossible.

I wouldn't recommend it.

 

[Turing]

Just around 100 hours. I wasn't really counting, bad streak of insomnia.
The hallucinations can be kind of fun though, just don't expect to be capable of pretty much anything

 

[SirDerick]

48 hours.
I watched all three lord of the rings.

 

[Legend of J]

2-3 days i have a bad sleepin disorder thats it in its worse however i have to take happy pills to sleep more lol. But id probs go 4 at a push but its not summit i want to try.

I guess it was about 120 to 125 hours with maybe an hour or two of naps... or missing time... was assured I was sleeping AT the time, but my source was running on less sleep than I was.

I was working on special effect shots on a tight deadline for a TV series. There is no mercy in the entertainment industry, and at the time there was no Union here either.

 

[Xeros]

A little over 80 hours after my friend's suicide. Yeah... that was not a fun week in any way, shape, or form.

 

[DkLnBr]

I think it ended up being 48 hours, including the flight and airports. Man I wanted to sleep, but jet-lag is EVIL!

 

[JokerCrowe]

32 hours... never doing that again.

Spoiler: Why?

Class trip to London: wake up 8 am, go to school, 9 hour busride to stockholm at 7 pm, arrive in stockholm 4 am, on a plane to london 11am go to bed in london at 8 pm [the next day]

During my military training, in a war-game exercise, during the most hectic days a total of 114h awake, with 6 hours of sleep total here and there in between.

It was murder. We had people beginning to hallucinate while awake. To stop any physical activity even for a second was to fall asleep while standing and with eyes open.

But then again, that was part of the excersice: to teach us the limits of our own bodies and minds and what the absolutely screaming need for sleep does to us.

Disregarding that, at a LAN party 50h of gaming, playing pool, watching competitions etc and 5 hours of sleep total that weekend.

I hear ya.. same thing here..

not as extreme though.
our war-game exercise lasted a week,, during that week i had maybe 7 hours of sleep total.
The last night before our march back.. I had the "luck?" of "sleeping" right on top pf a tree root. that night was so weird.. I woke every 10 minutes thinking it was my turn to be on watch.. Id then fall asleep.. wake up look around,, stay awake for a few mins..

Turns out.. the guy on watch.. who was supposed to wake the next guy.. fell asleep

Our sergent even fell asleep and didnt notice a thing.. win!

I have insomnia so its not unusual for me to be up for 3 days at a time. Its awful being up for 3 days (or a bit longer) as I start to hallucinate (even though I think its the same for everyone) it would be nice to fall into a deep sleep now and then.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Like, 1 minute.

I was born, was awake for one minute, and ever since then I've been sleepwalking all my life.

I'm even doing it now.

That's nothing! According to my doctor, I'm dead! I'm zombie-walking!

 

[maninahat]

Three fucking days. Had a lot of essays to do, and a very close deadline. Technically, it wasn't 3 days without sleep - every six hours or so, I had a 30 minute powernap.

Does anyone else see little black/grey dots when they stay up for too long? I'm not talking about the floaters people see everyday.

 

[Quaxar]

35 hours tops. Although during holidays I sleep roughly 5 hrs a normal day. There's just so much to do!

 

[Banana Phone Man]

The longest I have ever stayed up was 2 1/2 days. And my body clock is still wrecked up to this day.

 

[ffxfriek]

72 hours. i kinda had too much coffee. (understatement)
At about that point, it feels like you are in a movie... played on about 3 times the normal speed.

That would be myself too. I was awake last year for 72hours straight. That was crazy though i was sadly playing runescape so i was busy the whole time...

(I quit runescape about a month after that by the way)

EDIT

A little over 80 hours after my friend's suicide. Yeah... that was not a fun week in any way, shape, or form.

Thanks for reminding me. I didnt sleep for 6 days when my pastor did what happened to you. It was horrible and i lost a lot of weight and hair as well...didnt eat either. Im sorry for your loss by the way

I'm a bit ashamed to tel you that around the 90h mark, we had an alarm called and rushed to the defence positions. Went in, leaned forward and aimed down the sights to see if there really was an opposing force out there.

I fell asleep within a minute and didn't wake up until some minutes later a fellow soldiers from the pit next to mine called 'Changing mag'.

There had been a mock fight going on for almost a minute, with hundrets of blank shots being fired from assault rifles on both sides, as well as flares for illumination and so forth.

Luckily none of our other excersices lasted as long and usually included a chance to sleep at least 3h a night.
