the longest I have stayed awake was ten days oh the horror and I don't even know why I cant go to sleep they have given me the strongest prescription sleeping pills they have and they don't work anymore right now I'm on a streak of eight days and we will see how long it lasts.

I can get away with missing one day's sleep fairly regularly, but the longest I've gone without is 2 nights (3 days)
One of which was a result of being unable to sleep, the second of which was an experiment of sorts.
It's happened the other way round, as well - stay up all night due to imminent deadlines, then somehow can't sleep the following night. Day 3 is always awful. Always.

About 2 days, during the summer. I was bored and wanted to see how long I could go. Not long, obviously. Although my dad, when he was in high school stayed awake for 5 days as a science project. He said it was one of the worst times of his life after the second day.
I've actually never gone without sleeping at least a little bit every night. One of these days, I'll probably wind up doing something very stupid, and pull an all-nighter... but I really like my sleep.
Maybe sometime this summer I'll sit down in front of the Xbox with one of the games that are coming out soon, and a supply of unhealthy snacks and beverages, and see how long I can stay up.
That actually sounds like fun, now that I think about it. Gonna have to remember that.

About 48 hours. I went for a sleep-over at a friends house, then did the same the next night at a different friends house.
Any less sleep and I would have literally started seeing shit.

Interesting how there are some people here who have stayed awake for 80-90 hours, but you choose to quote someone with 72 hours haha.godfist88 said:
I think someone just wanted to drop a quick WoW joke
OT: I love sleeping, but I usually go to bed very late and wake up very late. I have never stayed up for a full day as I have said before.
6 Days, 7 nights. This was back when I first developed tinnitus and I just had no idea how to handle it... by the end of it I was seeing things and INCREDIBLY jumpy. Finally my body just gave out and I collapsed on the kitchen floor, waking up in my bed 2 days later (no idea how I'd gotten there).
Around 80 hours (sunday morning till wednesday evening), with 3x1 hour naps during classes. Actually, I was expecting that hallucination thing, but it came around the last hours.
And I kinda liked it, wasn't so vivid, but they were fun.
Oh and at the 3rd day I became somehow hyperactive so everybody were like "what's up with you?!"
Really fun experience, gotta try it again.
By the way, 24-36 hours have become somehow default for me, I see nothing wrong with that.
(I don't play games during that time though, it's more like coffee + movies)

Almost 3 days during the summer I was partying and going from party to party. I was running on booze and awesome music, at one point I passed out and woke up laying in a bath tub with a puddle of puke on the floor BESIDE the tub. The next few days I couldn't keep my eyes open longer then 20 minutes.
I have worked in computer support and internet support for Dreamhack (the largest LAN-party in the world)..
damn rough I must say, worst must've been the summer of -08 when due to un-reliable servers and switches I and two others were awake for five whole days from the morning, the day before it started, until the day after it ended and everything we had to clean up was gone.. and yes, the others were up due to caffeine, I on the other hand couldn't take it, and on the fourth day I did take some X just to be able to pull through...
I will never EVER do something that stupid again, I felt so lousy after that, it took weeks to get back into my real life...

Got to this point and start helucinating and thought "yeah, better stop this and go to sleep".theonlyblaze2 said:
I wanted to see how long I could stay up for with no caffine/super sugary based drinks. Got to about 10 PM on the forth day and the edges of my vision were ... shimmering, like air above a flame and thats when I thought the previous mentioned thought.
more than a week....time tends to blur together after that long without sleep, but i do recall some teacher yelling at me for some project that we started exactly a week ago. not voluntary mind you, insomnia. had some pretty freaky hallucinations, and eventually fell asleep while sitting at a table.
to this day, i dont know if that little bout of insomnia was horrible or awesome; a combination of just not remembering and not being able to make up my mind whether my waking dreams were trippy fun or nightmarish...
