About 36 hours, give or take a few. Although that was an entirely voluntary all-nighter that I pulled a few weeks ago just to see if I could, I've inadvertently pulled several more by mistake mainly thanks to being side-tracked on the internet then thinking 'lecture at 9am, is it worth getting only three or four hours of sleep?' considering that it takes me at least an hour to go to sleep anyway often. I'm trying now to get my sleeping patterns back in order though, since I've been getting up at 5pm on some weekends and missing half my tasks for the day (which means I stay up late to do things like coursework and housework, then end up going to sleep really late again, and perpetuating the vicious cycle...).

I fell asleep on my keyboard for an hour before waking up due to being uncomfortable. So I forced myself to bed. Slept the whole of that next day.

Curse you World of Warcraft.

IT was sometime in between 36 and 72 hours. I don't remember, I was too caught up in the whirlwind study session that is end of semester college finals.

I didn't sleep last night, that's about it.

My girlfriend has insomnia, and the longest she never slept was a month.

Probably around 36 hours. A bunch of friends and I decided that we would all stay up for at least 24, and then I stayed awake for most of the day. It almost happened again more recently, but I went to sleep after about 23.

5 days. The resulting hullucinations were not worth staying up 4 nights in a row to finish playing Alpha Centauri.

Goddammit, the walls are starting to move again...

72 hours back when I was in college. Not due to a term paper or anything like that, that would have involved work. No, I was playing Natural Selection the whole time.

Back when I was a young pup I stayed awake for 3 days with one of my brothers and a cousin playing crazy amounts of videogames. When I arrived at home on day 3 I ate dinner at 6 PM and slept for 24 hours straight. Ahh... those were the days.
