I stayed awake for about three and a half days once. Don't know what compelled me to do so but it would be an under statement to say it SUCKED!

I guess my stupidity-counter is stuck arround 72-84 hours.
Its been about 5 years now since then, but i remember the whole (not the specific details, especially after the 2nd day) as if it where yesterday.
It all started when a mate of mine and myself where in our local pub one evening, where we realized that the frequency of us being bored again had become more of a rule then an exception.
After gulping down several alcoholical beverages we had the most "brilliant" idea of getting ourselves some magic mushrooms to bring back the colour into our otherwise boring game of repetition. We instantly called the only shop in town selling the aforementioned herbalistics to find out they where closed already.
Accepting our fate of having yet another copy/paste evening, we agreed to visit the shop first thing next morning and not soon after we concluded our evening.
Unfortunately for me, this would be my first step into the world of the logically illogic, which resulted in my childish personality to take over like the cliché kid in a candy-store or the first time you tried to stay awake for christmas just to catch a glimpse of the bearded fat guy in red.
So when the next day arrived, my childish excitement had kept me up all night already and therefore it didn't matter if i kept waiting at home or in front of the shop, so i chose the latter.
I was awake for 18 hours now.
A few hours later my mate arrived and soon after the shop opened. After joyfully prancing arround with our latest addition towards becoming more "well-informed" psychonauts, we continued our journey towards the local park.
I won't go much into detail about the actual experience tho, since herbal drugs are much more influenced by your personal state of mind compared to synthetic drugs, who try to force-feed you a specific "emotion" instead.
But regardless of the fun, combined with 6 hours of non-stop 8bit music and a bright summer's day, the entire experience left me with more questions then i ever could've imagined which in their turn resulted in my brains running at full speed, like a locomotive on steroids, a rather shiny, flying, techno-colour locomotive mind you.
That night sleep seemed more of a waste of time, rather then a godsend, so i was kept awake again by the philosophical snowballeffect that the shrooms had caused.
The next day arrived and my awake-timer reached 42 hours.
Still under influence of the mind-altering substance i realized that that evening i had plans for the continuation of my D&D campaign so i started preparing myself for that, and together with my new experience i came up with some controversial and crazy ideas to try out that night.
When the awake-timer finally reached its 50'th hour we went on to play one epic D&D setting, as in the end we managed to make it a 24h session, with many thanks to the 2 trays of energy-drinks we picked up at the grocery store before we started.
After that 24 hour setting i still wasn't able to sleep and with the stupidity-counter having reached 74 hours things started to become blurry and inconsistent; perhaps the shrooms, and the fact that i pretended to be a wizard/rogue/arcane trickster halfling for 24 hours had something to do with that aswell *rolleyes*.
I remember staring at my pc screen for a few hours, trying to play a game, but eventually got sucked in by the repetitive music which resulted in me doing absolutely nothing at all.
Later that day, still being a semi-mindless zombie, i got invited to a friend's party and since my lack of willingness to sleep and zombie mindset gave me no real choice i went over there and got quite drunk, made a complete retard out of myself in front of a few mobile cameras and eventually managed to find my bed.
So in the end i was awake for at least 84 hours.
Altho logic told me it should be more, my brain seemed to have wandered off for a few hours here and there so my mental awake-timer is a few hours off compared to my physicial one.
To make an absurdly and unnecessarily long story short:
Drugs do funny things towards your comprehension and experience of space and time.

48 h
About 30h in I decided to have an Elfen Lied marathon and after that I watched Fight Club. Both for the first time. It was weird.

Well it was a few years back, I was pulling an all nighter on a game (Which I don't do all nighters anymore) and I didn't want my dad to find out I pulled an all nighters so I stayed up from 8 am to about midnight it was roughly 48 hours and man was I wrecked...
Do you have ANY IDEA how hard it is for someone with insomnia to just lay in bed for 6 six hours straight!?!?!Sober Thal said:
I was up 33-36 hours on my first day in Europe towards the end. Jetlag + no sleep the night before the trip = almost too tired to enjoy Paris. Managed to take a lot of pictures though.
