Poll: What is the longest time you have stayed awake?

[RadiusXd]

I think I've stayed awake for 84+ hours, I had a shitload of backed up homework.
while how long you stayed awake is interesting at the time, it all becomes a blur after you finally crash.
Also, there is a cool time dialation effect you get going when your tired, it seems to go slower or faster then the clock says it should.

PS, Ritalin is the key here, just don't overdo it (really don't) i regret the time i was sleepy and needed to do work and took like 3-4 times the perscribed dose, after i was deleriously tired of course. your muscles start twitching in time with you heartbeat and stuff.

 

[Sleekgiant]

Only made it to 28 hours :O

Drove from Toronto to Florida nonstop. That's a 23 hour trip and we arrived in the middle of the day, so about 38 hours without sleep.

I also suffer from insomnia, so I regularly pull 20-24 hour days. I'm getting better though.

 

[RadiusXd]

oh, and if you are trying to stay awake, make sure you stay the heck away from transport, especially busses, trains and perhaps trams...........I wouldn't drive either.

 

[linwolf]

Over six days, I am never going to try that again.

Over six days, I am never going to try that again.

you say try, but from the sound of it you succeeded.
what exactly were you aiming for?

 

[Baby Eater]

Almost a week.

You wanna know what I did? Suffer.

4 days during a convention in Texas. Never Again.

I reckon i might be able to break the 1 week barrier, provided I am supplyed with these things:
1, a sufficient supply of mother energy drink.
2, a abnormally high supply of food, i might eat 2-3 times as much as normal so it would be like 21 days worth of food, also a high supply of cheese, cheese is actually good for staying awake.
3, my normal perscribed ritalin dosage.
4, unlimited shower access.
5, perhaps some sort of award, so i can have something to work for.
6, Starcraft 2, I can imagine staying up 48 hours just to try this.
and lastly...
7, adequate preperation, in fact.
Begin rocky style sleeping montague!!

I know I've done 146 hours before. I may have done more. I regularly do 36-48 againsy my will damn insomnia/possable bi-polar. At 50-60 hours things get "fun" minor halunisations seeing things in pattens ect. ove 72-100 then well it gets a little freakyer.

 

[Sevre]

Hit 40 hours twice, once with Guild Wars and once with Kingdom Hearts 2. It's not something I'd want to do again...often.

Would that be Ms. Vee?

 

[aseelt]

Ah, during the A-Levels exam season I hit 84+ hours. Four nights out of five I was awake in the end, and I think I got 6 hours that night.

Was not fun, at that stage I could barely concentrate and was micro-napping in Chemistry. The teacher caught me too.

After that I slept from Friday night to Sunday morning, waking up once to look at the clock before closing my eyes.

 

[gristledemon]

when i was young i hear after 72 hours u were legally insane... so my friends and I would stay up for as many days as we could. this is stimulent free btw although we did eat candy and pizza and stuff.... just no coffie or drugs.
