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

[Hexenwolf]

You know, the average person starts hallucinating after not sleeping for 3 days. Just saying.

 

[hazabaza1]

I think it was 27 hours. Not sure, but I started to feel tingly.

Snip:The sequel.

No,this calls for a MANTAGUE! The manly montague!
I know someone who isn't on now that's stayed up for maybe two weeks.

That's hardcore, im amazed.
Can you confirm that?

If she's on before this thread dies I will.

Would that be Ms. Vee?

Yep yep!

 

[Sleekgiant]

Yep yep!

I knew it :3

 

[linwolf]

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?

My goal was ten days.

 

[^=ash=^]

I got reasonably close to 48 hours. Then I gave up. The best thing is no matter how hard I try to sleep during the day after an all-nighter I just can't do it so the hours rack up until the following night, where I force myself till about 3am ish. In the summer it's just begining to get light and this is enough to keep me up for a bit longer.

 

[Baby Eater]

Yep yep!

I knew it :3

That's what I want you to think. Mwahaha!....Yeah I don't know what I mean either

4 and a half days, I was very sick and had a lot of trouble breathing. The lady at the pharmacist refused to sell me cough medicine because I looked like a junkie. I had not eaten that entire week and I eventually managed to get asleep but man that was rough. I regularly pull 24-36 hour days for work and projects but I always regret it later.

Edit: The world record holder has 449 hours so we must have some very strong minded people on the escapist

 

[C95J]

ooh, I'd have to say just over 2 days. But when I get too tired I could fall asleep on a bed of nails

Yay Reviving threads

 

[Dango]

I've stayed up a full 24 hours only once, and that was the first time I went into the Forum Games section...

 

[barash]

The Gathering '94 - around 54 hours.

 

[3aqua]

I watched all of the nightmare on elm streets and I couldn't get to sleep for 2 days

 

[Brightzide]

Used to be a proper emo hanging around Urbis in Manchester, street drinking and the like..being abit of a nonse. Once stayed out and up for over 2 days. Mum called the police thinking I was missing because my phone battery died

 

[Beryl77]

I think it was about 42 hours. After about 35 hours it felt really strange, like I was on drugs.

 

[Lilani]

Probably a day and a half. Had a bad experience with a roommate and I didn't end up getting any sleep for a night. Still went to work the next day, but I felt like total crap.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Somewhere between 12-24 hours. I pretty much tend to get too nervous and panicking the night before the big day (last time it happen was my driving test which btw I fail.)

 

[Mr Shrike]

I've done 46 hours, but that was with energy drinks by the dozen!

Never, ever, EVER again!

I slept for 16 solid hours afterwards.

 

[endnuen]

46 hours. And we drank all the hours. Until we finally collapsed. Great times.

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

71 hours is my record then i sat down on my bed and just passed out.

 

[Antitonic]

About 4 days. It was my school ski trip, and the guys I was with are assholes enough. No need to provide extra ammunition.

On the plus side, I got a lot of reading done, and I got to see what they did to other people (it wasn't pretty). On the downside, when I got home, I practically passed out. That was a Thursday night. I woke up on Saturday. Somehow, I expect the universe to repay me a Friday.

Midweek would be nice. Not enough timewasting on a Tuesday.
