What's the longest time you've gone without sleep?

[Mookie_Magnus]

17 days

I would have to say about a day and a half... Not that brag about, but nothing to frown at.

 

[stompythebeast]

Let's see. I've done 40 hours more than once. Not good.

Longest? probably about 56 hours. - it was fine for the most part, but right towards the end it was an effort to keep my eyes open regardless of what I was doing.

No hallucinations or anything weird though; But it's not pleasant, because I start to feel really worn out even before I get to the point where I can't keep my eyes open anymore.

true that, i dont go to bed for 24-40 hours too many times. My longest is around 60 hours, it was after me and my mates decided to go on for a full weekend starting on a early friday night and going as long as possible. 6 Guys, 6 cases of Bawls. We only drank about 3 cases, and of course we didnt drink alcohol, since that doesnt help at all.( atleast for me, after my 10th irish carbomb at 4 am i just want to crash on my bed). This was as a last celebration, before we all split up and went our own ways, some to the military, some to school. By sunday morning, while playing supersmash brothers, all i saw on the screen was flies and other hallucinations. Then all went black and i was gone for 12 hours. I was the 3rd to bed, #1 was my asian friend, stayed up till 5 pm, eating the last bits of pizza....damn them and their hyper-metabolism!

Recently: 23 hours straight.
I think my record though was like a couple of days a few years back.

 

[Glerken]

Hm. I'd have to say about two days.
Nothing extraordinary, but good enough.

And no one will take me up on a "I bet I can stay up longer than you" bet. So for now, it's going to stay at about 48 hours.

 

[Gooble]

Only like 34 hours, though the way you feel then, that kind of clammy feeling not sure I'd want to stay up much longer than that (unless it was for a bet). The hallucinating sounds pretty cool though, but freaky.

A managed to pull an all-nighter once, with some friends, but that's about it. I need my sleep.

23, pulled an all-nighter to get an assignment done, got one hours sleep before going to school.

double post

 

[Legion]

Around 36 hours ish I think. The journey from the UK to Kenya, including getting to the place where we were staying etc.

 

[Summerstorm]

When i was young and awesome, hm... about two days; LAN-party. I can tell you: playing Age of Empire, or Starcraft when nearly crashing is trippy as hell.

Now that i am only awesome, not young anymore... maybe 20 hours or so? I am an old tired man *g*

 

[sky14kemea]

i guess around 40-43 hours

sadly i love sleep, so i couldnt keep it up XD

i think i was working on something... but i forget what it is now

 

[Oneirius]

3 days, this one is the fourth. I am starting to feel a little tired now, thaugh.

 

[obehave_wan]

I go three days at a time on a regular basis. No special reason, I just don't need that much sleep. Also, I drink a LOT of diet mountain dew, being diabetic. That stuff is just short of ritalin for keeping you alert.

 

[ZickyJackz]

24 hours,tops. Yup,I'm a pussy. I need my fucking sleep.

 

[Buffoon]

I can't function too well without sleep. Hell, I can barely function with it. My record is somewhere around the 40 hour mark. And that was just an unpleasant experience. Going without sleep is not something I would choose to do for fun.

Also, no matter what I was doing, if I had an assignment due or some sort of project happening in my job (not that I have one), I can't imagine that pulling consecutive all-nighters would actually enhance my productivity. After a day and a half without sleep I'd just end up totally useless.

 

[WolfThomas]

Probably 2-3 days at a LAN, my housemate would have a way more hardcore answer, he went a week without sleep during his infantry training.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

I think five days is my record.
It was painfull.
Near the end I was beginning to see things.

Insomnia sucks.

 

[AssassinX66]

I've gone 2 days without sleep. Thats my record. I've tried to break it before, but I just couldn't.
