10 days for me, alot of energy drinks, pepsi, and gaming.

1995rox

I don't believe that. Delirium would have been massive, and you would have been in a rambling, half manic half coma like state. The longest ever length without sleep was 11 days. Anything past that and you're looking at irreversable health conditions and eventually death.

I did it for 4-1/2 days and I was out of it. It was like I was on drugs ... thanks Diablo 2!!!

Lately I haven't got through one day without drifting off into a light sleep. Week days I go to bed at around 1:00 AM and on weekends I don't sleep at all. Since I haven't had school the last week or so I haven't went to bed for two weeks. the only sleep I have got is when I have involuntarily dropped my eyes... which can be in the most inconvenient places.

I think the longest for me was around 2.5 days. That's too much for me. Without sleep, you're just not really "awake" when you're up.

With caffiene, I can stay up for about 32 hours. I've done it before without caffiene, actually.

The longest I've been up is somewhere between 3-4 days. That was awful. Lately I've been pulling a lot of all-nighters and then not getting much sleep the next night. This summer I stayed up for two days straight on a couple of occasions. Dreadful.

I wish I could tell you. I have insomnia. Sometimes I fall asleep, and I didn't even know it.

Longest I've been was about 70 something hours working on a programming project. I literally went to the computer lab Wednesday afternoon and didn't leave except to get food until Friday night.

Only about 40 hours. I heard if you stay up for a week or more you start to hallucinate.

No. Hell week and a "normal" exercise. During hell week we also had no food and had to solve 15 different tasks and walk like...20 miles between tasks. I lost over 20 pounds during that week. Slept for 34 hours straight after, only interrupted by a couple of wisits to the bathroom. Never been so tired ever...

What's your unit if you don't mind me asking?

By the way the logest I can go without sleep is probably 2 days.

At most, maybe three days. But that's really pushing it. I'd need some Pro Plus or something to keep me going.

You guys do know that there's a runner who ran 50 days "just to prove it could be done", right?

And I don't mean Forrest Gump.

Once I was on a streak - starting from Dec. 23 10 AM, and I slept like at Dec. 28 5 PM.

I was very irritable and unpleasant...No real changes from the norn.

I think I've done three whole nights before, but after 48 hours I catch myself slipping into little fugues which are probably basically eyes-open sleeping states. It's weird though, because my body chemistry changes at around 30 hours - halfway through my working day - and I suddenly get a second wind from nowhere. If I drink coffee any time after 24 hours, I'm absolutely bound to crash part way through the day. I read somewhere that every hour of sleep lost correlates to a tangible drop in IQ, so I wouldn't recommend any experiments, TC.

Me too; I may have my eyelids closed sometimes too, and get no REM sleep. I sometimes open my lids and be like WTF? what was I doing?

I don't mean marathons; I mean 50 days of non-stop running. I'm not sure what his name is; I read it in James Fixx's book.

Wow, that's insane. The guy must have been a virtual corpse at the end of that. I had no idea that was humanly possible, even with the aid of rocket-fuel grade stimulants.

40+ hours, though I dread staying up that long.. for some reason, when I try to sleep after staying up for at least 30+ hours, I can only sleep for about 5 hours and then I wake up super tired, not able to sleep afterwards.

I only remember staying up all night once and sleeping the next morning so around 24 hours.
