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.
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.
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.
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...

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

Hehe, I'm Norwegian and my unit was the Telemark Battaljon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telemark_Battalion
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?
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.

English comedian, Eddie Izzard has just completed a forty three day stretch of running a marathon a day.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.

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.
