Longest time you have gone without sleep and what happened...

I have made it 52 hours without drugs, alone in my dorm watching dragonball Z and playing Halo with my friends online. After my friends fell asleep i talked myself crazy and kept thinking how i was hearing things when wood would creak and how i felt like i was gonna die, i was really afraid, and tired, i eventually passed out leaning agianst my desk looking through a magazine... Whats your story?

Credits for topic go to a site Gamespot wont let me mention but it comes from /b.

I stayed up 68 hours straight to do work. After I finished everything, I literally collapsed in bed and slept for about 22 hours. Never again.

5 days, a little over that. I started seeing stuff, no joke.

I've gone...around...20 ish without sleep...i was posting on GS :P..

Like 35-40 hours. (one night up). Nothing happened other than being painfully tired.

Mines not very long.... Only 23 hours straight. But, all that time was spent at work providing continuous weather info for firefighters battling a huge brush fire in CA (1999).

The next longest would be in the Persian Gulf (Middle East). I can't even count the number of days when I slept 2-3 hours per day.

I went nearly a week straight with no sleep. The lack of sleep hospitalized me as I was beginning to enter the preliminary stages of dementia. Slept a good 26 hours in the hospital after that.

So yeah, pretty safe to say I have insomnia. I have to take medication for it, otherwise I'm awake for days on end.

I pulled an all nighter in college once. I fell asleep during Bio the next morning. That was it.

92 hours and i was fine

graduation= about 3 days straight drinking with friends

I can stay up all night and not be tired. But If I lose too much sleep I get sick. That's all.

5 days because of my illness. I slept for 12 hours and stayed up another 5 days. I have schizoprenia and I couldn't sleep when I was sick. The cycle went on for about a month. When I went to the hospital they gave me an injection of Haldol. I then slept 23 hours a day for a month straight. The only time I got up was to go to the bathroom and eat twice a day.

I take medication now that helps me sleep. If I don't take it I will stay up for days.

The longest I've ever stayed up was roughly 24 hours. I was tired, of course, and patterns would apprear to be moving (like floor tiles).

About three days. Drank a lot of coffee. I was pretty much solid ADD, said really stupid **** according to my recollection, my mind functioned very oddly, and despite the inability to concentrate, I had next to no ability to multitask even trivial tasks. Odd feeling. Difficult to describe in words...

36yrs. i worked then i gambled(card playing) all night long and went straight to work and then gamlbe all night long again. and got like 1 hour of sleep. so i have 36hrs straight. if i didn't sleep that 1 hr, i would've done 60hrs straight! frig! see what gambling does to you? lolz.

four days, it was out of survival though as i was trapped on a mountain.

even worse i didnt eat or drink anything for the four days either, so that made it a bit worse. not to mention the fact that we were walking on an ice covered mountain in the middle of a snow blizzard.

you cant eat snow to survive either, it brings your body temp waaay down and you start to freeze.

so you can survive with no food or water for 4 days and be ok, but its not that much fun!

started experiencing some visual hallucinations. That's about it.t3hrubikscube

like 40 hours just to see if I could. I can.

About 5 days. I don't know what the hell kept me up that long but eventually my body said "**** this ****" and knocked me out cold.

It's beenabout six years agoand I was up for like 4 or 5 days. The anxiety was overbearing. I can't even stay up for 24 hours without it being a stressful ordeal.

27 hours then a quick 1 hour nap followed by 20 hours. i will beat that this summer

I went around 2 days with a friend just playing Chrono Trigger(exception of eating,drinking, and going to the bathroom). It was actually one of the best times of my life

longest time i went without sleeping??? 3 days. the first day i was all mad and stuff. second day was like a LSD trip and the 3 day i mostly stayed in my room watching tv and doing stuff on the computer. why? I wanted to sleep for a very long time and felt so refreshed when i woke up.
