Longest youve stayed awake?

23 whole hours. Could barely stay awake in class that day and I freaked out alot.

Just about a day and a half.

Probably 3 or 4 days during a manic episode.

Couple of days one time the summer between graduating HS and going to college... I felt like I was never going to get to play video games again, so I binge gamed... Started playing at like 2pm (when I woke up that day) on Tuesday and had a blast with some buddies on xbox live playing a lot of different games for a long ass time... By Friday morning at like 5am, after around 63 hours of gaming interdispersed with bathroom breaks, one shower, and a few meals... I fell asleep at my desk with my controller still in my hand and my headset still on... Woke up 7 hours later with an indentation of my keys on my face.

First and last time that ever happened.

Never again.

about 3 days

on a drug and alcohol binge.

good times.

44 hours. 38 of those were at work and on the clock. We were transitioning an entire building from a token ring network to a switched ethernet network. We had the weekend to get it done, and we did.

About 36 hours.

I don't know how the heck some go for several days... Not even being awake for 24 hours just makes my eyes too sore.

Woke up at about 7am on Friday, didn't sleep until evening on Monday.

About 58 hours.

sounds like it sucked, but i bet the fat paycheck you [probably] received felt good

:D

Was a nice payday. The thing about being a contractor is that you never know when you are going to get paid until you land a contract, but after you have a number of contracts behind you, you really gain the advantage on haggling over price. You don't have to be the cheapest bidder if you've got some good quality work behind you.

Nearly 72 hours before I gave in and went to sleep. Procrastinating on a report til the final 3 days then stayed awake trying to complete it those final 3 days. No fun at all. I was using sheer willpower to stay awake that long...

I wasn't keeping track, but around 4-5 days.

Some 30-odd hours. A night that started with bar hopping, turned into a horribly failed morning fishing trip, and ended in an all day adventure featuring the exhausting hot sun and people swarms at six flags great america. I've never crawled into my bed....prior to that night.

Two days. Can't do any more.

I have schizophrenia and I can't sleep without medication. For some reason my mind can't shut down on it's own. I've gone a week or more without sleep. I actually lost count of how many days I was awake. It's pretty horrible because I get extreemly tired but I just can't sleep.

I have trouble getting my mind to shut up as well. I can lay in bed, tired as hell, for HOURS without opening my eyes and still can't go to sleep.

That's why I self-medicate about an hour before bed.:cool:

24 hours or so

5 days, no joke.

Around 30ish hours.

5 days, no joke.

I stayed awake for around 3 or 4 days playing Dragon Quest 8 when it came out. That was last time I went on a gaming binge like that...never again.

When I was still in college, my pschology class conducted sleep experiments, and I was the guinea pig of my group. I was forced to stay awake anywhere from 3-4 days about four times that year.

A plus was I was exempt from work in my other classes (I still had to show up, though), but by the end of the study, I was half-crazy.

Recently did 42 hours no problem with a little help, but can usually hit high 30's easily without any assistance.

About 20 hours.

Around 46hrs back when I was in my early 20's. Then proceeded to sleep for almost the same. Lately it's topped out at 18hrs.

Two days and a bit. @_@

Probably about 2 days. Usually sleep forever after a no sleep binge like that.
