How long have you gone without sleep.
About 30 hours. I didnt even think I was tired untill I suddenly woke up 8 hours later on the couch.
"In February 2006, I quit my job as a security guard (working overnight security, on average from 8pm to 6am 5-6 days a week), I also quit smoking pot at the time. I had used it to help me get to sleep at non-normal hours (i.e., getting to bed at 10 am to wake up at 6pm), but I tried to quit cold turkey, and so I went without sleep for the next 11 days. My friends told me I started behaving rather crazily by the end of it, and eventually I passed out in a chair in my backyard."
That's weird. When I quit I had a week of sleeping 12 hours a day.
" someone in my old class claimed that he stayed up for 5 days straight doing nothing but playing Fallout 3 to completion. Twice. I sort of believe him since he was always a little..."off," what-with the bloodshot eyes he had and the fact that he'd shove entire straightened paper-clips completely through his arm so often that it wouldn't even bleed when he did it........funny guy, though. "Dude, that's not... right.
Three days with chemical assistance, 36-40 hours without. It's not that unusual for me to go 24 hours without sleep.
49 hours is my longest.
" @RipTheVeins said:tell me about it, he used to do it right next to me." someone in my old class claimed that he stayed up for 5 days straight doing nothing but playing Fallout 3 to completion.

3 and a bit days, and yes by the end I was seeing mad crap. When I used to do student newspaper, we pulled some stupid hours during production. I'd do that, then go to work. I was in at work one time and I started hallucinating that my boss was poking his face through the curtain, making funny noises and poking his tongue out. Looked at him sitting at his desk, and he was nowhere near doing something that goofy. That's when I knew I was in trouble. Well, that and during the tram ride home, I realised the person sitting next to me moved because I was mumbling weird shit to myself about blue cabbages. True story.
There have been other sleep dep events, but they're usually just the whole 'shadow people in your peripheral vision' thing, or everything looking 2D.
I'm a wuss and the latest I have stayed up was like until 7am...
How the hell do you people stay awake?! I want to at least be able stay up for 24 hours.
until the hallucinations kick in.
" I went a little over 30 hours before and it wasn't that bad. I think I'd enjoy those hallucinations though just for a laugh. "you know there are things called drugs, they give you these things without having to wait over 2 days with no sleep
The longest period I went without sleep was around 48 hours. I had to finish a 20 page research paper on top of a ton of other stuff. Most of that time was spent staring at a computer screen, typing and drinking more coffee than is healthy to consume. The worst part was about 3/4 of the way through, I actually had to drive home from the University library to my house. I literally felt hypervigilant and don't really remember much. Needless to say, I crashed some hours later and will never go that long without sleep.
My cap was about 36 hours, but a friend of mine more or less doesn't sleep the whole week (five days) and sleeps through the entire weekend almost every week. He lives off Rockstar. He says you get used to the hours after a while, it just becomes a different sleep schedule. He also says you can get a lot done when everyone else is asleep.
" I've never slept my whole life. True story. "The Moustache Hero has no time to sleep.
I did 33 hours before...although when I did this i was 7. Im 13 now, and cant w8 to try again.
Main reason I stayed up was because I had a sleepover, so naturally, we didnt sleep-instead we played The Warriors on the Xbox all night. Then my nephew (I was still 7) came over and we stayed up all night to watch Codename: Kids Next Door Marathon throughout the night. My dad came and made me sleep though. :(
Ah, Codename KND. The good old days.
