I'm at about 44 hours, pretty sure that's my new record.

42.

Probably long enough to watch Inception, and that was a struggle.

I think about 24 hours. And in those 24 hours, there was a flight to Cancun, a day at the beach, and a long night of drinking. Remember plopping myself on the bed and being out instantly.

Probably around 36 hours.

Stay woke

in college

Up at 8am one day, then pulled all nighter...then had intramural racquetball match at 10pm that night.

won the match because I am truly a hero to all... so probably about 36-38 hours.

40 hours, once.

The second longest I have been awake is probably 23 hours.

About 40 hours - woke up around 8am, at midnight a group of classmates and I drove to Havasu falls in AZ, got there at 5am and hiked down to the falls and back, which was about 30 miles of hiking. Got to our cars around 7pm, then drove home and got back around midnight. Undoubtedly the dumbest thing I've ever done. I drove home and was so tired it was worse than being drunk.

72 hours that included a 4 hour nap.

That means it wasn't 72 hours.

If you have to stay up for long long periods of time, it's best not keep track of the number of hours. Just gotta do what you gotta do.

Woke up at 6am for 10am flight to Glasgow for work. Got there at 7am Glasgow time and went straight to the office. Didn't go to bed until 8pm.

So if I did my math correctly, that would be be around 33 hours of no sleep.

feels like i've been awake for hours

Vegas 2 days

Not sure. I just know that after reading this thread I'll be out like a.....

5 AM on a Friday till 10 PM on a Saturday. so just over 40 hours.

working security at a charity garage sale that had a lot of items outdoors. uneventful night, but i did catch somebody start trying to load stuff up an hour before the garage sale started.

what made it worse was that every waking hour outside of the night watch shift was hauling furniture.

i slept till 11 Sunday morning.

Probably a two day straight in the architecture building.

I've dealt with insomnia for years so 48 hours without sleep happens regularly but I'm still pretty functional during that time, once I go into my third day though, that is when it gets rough. I think the longest I've gone without sleep is 4 nights though.

Just did about 40 hours straight, running in the Texas Independence Relay. I don't possess that "I can sleep anywhere" gene.

I worked at the grocery store across campus back before the strip was a scene from Walking Dead. It was open 24/7.

Once I worked 36 hours straight, except for going home to shower and have a bite before coming back. I was checking in the express lane ... and fell asleep standing up in the middle of an order. I woke up after a few seconds to see the customers (a couple) looking at me with concerned faces. In hindsight, they probably thought I was on something. Nope, just trying to pay for school at $3.90 an hour.

Anyway, my record-record is probably 40 hours. Do not recommend.

50 some odd hours. Hallucinating in a Humvee just south of Ramadi as the sun came up.

Since whenever the last time this topic came around was.

18 hours. No great stories. I just try to get at least 6 hours of shut-eye every night.

What if, during those 4 hours, I dreamed I was awake?












Yessir ...

Good point, BES.

50-51 hours- first 26 hours- woke up at 8:00 am on a Tuesday. Took a final at 3:00- studied through the night and took a final on Wednesday at 10:00 am. Studied for another 4 hours and took amother final at 2:00 pm.

Next 24 hours- studied through the night and took my last final on Thursday at 9:00 am. Finished at 11:00 am. Went back to my dorm room and slept until 8:00.

There was a lot of no dose, a few ice cold showers, some running up and down the halls, and Coca Cola during that time.

Pulled down a 4.0 and took 18hours that semester but would never do again.

2 to 3 hours at a time. Need my naps....

My sophomore year, I went out Friday night after going to midnight yell, stayed up all night drinking and partying with my date and some friends, got back to the dorm just in time to go to Saturday morning drill and fake being sober with much of the rest of the band, then went back and got ready for the football game, pulled date ticket, did the whole gameday BQ thing, made it through drill with a hangover building. Survived the game, got back, went and ate with some buddies, cleaned up, dressed up, picked up my date and went out drinking any partying again all night.

Folks came in Sunday mid day for a visit, and I was basically asleep on my feet at that point. When you are 19 your body can survive that type of thing amazingly well. The problem is what it does to your grades...

I haven't slept for 3 days.. cause that would be too long.


In college, one time I left C.S., drove to Katy to swap cars, then drove to NYC. My brother was working there and wanted his car, so he bought my one way flight home.

Don't remember exactly how long it was, but it was long. maybe 28 hours? I arrived at like 9pm, so stayed awake another 4 hours drinking.

60-something hours during an evolution in the Marine Corps. I don't remember exactly because it was a long time ago and I don't recall feeling the lack of sleep was anything significant. I just recall stepping off one evening and not getting to sleep until three mornings later. Then I just kept going about my business.

I didn't hallucinate, but my visual perception certainly changed.

I have experienced some severe anxiety and depression over the years since that made sleep challenging, so easily in the 30s-40s on other occasions. I know I really need sleep when my vision starts to slip into that mode.

Didn't we have this exact thread, like a month ago?

55 doing military stuff.

About 8 1/2 inches. Probably about the same when I am asleep.
