Current Events > Longest you've gone without sleep...? -_-

(+) Yeah! (+)

Close to seven days when I was first dealing with pretty hardcore schizophrenia symptoms/side effects of overdosing on medication.

Not a good time.

Probably ~40ish a couple times when finishing projects followed by a normal work day.

dang nice usernames @X-Men @PlayStation
---

2 and a half days a bit more.

---

58 hours

I think 32 hours a few times.

Fun fact: the Special Forces (or some elite military group, I forget exactly) consider staying awake for 5 days straight to be the equivalent of doing the hardest, most mind-bending drugs there are and thus disqualify you from joining if youve stayed up that long without sleep.

I think the most Ive done is 30-35 hours.

Funny. I did 5 days once when I was kicking a dependency on sleep medication. I agree with their assessment. It's easily the worst thing I've ever done in my life.

Close to 3 days dealing with equipment issues on deployment. I was probably more a hindrance than a help to my work center at that point but the chain of command was getting on our case about it and I was trying to keep them away from harassing my guys working

---

No more than 48 hours back when the Dreamcast came out and I got Phantasy Star Online. I spent a couple days looking for a dragon sword and a double saber off the dragon -_-

Almost three days when I turned 16 (birthday cake made me too hyped up).

---

Not sure, maybe around 36 hours? Just not going to bed one night. Most weeks I end up staying up around 22 hours (around 23 last night) after my last day of work for the week because I get up early and stay up late. Really confused how tc has never gotten less than 5 hours of sleep before.

3 days

45ish last month due to pure insomnia.

Anyone hallucinate? I had hallucinations that morphed stuff around me.

I could of swore in my ill lit room that someone sat up under a pile of blankets and turned towards me.

Then, walking to the store during the day after like 3 nights skipped, I seen a pile of boxes half a block down look like they were standing up while still connected.

Then the one time I went into my kitchen and my microwave clock somehow kept rising into the air non-stop. Like, It was always elevating but somehow staying in my vision. My mind couldn't comprehend how it was possible.

Auditory hallucinations are way scarier than visual
---

32 hours or so I think. A few times in college. Maybe 5 total. Its a drain.
---

Somewhere along the lines of fifty something hours.

Things I remember from it.

1. I stopped feeling hot or cold. I had the A/C full blast, and it felt like wind not hot or cold pushing against me.

2. At first I started seeing things out of the corners of my eye. After staying up longer, if I stared at something it would actually move or appear to be breathing(depends on what I was looking it)

3. Time, you lose all track of time. I went with my friend to the store to buy him cigarettes and came back, it only took 10 minutes, but felt like an hour.

4. Hungry. As time wore on, I got hungrier and hungrier.

5. Volume of your voice. After a while I couldn't control my voice, even though I was forcing a loud voice it came out a little lower than the normal level I would talk at.

6. Oblivious. Things begin to happen fast and you really have to pay attention to keep up or it jumbles together.

Everyone's experience is different, but these are the few things I can "recall" from staying up way past late.

Think 12 / 13 days was awhile ago thu

But that fella wasnt a gamer. Gamers have built a super natural ability for this type of thing.
