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

(+) Yeah! (+)

Currently 18 hours and 47 mins at the time of this post, no sleep and completely lucid. Not sure if this is some kind of a record.

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.
---

About 30 hours.

---

Guess Im in the minor leagues. 18h 55m and counting. :-/
---

Somewhere around 40-50 hours in high school during some overnight event. The most recent was a couple years ago where I slept some 30 hours on and off over two days due to sickness, so I was plagued by insomnia for a solid 40 hours after that.

36 hours when I was trying to reset my sleep clock. The one and only time I went 24+ hours without sleep.
---

34 hours when I use to work night shifts I had to work and go to a family event so I was up all day worked all night and was awake all day again.
---

47 hours. I tried to break 48 and knocked out, lol. A bunch of times with 30+ though, but not on purpose. Work hours got me sometimes.
---

28ish hours and I thought I was losing my mind
---

Three days when I was 17. Absolutely horrible experience where I ended up hallucinating.
---

80+ hours multiple times

Edit: total disclosure, amphetamines were involved lol

around 48 hours i went to full nights without sleep

48 hours at least. I might have gone 3 days once, I forget

Probably in the 30 hour range. Could barely keep my eyes open. No idea how some of you guys can do 80 hours.
---

Done several all-nighters in my college days at parties and things when I wouldn't go to bed until the next night, so around 36-40 hours.

In my early 20's i went around 50 hours one time, but I did get super sick after that.
---

I wonder how old @X-Men is that he thinks 18 hours is a long time. That's only a couple hours past a double shift. Lol

I was under the influence of powerful stimulant drugs. I could never do that sober.

What wat? They dont want peoples brains to have been altered in certain ways, it makes them problematic for the job somehow.

... is TC being serious about thinking less than 19 hours is even something to talk about? Most normal people do 16 or more daily.

I work overnights. When I get off on my last work night of the week, its not uncommon for me to stay up 20 hours or more so I can get some daylight. As far as my record, idk but probably not much more than 24 hours.

Around 34-35hrs. Slept like a baby afterwards.

---

70 hours

Hurray mania!

---

2 days.
---

I went 39 and a half hours once.

Thats how it was for me when I worked 3rd shift, it was just so hard to convince myself to fall asleep at 9am so Id usually end up staying up til like 6pm and then be up again at 10pm to get read for work

Probably about 25-30 hours.

When I was younger thanks to Gran Turismo 4 and the assistance of other legal stuff I pulled 5 days.

I heavily don't recommend it ever, because of what I do remember was being absolutely paranoid at my own hair trying to attack me and going into panics that it was instead a giant spider trying to kill me. There were also random hullucinations of bugs and melting spots.

I can see why they'd not let you join after it, because it did feel somewhat damaging. I believe afterwards I went to sleep for about 22-26 hours straight. My parents ofcourse were concerned and got onto me for it since they thought I went into a coma or died.

Now I only make it 30-40 if I desire.

Somewhere around 42 hours. We took a bus trip to NYC. After about a 12 hour day, by my estimation, we took what I definitely recorded as a 30 hour bus ride back. It shouldn't have taken that long but two of our busses broke down--one in Jersey, one in maybe Virginia?--and we had to wait for replacements. Then I slept for 30 hours straight.

I used to pull 38 hour days all the time when I was a kid. I would wake up at 6 and go to bed at 8, except Friday and Saturday nights. Also except for nights when I couldn't sleep at all. Then I would wake up at 6 and go to bed at 8 for a 38 hour day. I don't even remember being particularly sleepy. I remember my dad getting mad when he would find me in the living room watching TV at 4 in the morning though.
---

Somewhere around 60 hours, if I had to guess.

Bout 75 hours

Thanks, adderall

I've done 29 hours fairly often. I don't think I've ever done more than 40 hours.

Approximately 30 hours for New Years.

---

When I was a kid, I managed to stay up for about 3 days. Hallucinations began.

Now days, being over 30, I usually dont push myself past 15 to 18 hours. Though I can function on little sleep still. I usually just need about 5 hours or so to stay up for 18.

---

40 plus hours in a single stretch. That was a long time ago.

Recently I've gone something like 5 days on a few hours sleep throughout, probably 10-11. That was killer.
