What's the longest amount of time you've gone without sleep?

Couldn't find something like this in the first four pages of the Pool Room, sooo...
hopefully i'm not blind

I'm generally curious because I just pulled an all-nighter practicing Melee techskill. lmao

Anyways, the longest I've been without sleep is a full 24 hours and counting. I'll edit my time after I crash and burn later today or tomorrow.

I'm slowly crashing. I'm gonna go ahead and say 44-45 hours for me.

42 hours - Playing counter-strike source almost continuously on the first and second day of summer break when I was 16.

38 hours - Studying a full day and half for finals plus trying to finish Senior design project (I was in one of those groups where I ended up doing all the work)

32 hours - Getting Fallout 3 on a weekend. That weekend was gone. Slept 14 hours woke up and back to classes.

For me I can stay up for 24 hours no problem, but once I reach the 30+ hour mark I starting showing severe signs of sleep deprivation. Delirium, hallucinations, weakness....

I now sleep twice a day and have been for the past 5 years (4 hours and ~1.5 hours), it's so much better and I never have to set alarm clocks. Having to stay awake a whole 16 hours and sleeping 8 to be interrupted by an alarm isn't ideal or natural for Humans IMO.

30 hours, since I had to prove to my sister I could go one night without sleeping







It wasn't worth it

Somewhere in the 40-hour range. PW:AA is a fun game. Amusement parks are fun too.

One week.
Not kidding.
ONE ENTIRE WEEK.
In fact, I was nearly sent to the hospital because of my obsession with Smash 4. This happened three months ago.
Thankfully, I'm not doing that again.
I would at most, stay awake for one day.

But I can stay awake for at least 36 hours at a time.

40 hours. Had an all-night gaming session with friends. Ironically, I'm usually the one that crashes first, but this time I was the only one that stayed up all night due to my determination to beat Resident Evil 4. Didn't even feel tired in the morning.

20 hours. I always try to sleep no matter what happens, so yeah. As for the cause, hmm.. perhaps it's the typical insomnia stuff? Don't know.
