What's the longest you've ever stayed up?
- Thread starter Syeekoh
- Start date
Willpower, normally cuz I have to. Sometimes though, I just can't goto sleep. I layed in bed for like 6 hours last night not being able to goto sleep. I would almost drift off, but then I would think of something and get nervous (today's swim divisionals) or get an adrenaline rush (today's swim divisionals) or start laughing (thinking about Goldmember) or something that would just keep me from just relaxing.

Ah...I don't sleep to well.
During the school year, I average about 3 hours of sleep per
night.
Recently, my sleeping habits have been sporatic at best.
I usually head to bed between 2 and 4 AM.
About once every week or two don't sleep at all. That's
pretty rough.
I dunno what the longest interval has been, but I rarely get any
good sleep.

hmmm...
yeah, it's usually willpower for me, too. my parents have beeen trying lots of sleep related drugs like sominex and melatonin on me, but they just don't work
but this time i'm trying to stay up as long as I possibly can, so, i'm using artificial means(bright lights, caffeine, sugar, dayquill, anything that would keep me up). This'll be my first attempt since last summer where i only lasted 26 hours.
god****it...why do i have to be 15...

Im not a stay awake person, I've only been awake for like, what... 20 hours max? lol... who knows, butttttttttt Sleep? well thts different! >=D
I can tell you a story of how a nice bed ruined my life!
The longest I have ever stayed up was 51 hours. I felt high the entire time.
One time though, while camping, I stayed up for a day. Then I went asleep at 6:00am along with 5 other people. When I woke up I ate breakfast and went right back to sleep. I woke up to take down the tents and help with clean up for about 10 minutes and went to sleep fo another 20 minutes. I woke up fr 20 seconds to go to the car. I fell asleep for a 1 hour drive. When we came to my Grandma's house, I stayed up for about 30 minutes until being bored of playing cards. I went to sleep til everyone came at 5:00. I ate some dinner and went to play video games with my cousins for about an hour until we were watching TV. I fell asleep til 8:00. I woke up and got in a car to go home and stayed up the whole ride. Then I went home to watch TV and fell asleep til 10:30am.
The day before on the camping trip we were doing stuff with bonfires and making some smoke come out of sticks and inhaling it. We were gathering sticks, twigs, logs and cut down parts of trees for firewood. We had a fire that lasted about 10 hours. We were swimming the whole day and catching crabs and eating them. We had to cook our own food. We also had to stay up because when the 3 girls went to sleep, we put candy liquid stuff on 'em, put whipped cream on their face (the ole beard and moustache gag), and we covered the last one with pillows, blankets and sand so tight that she couldnt get out when she woke up.

72 hours with four hours of sleep -- as a writer for the school publications, I was required to see through the April Fools Issue's completion. The issue was a 50-page satire magazine which the staff is forced to coalesce in the matter of days. I usually need at least 7 hours to function properly, but at 4:30 AM that day I was writing supposedly "witty" feature articles (yes, in that tortured, humorless room) and drawing some crummy illustartions and correcting stupid grammatical errors. The next day happened to be sports day, and the day after that, a major test day.
Bah... I can't sustain long without much sleep, so that's my (painful) personal record.

about 60 hours, when I was in 4th grade....I have no idea why I did that...after staying awake so long, I slept for 15 hours.
Gonna get off of the 666 postage.. heh
During the school year, I'm up until 3 or later normally. If I stay up until 5 or later, I'll just stay awake. Sometimes, I do choose to sleep in.. but when I am smart enough to go to class, I'll get up around 7. Today was the first day I slept in for at least a month thanks to swimming. Summer, average of 5 hours of sleep a night.

The longest I've stayed awake was probably just 24 hours. It's not that I couldn't stay awake longer, but that I didn't want to. Staying up for a long time is definitely not healthy. Much of the stress we experience comes from a lack of sleep, I believe.
But enough of that. Here's an interesting historical fact: Napoleon Bonaparte once believed that sleep was just a bad habit that wasted time, and he tried to prove it by (what else?) staying awake. But he didn't last for more than two nights, and he needed several extra days to recover.
The moral of that little story: If you're trying to militarily dominate Europe, be sure to catch some Zs.

146 hours in counting. BEAT THAT!!!! <someone says 200 hours> D'oh!!!!
When we were coming back from Germany on 1/1/00, we got up at 6:00 in the morning (12:00 EST) to see the ball drop over Times Square and then race to catch our flight in Frankfurt. So, we got on the plane and flew the 14 hours against the Jet Stream to Philly. Ironic that we landed in the only airport in the nation affected by the Y2K bug.....
Flights got cancelled left and right, even our flight home. So, we flew to Charlotte to get a connecting flight. We were stuck in Philly for 2 hours, then a 2 hour flight to Charlotte. We got stuck there for 3 hours, then the 1 hour fligth back home. It took us another hour to drive home where I promptly fell asleep, at about 12:30.
So, about 24.5 hrs. in total.

24 hours when i was 11.
I sleep very well. The longest I've stayed has been 20 hours...perhaps. I doubt even that long. I'm not one to stay up. I've never pulled an all nighter, and don't plan on it.

^Aw, come on! It's fun!
I've stayed up all night before, and that was my only time too. Actually, it started on Friday night, and on Saturday morning I go to this skating session, and then stay for the next also, and all that goes till atleast 3:30 or 4:00 PM. After that my mom took us to Rite-Aid to get some developed pictures. I was nearly wide awake, but I was tired, you know? Then later, before I hit the second day (I guess I stayed up for a day and a half), I fell asleep. I just wanted sleep.... zzzzzzzZZZZzZZzzz.
It was fun when the night finally passed. I gotta do that again!

I fall asleep way too easily to sustain any record, even this time pulling an all-nighter to finish off a design project. A friend would do the rough transfer for each part in our contraption onto AutoCAD, ICQ the file to me, and I was reponsible for dimensioning and making fine adjustments and other corrections. I would then pass the file onto the next person for more processing.
Basically the process took 7 hours, in between parts I took 5-10 minute naps on my desk and be awakened by the "INCOMING FILE TRANSFER" announcements.
Then there was my trip to HK last summer, a nice... many many hour flight that took me to the other side of this planet. I remembered the horrors of jet lag on trips when I was younger, so this time on the day of my flight I set my watch to HK local time. I stayed up all during the flight, (complete with tenured flight attendents, synthetic food, and a projection TV with its red gun nonfunctional. I did have a clancy novel so that helped mucho) and arrived running on 25 hours, to 9:00pm local. Collapsed into a bed, and awoke at 10am fully adjusted. Works better than any drug.
Anywhoo sleep deprivation only serves to lower your brain functions... That why you people like to stay up on pupose?
