The longest I've ever gone without sleep was three and a half days. I was trying to read Stephen King's "Stand" in one sitting.

Without sleeping? Just 4 hours... I can't live without sleeping...

bullshit

Most likely 36 hours; I don't know how people can stay up so long. I can barely pull an all nighter because I eventually end up falling asleep if I'm doing anything besides standing up in the middle of the night.

I wonder what's the world record is for the longest without sleeping...

Now that guy is out of his mind... He must of looked like total shit for staying up that long.

I think the longest I've gone is something like 55-60 hours in a row, although in that entire week I got something like eight hours of sleep total.

About 34 hours and I started mildly hallucinating.
Mostly just purple shadowy figures dancing on the wall. I also had a panic attack that night.
I usually sleep ten hours or so a night.

Like two days

I have managed to go like 4 days and that was because I kept drinking black coffee like crazy to keep me away. I actually had finals and my thesis presentation that very same week and I could not bear the stress.

I also had to drive myself that whole week and I almost got into a car accident because I was so tired I kept dozing off. Looking back into it, that was amazingly stupid and irresponsible for me to do.

Nowadays, I don't think I can go more than a day without sleeping. Fuck that.

3 days.

Twenty-something hours. It's usually the day before I start my journey back home via several airplanes. I figure I'll be tired enough to just sleep the hours away, but it doesn't work.

LOL, i can't believe you thought that your life was a gameshow, thats EXACTLY what happened to me after 4 days too. I actually walked down the street barefoot in my ninjutsu outfit, then ran up a hill, (there was loads of people there) i thought we were all going to get beamed up into a spaceship. When i changed my mind, i slid down the hill, and went off to marry the queen of scotland. I quickly got escorted from the palace by security, and when i then went over the road thinking i would prefer the job of prime minister of scotland, and take my rightful place in paliament i was quickly "escorted " by the police to the local hospital. Turns out nothing i thought was real. Damn. anyway everything was fixed after a week of normal sleep.

~ 30 hours. It's my job.

That's horrible. Hope pay is good.

When I was a kid, I got some pretty bad nightmares (at least for a little kid), I went almost a week without sleep. Most recently, about 3 days.

24 hours is my record and I plan to keep it that way. I hate not sleeping.

A little over two days I think, so like 50 some hours iirc. I didn't hallucinate I just felt like shit, very little energy, physically uncomfortable, reduced cognitive abilities, as well as the dry, burning eyes. I can deal with up to around 35 hours pretty easily but after that it starts getting pretty tough to stay awake.

Sleep deprivation isn't good. I've easily gone 5 days without sleeping. I didn't stay up purposely, I just couldn't sleep. I even banged a bottle of Melatonin, I still couldn't sleep. When you stay up that long, you start getting hallucinations. I normally have problems with sleeping, but for the past week, I've been doing pretty good. I consider falling asleep at 2 am good...

i think something like 38 hours

but who's counting? hyuk hyuk

amphetamine binge, i eventually became psychotic until i went to sleep

Ugh oh my god yeah I did that and it's almost definitely the worst thing that ever happened to me I was going fucking insane and crying and my mum had to turn all the lights in the house on for me, it was so embarrassing

Never binge never again

yea psychosis is pretty fucking scary aye

it's a lot easier to handle when you're just laying in bed with your eyes closed waiting for it all to either go away or for you to just fall asleep

I was on a school trip and I had to spent the night with some other kids in a small house, the fuckers wouldn't go to sleep and kept me awake until one hour after midnight, I eventually moved to another small house and fell asleep right away.

Two days,i could stay up longer but i have the urge to hide and i fell asleep in my hiding spot

A little over 50 hours I think. It happened because I had a really bad ear infection and I also had a bit of a cold/stuffy nose and I hate going to sleep with my nose blocked

I have probably done it about 2 days in a row but that was when i was younger.

about 48 hours if not working

about 36 hours for work.

4 days. I saw shadow people and it was weird. I was pretty paranoid.

No more than 2 days. I've never tried to do it for as long as I can. I love sleep too much, I'll often do an all-nighter if working on an assignment or playing video games but I'll sleep the next night.
