You guys are out of control!!

Last night i was up until 6am drinking on a pub crawl and i thought i was proud of myself and my staying power.

When i read all your replies, that really isn't much to be proud about.

On a side note, i got to see Australia win gold in the swimming at about 5am.

wake up friday morning... go to work till 5pm... go out to this club i used to dance for on fri night, have about 6 pills.. go back to a friends.. stay up smoking weed.. no sleep.. go to workon saturday till 2pm... then go straight to sheffield.. han g with sum friend for a while until it was time to go to gatecrasher.. have about 10-15 pills and some speed.. that finished at 6am sunday monring... then go to insomniacz straight after GC.. that finished at 12 noon on sunday... then go to a pub where all the crasherkids hang out, have a few beers in there, back to a feriends house smoke sum weed.. then stay awake ready to ctach the last bus home at 8pm sunday night.. straight to bed then up for work at 7am again monday morning.. completely fucked me up tho doing this for like 2 years.. kinda glad i dont do it no more

Goodness Jay, I used to have weekends very similar to that, except my partying would begin on Thursday and end on Sunday night. Although my weekend would be punctuated with small amounts of sleep, 1-2 hours here and there, for a total of 4-5 hours for the weekend. Kinda glad I don't do it anymore either...but there are times I look back and just GRIN.

The longest I've ever been up was from a Thursday morning 6am to a Sunday morning, approx 4am. Nowadays, my old ass can barely make it through a normal day without a little nappy-nap.

Lol, out of control is what I did this weekend... Thursday - Armin @ Crobar, NY ... Friday - House Party [didnt get home until 6PM the next day] ... Saturday/Today - Another House Party [Im still up]

I did all this on a heavily sprained ankle, which I injured Weds playing basketball.

Just over 60 hours for a mate's b'day weekend back in 2002 (Ste off here actually.) More recently, I think I was approaching a similar figure for the Love Weekender in Berlin, but not quite as an impressive amount. By the end of it I started seeing things (non-drug assisted). It was quite exhilirating really.

Posted by -=M=- on Aug-15-2004 23:17:

longest i've stayed awake without assistance was 4 days when me and my mate got ffx and played it thru over about 3 days... we spent an additional 6 hours at the local cyber cafe playing cs and drinking copious amounts of coke

Posted by Rrrize on Aug-15-2004 23:21:

I drove to CA from NY basically by myself because my other 2 passengers had no knowledge of a stick shift. I basically drove straight only stopping for gas/bathroom etc... I stayed up from Friday 9am before leaving later that night to Sunday around 7pm....

Around 70 hours, it was during finals week last year, worst week ever for me...
I had 2 projects due, 2 presentations and 2 finals in 1 day

Posted by spec on Aug-15-2004 23:38:

10 days.

I was a fucking wreck.

Posted by -=M=- on Aug-15-2004 23:51:

nice

i got a journal of my sleeping patterns from december 26 thru to jan 26 while i was also working at a nightclub (this is all without assistance - worked out that i had a grand total of 24 hours sleep over the 30 days including 1 night which i had 15 hours

weirdest thing was after that i didnt really need much sleep

It depends on what you call "sleeping". In my sophomore year of high school, I was playing so much Counter-Strike each night that I was only snagging about four hours of shallow sleep. It wasn't even really sleep, though. I was a zombie for about six days. A patch had just come out for CS, though, and everything was awesome for about a week because there were no working hacks, yet.

God, I miss Counter-Strike.

Around 50 hours I think, on the back of a perticulary intense clubbing weekend involving & then having to escort a friend to hospital after he was attacked by some drunken twats, spending all night in there with him as I couldn't get through to his gf via phone

I then had to pull an early shift at work. See Fundy's post in the Sleep in thread about signs of sleep depravation. I couldn't keep my eyes open no matter how hard I tried, I was having trouble seperating reality from these mad mini dreams I kept having and couldnt concentrate on what I was writing & ended up writing mad gibberish

Needless to say I called in sick the next day and slept in for a long long time

Posted by G`Dave on Aug-16-2004 07:58:

69 hours for sure.. but there was about an hour that I can't remember what happened.. so its possible I fell asleep standing up or something. But if I didn't actually sleep then, its 73 hours.

i did about 8 days straight studying for a final exam while on stupid ammounts of dexadrin and ritalin.......

Posted by montana on Aug-16-2004 12:15:

Posted by trewqy on Aug-16-2004 13:58:

3 days. Went on a fishing trip and then partied for the next 2 days.

A shitload of redbull and coffee helped me through this.I slept for the next 2 days straight.Sweet Life.

I just can't imagine that's actually an effective way of studying.. My mind gets blurred after a few hours, and after a day of studying, I really need my sleep..

Did you really pick up anything those last few days? I can't imagine.

most ive managed is nearly 60 hours completely sober, and the reality or lack of it freaked me out totally and i was drifting all the time and slept for a good 20 hours after lol
