59 hours i believe. And i was physically ill by the end of it, not to mention i totally screwed up my body clock. I'm never going through that again in my life.

It's not healthy to abuse your body like this!

around 63+ hrs during my early hardcore partying days.

3.5 days (to finish 4 projects in a row),
i started seeing dead people.

i've done 48 hours for school a few times but only once while partying.

longest was this summer probly around 88 hours
Did a bunch this summer that were over 48 hours
Its brutal on your body tho
You can even sleep that good after
sometimes it would take a week to get back to normal after.

That was exactly my point in another thread..

Only three days. It was during my last year in Engineering the week before my final senior design project was due. I wanted to die and the end of it. The only think worse then being up for three days is being up for three days and on said days, debugging assembly code.

9 days and it was not drug induced. i was working 12 hrs nightshifts and i have no idea what the fuck happened, i would come back home, take a shower and just coulnt go to sleep. but i was getting lotsa rest so it wasnt that bad till day 6 when i started seeing things. last day i looked so bad and i was acting really strange that my supervisor sent me home to go and see a doctor. i remember driving and thinking "fuck that i dont need a doctor" when i saw this truck in my lane heading towards me so i went off the road. needles to say there was no truck at all and i decided it would be a good thing to see a doc. i was diagnosed with some kind of insomnia, got shitload of pills and i finally went to sleep. took me some 3-4 days to recover.

and after all these years this shit comes back sometimes (when i work nightshifts) but its short ones, 2-3 days max.

This may sound sadistic, but there is almost a certain enjoyment I get out of the insanity that comes from a lack of sleep.

I believe the longest i have went was 56 hours... in a competition with one of my friends.. when we were like 15.. it was pretty fun...

about the staying awake for a week thing.. i'm pretty sure you don't die.. but there is a certain time period where if you pass without sleep your body will begin to produce its own milder form of LSD.. which is when all the hallucinations begin and then if you go fo a little longer then that the chemical just builds up and you can like go into cardiac arrest or something crazy like that.. so ppl sleep as much as you can!

My record is 73.5hrs

42hrs of crazy dancing and the rest sitting back and groovin to the music

The body does some weird things to you when you do this to it

My face felt numb, my body ached but i still moved, I got all quiet and happy, and then I just started to feel like I was too light and that I would float on air.

By hour 73...a headache set in and then I knew I had to crash...so I crashed clothes and all at a friends place holding onto the cat like a teady bear.
Messed up the balls of my feet and the heel real bad...was swollen for days after that

BTW...i did this completely sober and no added supplements

who needs stuff when your high on life

hence the "I know someone who..." in your earlier post?

me...just under 48 hours, I think...the weekend DannyT was last here.

After being at the Docks for 12 hours, enjoyed the "I'm going to match him hour for hour" marathon put on by RJ et. al on 2hp.ca...I was *done*.

I think I'd be near death if I was up for more than 2 days...artificial aids or not. These crystalheads who stay up for 3-4 days blow my mind

I did the same thing one time... it was the first time I stayed up all night and watched the sun come up. I had an orientation at a new job the next day at 10am, drank waaaaay too much coffee all night and was a mess. I was like 15 too.

I have to agree with this! Tons of great memories from the "I haven't slept in _ days" days.

My record was around 96 hours ... after my first Tiesto experience, then COZO, then family function, then a birthday, and it's always like that..one thing leads to another and before u know it... it takes 2 to drive..one to push the pedal and turn the wheel and the other to say stop and go lol! Definately NEVER doing that again though! Talk about loooong recovery!

Posted by dRale on Oct-29-2005 00:43:

90 hours is honestly hard to believe....wow
i am still going..and might pull another 12 hours

welcome to the music industry they tell me!

Posted by nadezhda on Oct-29-2005 00:48:

erm...maybies 35 hours or something. i can't remember.

frankly, i don't like it. it fucks with my head and i don't like feeling that way. AND i turn into bitchy mcbitcherson without sleep. obviously, i'm not as hardcore as some of you.

When I hit hour 70 I watched that Godzilla movie, plus I was kinda drunk. Scary shit!!

Posted by DigiNut on Oct-29-2005 01:20:

During final exam week in my last year of university (Elec Eng), I think I was up for about 2� days. I probably would have been better off with drugs, but it was actually just an assload of coffee and several double espressos.

Now I'm lucky if I can stay up 2 hours after the first yawn comes. I'll take sleep over CoZo any Sunday of the year.
