I went ~96 hours... with about.. 8 hours of sleep interspersed throughout that time. But the longest I've gone without shutting my eyes... probably 45 hours
to add to this thread, i really couldn't tell you how long is the longest i stayed up.
that's probably because i don't remember what happened.
that boa new years was pretty long and i did stay to the very end because i doooo love c&c.

I either walk a lot during the day to various places, or I'm so tired mentally from school. I think the longest I've gone is about 30-36 hours a few times...but then I end having a marathon 18 hour sleep session. It's horrible on your heart, brain and immune system. |
11 days? damn...that's something few people could do. I feel like shit if I don't get 8-9 hours of daily sleep so ugh..
4 days...done three times this year.....
its a killer...first i was like woah...i just stayed up for 4 days.....then it happened again...and AGAIN....
by the third time i figured it was time for a change in my life...
i dont think ill ever do it again (unless i go to ibiza, wmc or other such music crazy atmospheres ever....just cuz i haven't yet )
several times I've pushed it to the absolute limit:
1st time :
year 1 of engineering at mac. Up for 3 straight days, drank a crapload of coffee, and it caught up to me quickly and my work suffered. The more I stayed up, the less productive I became, and then was forced to stay up later, etc....judgement really does go hand in hand with sleep, and lack of sleep is a bad idea. I was running on so much adrenaline by the end I couldn't get to sleep, and a girl on my floor gave me some melatonin sleeping pills, doubling the doseage figuring I was 'a big guy'. 45 mins alter, I could barely lift my math textbook back to my room to get to bed. Went to sleep in the coma position, didn't wake up from that night till morning the second day afterward. My roomate had thought I'd literally died, but my body just completely shut down and I couldn't wake myself. Worst thing was having to go to the bathroom immediately upon regaining consiousness.
2nd time:
year 2 engineering physics, during the midterm time around thanksgiving. I had 5 midterms, 6 assignments, and 3 labs in 10 days totalling very significant portions of my marks on a number of courses. Had 3 hours sleep in 5 days, with only 3 full meals to go along with it. The extreme lack of sleep and food caused me to fail a couple of the midterms, without question. By the end, I was hallucinating, flat out hallucinating to the point where I saw 'underpants gnomes' from a specific south park episode. I even started singing the corresponding song that went along with that episode, and was in uncontrollable fits of laughter because I was literally losing my mind. The entire week following, my housemates stole some of my underwear and hung it from the ceiling of the living room to emphasize how crazy I became. No sleeping pills were necessary after that bout with insomnia though.

you guys are freakin nut bags man, what the fuck? GET SOME FUCKIN SLEEP MAN!!! 
longest for me is nothing compared to that crazy shit...just woke up for a 7am shift...crazy party that nite, allniter, surprisingly wasn't tired and stayed up the whole day and basically dropped dead around 11-12am the following night...so i'd say thats a little over 40. i have no idea how the FUCK you guys can do two full nites in a row though, don't worry, the clubs aint goin anywhere...and if u guys do this for school, then maybe you shouldn't leave every essay of your whole term in every course to get done in one week 
...the only reason i'm in at 11pm on a friday right now, is i'm procrastinating on an essay...ahwell, back to work.

Actually I just remembered that there was a time in my 3rd year where I was awake for 5 days straight (4 nights). That wasn't intentional though, just had really wicked insomnia, there was "rest" involved. It was strange, after the 3rd night I didn't even really feel it anymore, and I was actually still able to function. I could never stay up that long if I actually wanted to, though...
3.5 days! then i slept

Wow!!!
Ehm, I think my record is something like 40 hours, I donno if I could have made it longer tho, and i don't really know if I would have wanted to either cause i remember feeling pretty shite 
Well not without sleeping per se but I've worked all week and probably gotten all of 4 hours of sleep each night this week.
longest ive been up was prolly about 48 hours. I actually wouldn't have minded staying up longer...its just that I was alone and had nothing to do..
I'm sure if I was with a group of ppl and we had more .. *ahem* substances to accompany us..I definitely would have been awake for so much longer.
36 hours is the most for me. Im a sleepy person and dont see going past that unless im getting paid lots of money

At work and on my game today, tho!
72 hours - one time only affair. NEVER again.....I was speaking in tones of Krisinese and I was the only fluent linguist.
Other than that, I sleep after 48 no matter what - my brain is precious, oh so precious.
