Well im just sitting here, on my 33rd hour of being awake. I think this is a bit odd being able to still be awake, still being able to sdo things normaly. I think it might have been the EggNog and Rum, i duno but anyways how long have you fellers, ladies stayed up for before?
38 is my longest, 8 am saturday morning till 10 pm sunday nite, 2 of the crazyest days off my life.

I havn't had any stimulants thow, such as red bull or cofee, i just have rum and eggnogg
2 nights without sleep
but i think the worse feeling was
when i had 4 hrs sleep in 3 days during the last
week of semester at uni
which included a 36hr straight stint at uni doing work
farkin last minute reports
i got home and literally fell asleep midway through eating dinner
nothing 17hrs of sleep doesnt fix

probably about 48 hrs
Got up in Montpellier on a wednesday, went to sleep Thursday night in Melbourne (include 10 hr time difference) and that's 48 hrs
if you include the 15 mins "sleep" i got on the aeroplane it doesn't work but since it was literally 15 minutes and it makes it all the more impressive... i don't :)

longest stretch without any sleep was just over 65 hours. you DO start hallucinating after 60, but it's not really very good.
least sleep was 4 hours in 7 days. that was during a work stretch on a research cruise. we were only allowed on site for 7 days, and everyone worked their asses for the whole week. one of the girls got less sleep than me, and could barely talk english by the end of it. looking thru her logs for the last 24 hours was pretty funny.
close to 40 hours...I got up at 9 in the morning stayed awake all day and at 11 at night i went (i hadnt been asleep since 9 in morning at thise point) i went to this "big night out thign" were u just do heaps of stuff like rockclimbing and sutff all night till 7 in the morning. When i got home i had to leave for a 5 hour trip in the car to a holiday place and i couldnt sleep in the car so i was awake till like 10 that night. I think that is around 37 hours but a but less if u include the quick few minutes were i attempted to sleep.
I've done 3 days straight, woke up at 5am on a Wednesday and went to school camp, we got home late Friday and I crashed out about 8pm Friday evening.
Went through a fair shitload of guarana supplements, coke, and tea to keep me awake. That included alot of physical activity too... who needs drugs when you've got a brain stretched to the max!

Are we talking with or without assistance here?
With: 6 days.
Without: 4 days.
Recovering from the 4 days was FAR worse.

About 2 and a hlf days also with no food. Started seeing things and talking to myself I had Hallucinations of a black dog that kept appearing in my perferral vision, and shadows moving around. I had a deadline that i had to meet.
In the end i couldnt stop talking to myself and couldnt work anymore.
It took ages to get to sleep but in the end i crashed hard. I cant remember how many coffee i drank but it was crazy.
i have gone 24 hours straight up gays....

My best would probably be about 40 hours. we have this competition at uni to see who can stay at uni the longest (I do industrial design and we have some big presentations to get done) and the record is 56 hours straight working in the computer lab. now thats crazy.

Once I stayed awake for over five and a half hours!
Actually my best is about 50 hours over a work weekend. A mate once had to work through the night repairing a racecar that was crashed in practice. But the team was sponsored by Red Bull. By 5am (15 cans later) he was in the medical centre with some 'side effects'
i've done a whole weekend with a drive down to sydney and back.
also I don't think I slept that much the week I was in Pamps for the running of the bulls coz by the end of the week I was pretty much incoherent and that wasn't just coz of all the sangria I consumed

7.30am Friday morning until 9.30pm Monday night. That was some intense shit.
Went to school Friday, went back to a mates place and hung out for a while. Went to another mates 18th, where we stayed up till 6 in the morning. Went home, showered, ate breakfast, went to work at the bikeshop until 5. Went home, showered, went to another party. The crazy shit started to happen when we were driving in between parties...we were going down this desolate road with grass fields either side...I started hallucinating and seeing kangaroo's in the middle of the road. Everyone was laughing as I was yelling "SLOW DOWN! WATCH OUT FOR THE FUCKING ROO'S!". I realised what was going on and spent the rest of the night asking people if they were real or I was just seeing them.
Came home around 9am, showered, went to work at a different bike store. Got home around 4 and went for a ride (BMX at this time) until about 8. When I got home I realised I had a pretty major English exam due the next day...so that's what I did till about 6.30 Monday morning. Had a really, really cold shower, went to school. Didn't sleep, but I wasn't awake either. I was doing this strange swaying thing and it felt like I'd smoked like 20 cones...
Came home from school, and it took me that long to calm down enough to sleep. Didn't go to school Tuesday...
86 hours.

pyrotek is the king of this, he's stayed up 6 days straight once, I've maxxed 2 and a half on schoolies with him, but I was too girly to compete with he's inhuman energy levels.
i splept for 26 hours straight once and i wasent in a coma...kinda bizarre acctually. I wasent on anything but i had a 40 hr day before that and i was crook.
