    70~ hours. Not recommended.

    After 24 hours I feel as if I "wake up" a second time. Later on I feel so tired that you can just tell it's dangerous. I don't remember any hallucinations last time but I started making A LOT more mistakes and "nodding off."

    40-ish hours, I think. Was awake for 12 hours before a 7pm flight, didn't sleep at all for the 17-hour flight and 3-hour stopover, then got back into Australia at 10am so waited until the sun went down, 8 or 9 hours, before going to sleep so as to not fuck up my sleep pattern.

    When on my stopover, somewhere around 24 hours without sleep, I took a photo of myself in front of the duty-free vodka looking miserable.

    About 3 years ago I was called into work on a Saturday for a big outage.

    First one I worked 18 hours, and the second one about 20 hours. Considering I was alway away when I was called, I was up for about 30 hours each time.


    The upside is that I was an hourly contractor as the time. So I had about 40 hours of overtime on that paycheck. Man that was a sweet paycheck.

    One night when I had lots of work and studying to do I went to bed at 4-something-am and got up at 6-something. I hate it when the birds are chirping and the sun is rising and you are finishing up your homework. I don't think I have ever stayed up for the entire night.

    Until about six am. I think I was writing. Completely lost track of time and the sun was coming up when I fell asleep.

    I've got insomnia, so I regularly don't sleep. (I didn't sleep last night or the night before, technically.) Usually it's not bad, like >3 hours of sleep over 3 days is when I start to feel it.

    This one time in university, I didn't sleep for 13 nights. At 14 nights Health Canada recommends hospitalization, and honestly, I probably would've needed it.

    Staying up till 3:00 is the longest I've ever been able to stay up. I crashed and still woke up at 8:00 the next day lol.

    Around 50 hours and I had slept 5 hours before it. I started at around 8 am and finished the work at 17.00 the day after, a few minutes before I needed to hand it out. I had a flight at 11 pm and arrived home at around 5 am and it took me around 5 more hours to fall asleep. I was surprisingly ok after it was all over...

    48 hours (or something like that). Got a little too involved with a novel I was writing (and am still editing) and just forgot to go to bed. It was two days. It was insane. It was awesome. I got so much done on that novel. Slept forever afterwards, but it was worth it.

    36 hours. I ended up falling asleep for about 5 minutes at around 4pm, but I got a phone call from someone who needed help carrying some things to their house, so I got up. I was completely exhausted by that point - and as I was crossing the road I swear I was 'out of it' for a few seconds. It felt like I was having an out-of-body experience.

    I fell asleep later that day at around 8pm.

    There's no way I could stay awake for 48 hours or more. I value sleep too much. Even 24 hours is too much for me.

    I was up for like 36 hours and I started seeing things. I think it was in about grade 8, we pulled an all-night we during a sleepover and went golfing the next day. It was rough. :frowning2:

    37 hours, which was this year. It was the last night of an event halfway across the country, so I pulled an all-nighter and I couldn't get to sleep on the plane afterwards. I can't manage without at least 5 hours of sleep in a night; all-nighters always feel so unsafe and I regretted not getting that sleep for around three days.

    28 hour labour after already being up for 14 hours. Not fun. Apparently towards the end I was telling everyone to bugger off between contractions :grin:

    72 hours. No matter what I did, I couldn't sleep. I could close my eyes and rest, but that's as good as I got. Mind you, I was in a lot of physical pain.

    I think 36? I've gone weeks on only a couple of hours of sleep a night, but with absolutely none, I think it was 36 or so ^.^

    At 30 hours I tried walking up the stairs. Failed. Fell asleep. My mom had to call my oldest brother to carry me up the stairs.

    ~36 hours, I then fell asleep for about 1.5 hour, woke up and went on to being awake for another 6 hours. University... such good times.
