40+ Hours awake? (how long have you stayed up at one time?)

--- Quote from: Zingoleb on 25 Aug 2009, 16:25 ---73 hours. At the time I was literally staying up two days straight and sleeping an entire day at a time (my schedule was fucked). I was pretty incoherent by the third day, though. I was 15 at the time.

I know what you mean about being incoherent - I went to just past 70 hours, and started seeing neon trails off of everything that moved. It was very strange.

Man, people are describing their sleep deprivation times in terms like these and that shit never happened to me. I was just really hyper.

indeed. when i was 11 or 12, i used to see how long i could stay awake for. i think my record was 8 days with no chemical assistance, but generally i'd just pass out on the couch or something after about 3. i don't remember any hallucinations or any crazy shit like that, but i'd always get really hyper at around the 24hr mark. that was fun, and i suppose it's why i did it, but after about 36hr, it generally became a test of willpower, which was less fun.

I never had to work much at not going to sleep in my youth. I came up with all sorts of strange reasons to stay awake. The best one usually happened when my allergies were giving me Trouble. I'd take conscious control of my breathing, then fail to work out how to start doing it automatically again. I'd lie there for hours making myself breathe.

This sounds like an awesome idea for a poll! :laugh:

Yer welcome.

For me, not more than 24 hours. I'm not one for all-nighters or skipping nights - even if I am doing an "all-nighter", I'll go to sleep for about 3 hours in the middle of it, because otherwise I'm pretty useless, thus defeating the point of staying up all night to get things done. I have at times stayed up all night and then slept the following day, though.
I'm not very hardcore.
