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

<< < (16/20) > >>

Kazukagii:
Stayed up two days studying for a psychology final once. Prof gave us a textbook that I never read, just took notes from the lectures and that was enough to earn me an A in the class. Then a few days before the final Prof tell us half the test will cover our knowledge of book only material. I stayed up for two days straight reading and rereading the book, looking for everything I hadn't learned. Then the test came and it turned out my Prof lied, none of the book only material was on the test. I hated him yet utterly respected him at the same time.

Then I went to bed.

J:
yeah, psych professors do that kind of thing.

i was invited to a friend's all night party like 10 years ago, and then after that (it was 10 am of the following morning) most of us were still there, so we went to get some breakfast, and after that we had lunch at this one guy's house (he had a swimming pool and it was summer).
After dinner, still at the same dude's place, some friend of his invited us all to a night club's big opening party which, again, took all night.
When we were leaving there, this weird mutant we met at the night club took us to an afterparty where everyone was on something. It was kind of creepy, so we left in a hurry after a couple of hours.
From there it was on to someone else's house where we took over his playstation for the better part of that day.
Around nighttime, i hooked up with a girl we picked up at some point during the last day or two (all along, we were losing people and getting new ones). I was in no condition for a date, but I must have done alright (or she probably just figured "whatever").
And it was after that night long outing that i finally crashed.
I slept for a whole day, according to my parents.

This whole thing started on a friday, I had woken up probably around 9 or 10 in the morning, so i'm guessing i was up for 3 days or whereabouts.

Somewhere in the 36-40 hour range.

When I was a little kid (still believed in Santa little), I would stay up all night on December 23rd so that I could go to be REALLY EARLY on Christmas Eve so Santa would be sure to come.

I estimate it was 43 hours or so... up all day then suddenly informed at 9pm that I had to move out of these peoples' house the next day. I decided to start packing & moving right then... Drove 1st load to Storage 4am, unloaded, came back 9am, packed & moved all day (pushing myself, under strict deadline to get everything out by 3pm) left with 2nd (& last, thank God) load 2pm, unloaded slowly (was doing everything slowly by then) didn't sleep til after midnight.  

I should mention and thank adderall for its excellent help staying alert, motivated, and moving, although after awhile, it's no fun anymore.  I learned a hard lesson - I had brought too much stuff to a temporary room.

Started seeing movements in peripheral vision, seeing people at side of road that turned out to be signs, fenceposts. I'm very visual anyway, not surprising my hallucinations were too.

It's not pleasant after awhile; I guess our good neurotransmitters get depleted, and as someone else said, the subconscious fears and anxieties start leaking through, due to the brain's filter(s) not working as well.  I thank Lexapro for valuable help with the emotional arena.

I only slept a few hours (darn!) - felt lousy all next day, til got a good nights sleep that night.
