Longest you have ever been awake?

[Nathan-the-Axe]

2 days for me, I used to go marathoning on MMO's alot, because I was a dumbass.

[Anamin]

23 and a half hours, trying to study for exams in college.

[Nathan-the-Axe]

Eh, that is not that good of an idea, marathon studying. You end up forgetting most of what you learn, and it blurs together.

But what do I know, I studied a grand total of four hours for my finals, all seven of them.

[f2akid]

I was just about to make this thread.

41 hours. Had college exams last year and for some reason didn't feel the urge to sleep towards the last few exams.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...36 hours. usually, at cons.

[Hara!]

...36 hours. usually, at cons.

This.

Most people had their limits at 36.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...after 36, i can't even function.

[Trefellin]

32-36 hours once, that seems average.


If I'm humorous when I'm tired, I must have been downright ****ing hilarious that day when I stayed awake for over 30 hours. I wouldn't remember though because I was totally spaced.

[Shiroiyuki]

I stayed up for three days once, during finals week. Had to, I procrastinate. Sure, I couldn't function on a molecular level by the time I finally crashed...but I did it! *waves weak arm to sky* yeeeaaaaaahhhhhhh

-_-

I don't even remember what it was for now :lol: I do remember that whole lack-of-sleep feeling though. Unpleasant.

[animeotaku99]

I use to stay up for about 36 hours on weekends. We would go wake around the woods by the river at night/early morning then go eat at Perkins/Denny's.
nowadays I need to be in bed by 11pm if I work the next day or 2am if I ahev friends over watching anime.

[Holy Knight]

40 hours last summer and that was after only sleeping 6 hours after having stayed up 32 hours. I couldn't sleep for some reason and still went in for two grueling work shifts.

[Neko Gundam]

38-39 hours.


...I was visibly shaking around the end of it. e_e

[Bernard_Monsha]

Seventy Eight hours.

[Trefellin]

Seventy Eight hours.

Boot camp... hell week?

[Tuna]

Three days, playing Super Mario World to 100%...
^_^

[boomsnapclap]

32 hours is my record...

Three days? You're crazy!

[Nathan-the-Axe]

Speaking of which, I can beat the original Super Mario Brothers in around fifteen minuets. This has nothing to add to the conversation, I just like to brag about it every now and then.

I bet i could stay awake all week. it will be the death of me but I could manage it, just give me something more entertaining than sleep and I'll be on it for 100 hours.

and if you ever say Finale Fantasy X 100% complete with no cheats or walk throughs I will most likely fall asleep before the first hour -_-

[Leader Desslock]

Given that I have severe sleep apnea, I've gone about 5 days without sleeping on a few occasions. Spending two days awake isn't even unusual for me any more.

I'm usually fine for about three full days awake. On the fourth day, I start losing cognitive functions and wouldn't be stupid enough to attempt to drive, because when sleep finally kicks in, it's like throwing a switch. On the fifth day, I'm pretty out of sorts.

[Onigiri]

The longest I've been awake was for 4 days.
I can't imagine having a severe sleeping disorder. That was just hellish.

[Jia]

3 days straight.
._.
Lots of drinking and junk food and FLCL.

[Donto_Koi]

Day and a half. Lot's of catching up on HW and then school, and finally sleeeeeep.

[DavenIII]

a little over 3 days myself, ...MMO... I did gain a few levels though.

[Ikari Warrior]

I had a 48 hour day where I slept 4 hours in the middle of it...

I guess 20 hours is the longest I've been awake. I slept 4 hours at the end of the one day, and then was awake another 20 hours. I seriously can't stay up for a full 24 hours, it's simply not possible for me.

[RecentMidget]

24 hours........
the Jack*** marathon.....
yeah....

[SaMaster14]

I"ve stayed up about 40 hours once. I woke up at 6am that morning and that night I couldn't get to sleep and I had school the next day and wen to bed at 10 that next night

[Nakey]

oh crap, damn timezones.... umm.......

From 7AM 28/06/2001 Australian Eastern standard time to 10PM 29/06/2001 British time

so i don't know how many hours that is >.>;

EDIT: works out to be about 48H straight.... damn...

[taily]

Three days, playing Super Mario World to 100%...
^_^

72 hours straight playing video games? can't stand more than 6, myself.

[FizzySid]

about 50? That was when my brother went missing...

[fujyoshi]

sheesh you people are insane @_@ I always get my sleep though but last week I spent 14 hours on RO roughly lvl grinding to 99 to transcend my wiz ._.

[shinri]

I don't keep track, since I routinely go over 30+ hrs whenever I have an overseas trip.

[superplough]

Probably about 40.

[Etchd]

32 hours, straight, all for making projects.

[Kagura]

Well, there was a time frame that things alot of things were going on and I had no time or anything to sleep so with the help of caffeine pills and "Rocket Fuel" (SoBe No Fear Energy Drink), it was 5 days for me of NO sleep. Let me tell you. I felt like S**t after that! :P I also have a sleep disorder and some nerve issues in my spine too so that help keep me awake at night. Even when I do sleep though, I can only sleep for a few hours like 2 or 3. Most sleep time I can get in a night (or day) now and then is about 5.
