What's the longest you've been asleep/awake?

There are two times that are closed to being tied.

#1 was during the Fall of 2004. I was up the previous entire night to work on some projects/prepare for some examinations. I think I got up at 6:30ish that morning and went through until the next afternoon. At that time, I was exhausted, but thought "well, we just gotta finish our project...a few minor things and I'll be done". No such luck. Turns out we had a major problem with our program/my partners were more focused on their own business than the specs for the project, so they waited until the last minute to finish it off. That led me until about 4 the next morning in which I knew that I had to go home to rest or else risk my life and others while driving home. That was about 46 hours.

2.) The other time was a recent trip back to the States. This one is far harder for me to calculate now due to the time differences. My flight was not until 4 in the afternoon. However, due to the excitement for my visit, I woke up around 7 that morning. There were also several delays...actually, one that had a domino effect on the scheduling of the rest of my flights. There was also a trip home, with meeting up with peeps along the way. All in all, by the time I got home, I had been up for 41 hours. Amazingly, I said "Well, if I wait 8 more hours, I can go to bed without the worry of jet lag". I fell asleep 4 hours later, but only for about an hour and a half, and then stayed up another six or seven. Oh, and amazingly enough, I had a nice cold during this entire time (that gets bonus points, right).

As for longest I have slept...ouch, I don;'t sleep all that much. I think the longest was twelve hours.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
