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

The last time, it was like about 42 hours. I was hanging out with my pals before graduating high school and we stayed up until about 1 a.m.

All went to sleep at that time but me. Not only I have insomnia, but for some reason, my body started to itch. I stayed awake the whole, struggling on not to scratch any parts of my body.

The bad news is that the next day was the photo shoot day. That means I didn't have time for any nap, and by the time my itch disappeared completely, it was 7 in the morning.

So the next day I was like exhausted completely, I ran over a bike (not the bike ran over me), injured my feet, and I also kicked a cabinet, breaking my own finger's nail.

When I arrived home, it was 4 p.m., so I took a quick bath and go to sleep quickly, ignoring dinner.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

38 hours is the longest I've stayed awake. Whenever my friend stays over at my house we try to stay up 24 hours staright. I had started a new game of Final Fantasy VII. We took turns playing the game (ie I kill one boss, he gets the next, than I take over again). I remember that I took over right after the first disc, where you have to go through the ice cave with the two-headed Dragon boss. Before I knew it, my friend is dead to the world, and I guess I was adrenaline locked from lack of sleep and horribly addicted to the game, more addicted than I should have been, cause I personally don't think much of the game itself. Actually on second thought, this might be why I don't really like the game... I eventually couldn't stay up much later after a certain point in the game (can't remember what part now) and I think my friend was still asleep, so I believe my sister took over and eventually finished the game while I was asleep for like 10 hours striaght.

God times, good times. Now my friend's in Uni so I never see him anymore.

Now the longest I've ever slept is something like 14 hours. It was probably a few months back. I work at PetCo and when we get our supplies on Mondays we stay until 12am. The previous day (Sunday) I had an early shift (like 10am early for me) and I didn't sleep very well that night since there was some movie out that me and my friends saw and then we usually just hang out like idiots afterwards. So maybe I got home at like 5am, but for me theres a time where you get a second wind, and you're so tired that you don't realize you're tired at. I had reached that point so I didn't actually sleep until like 8am. I slept for maybe 5 hours before the dreaded 5-12am shift, which is a lot of hard work as well (shelving 40 pound dogfood). As soon as I got off and went home I fell asleep, and didn't wake up for around 14 hours. I had the weirdest dreams too, but I don't remember tham now.

I'm gonna die at PetCo one of these days >.>

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Actually, I just recently pulled my longest jaunt yet a couple days ago. I think I stayed awake for about three days. I just didn't feel like sleeping for some reason. Haha, I kind of wasted the time I was awake though. I basically played oodles of Kingdom Hearts and fiddled around with my new computer <3

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

156 hours give or take a few. It was purely a test of personal limits and zombification set in thoroughly by day 4 or so. Back in high school I used to sleep two hours a night and consume 5 liters of coke a day so I had a good bit of practice going into it. At this point my body would take none of that nonsense though. I've gone soft I suppose.

I was speaking idiomatically.

The longest consecutive period I've ever gone is 50 hours. But I did do 70 hours with only 2 hours of sleep once. That was a lot worse than the consecutive 50.

I just could not sleep for some reason, either time.

The maternal side of my family has a kind of nasty history of mild insomnia, at least from what I can tell. I expect I inherited some of it. On average I get 5 hours of sleep per night, and that's excluding nights where I don't sleep at all.

Reading though here though, I can tell I don't have it as bad as some, so I guess I can be thankful for that.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

hmm. i can't remember. but was around 48hours+ had to rush some project work.
there was once i had no sleep prior and still had to go for swimming lessons in school the next day. -the dangers of sporting without rest-

but sleep! aha. think the best hmm. was round 13-16hours of quality sleep?
that was around 6 years ago though.. haha.

but like how some have mentioned, body can't take any of this nonsense anymore.
keep falling asleep at my desk these days

FELIPE NO

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.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

For me it was actually last week. My unit was doing field exercises. At night they needed someone to stand guard and make sure nobody fucked with our armory. Just as my luck would have it the my platoon's Gunnery Sargeant voluntold my ass to stand duty for 3 nights in a row. 72 hours with no sleep. But I got it done. Nobody fucked with our shit.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Asleep: about 14 hours, after a perticularly nasty day of physical work.

Awake: about 40 hours, I was trying to get back into a "normal" sleep rythm (was basically living at night atm, waking up at 5 pm and the likes). Stayed up playing the Cube's RE remake.

I recommend neither.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

probably about 48 hours for me when i had to bring my sister into the emergency room a few months ago in the middle of the night. she got admitted and i couldnt sleep for a couple of days after that. but she is fine now so i am thankful

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

hm....When I was 8 I watched a very scary movie and could not get to sleep. Probably 25-30 hours. These days, sometimes it's 19 hours.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Somewhere close to 40 hours.
It was a summer vacation some years ago, and as usual during summer vacation, I stayed up until about 3-4 every night and slept to 12-13 the next day. This made my internal clock go whack, and one night I went to bed at around 6am. I just couldn't sleep, and got up again after 3 hours and continued playing Final Fantasy 7

Went to sleep around midnight that night, and slept for maybe 10 hours.

How ya doing, buddy?

Mine was 29-30 hours. Nothing too big.

It was a 7am morning to the next day around 2-3pm. I had promised to help a friend with watching a kid's all-nighter, and had obilgations the next day in the morning to afternoon. It wasn't pretty, and I slept like a baby.

In terms of sleeping, I don't recall my longest non-waking sleep, but I do know that when I had appendix surgery, I slept with probably no more than 10mins awake at a time for about 2 days. It was probably like 40hours. I just remember waking listening to Goo Goo Dolls, and then falling asleep, then wake listening to Goo Goo Dolls, and then falling asleeps, then.... Yeah you got it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I've been awake for 2 days straight. And, as of sleeping, probably more than 12 hours in a day. ;p

FELIPE NO

Longest I've been awake was only recently, this May in fact. A friend of mine and I got together after having not seen each other in almost a year, we met up on Friday night after he and I got off work and pretty much hung out at his place the entire weekend catching up on old times and playing a ridiculous amount of Xbox. I woke up that Friday around 6am to go to work and didn't go back to sleep until 7 or 8am on Sunday. Even then we only slept for about 3 hours before getting back up.

Longest I've slept would have been Thanksgiving 2001, I had a nasty cold that holiday and remember being awake and around for the family dinner and what not, afterwards I started feeling worse so I took some NyQuil. I fell asleep shortly there after and didn't wake up until Saturday afternoon, at least didn't wake up in any significant way, I was told I did wake up a few times for a drink or to use the bathroom but I don't remember it.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

32 hours I think, it was one of those moments in the summer holidays where I'd adapted a ridiculous sleeping pattern. So I decided to do the whole stay up all night and day then sleep at a normal time. Didn't work, if anything it fucked it up more.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

72 hours is my record. It was followed by an hour sleep, then 16 more hours of uptime, so take that as you will. It was a weekend youth retreat, so we figured we'd stay awake the whole time. Smart kids eh?

There was about a month or so span last year, where I ran on a 48 hour day....if you could call it that. I would be up 40 to 45 hours, sleep for 6 to 8, up another 40 to 45 hours, etc etc, it was pretty mind numbing, but the scary part was that I was getting used to it.

I used to frequently pull all nighters, even to this day it's no big thing for me to not go to sleep at all at night, and then show up and work a long day at work. In fact most of my all nighters have work in the morning, so lol.

But yeah, the all nighters, usually end up being about 6am on one day, to about 1am the day after the next. So 18 + 24 + maybe another one or two......yeah at least 42 hours usually. Probably have a couple of those a month, if not a lot of them. I'm rather sleep deprived in case you haven't figured it out.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The longest I've made it has been around 36 hours, since I crashed immediately after turning in an all-nighter paper.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

At school we did a 24 hour marathon for a good cause. We watched television at night, played games...

So basically 26 hours awake.
