I've been awake for about 27 hours and I'm completely wasted. Closing my eyes feels so good, I'd rather go to sleep than have sex or do anything...

Okay, maybe not quite yet. But I'll be there soon.

So how long have u gone for?
 
I was up for over 48 hours once - it was a "marathon" type thing. I was completed whacked afterwards and slept for almost 20 hours.

Not a good idea.
 
The problem is it sometimes takes more than one night's rest to make up for it, it can take a couple days to get back to normal.

So tell us why you were up for 48 hours, was it like that cop movie?
 
Let me count

Must have been about three days when traveling in australia

Day 1 awake normal time in the morning. In the night board a bus to the next destination couldn't sleep.
Day 2 Arive in the morning at new destination. Didn't go to sleep then, but explored town. Then get a job offer fold newspapers in the night. Worked through the night
Day 3 Finished the job in the morning, again didn't go to sleep but went on a hike and did even some climbing
Night 3 slept like a baby
 
Mine was also about 45 or so, coupled with a reaction to malaria tablets it was good times allround.

Back in the dark ages, before the Internet blossomed, I was a normal kid. This was around 1989 and I was involved in a youth group and we had an event in CT. Anyways, me and some friends organised the thing along with the city councillor in charge, and we stayed awake for the whole weekend looking after things.

(you did ask...)
 
Wow, so you were up for almost 48 hours and then you had to fold newspapers all night, that's fcked up man.
 
I am now on 30 hours and counting. I used to regularly do 72 hours but age has deprived me of that happiness.

Peace.
 
40 odd hours for a rave festival close to Amsterdam a few years ago :) . I've grown up since then....
 
Mine is about 40 hours. Was part of a marathon thing we did at school over a weekend.

On a side note having little sleep over a period can stuff you pretty badly as well. On one occasion I only had about 6 hours sleep over 4 days. Not a good idea. :eek:
