The longest you've ever gone without sleeping?

My longest time awake, was 60 hrs. That was 60hrs of non-stop gaming at a lan-party. Coffee on the hour. Wouldnt do it again though.
 
I went 45hours straight lanning Black and White :o
 
Friday morning to Sunday night. Final weekend of my fraternity's aptly named Hell Week.

EDIT - no drugs - not even caffeine. :o

Mine's +/- 72hrs. An entire weekend from Friday to Monday. Drugs involved. Never again.
 
Got up a Friday at 7:00 in 1999. Went to class. At 18:00 that Friday evening went to university's NARGA computer centre. Stayed there till Sunday morning, 7:00. Went to bed at 9:00.
 
Three days with no sleep.

That week I got about six hours sleep.

I frequently suffer from insomnia and go for two days with no sleep.

About 40 hours. Woke up at about 8 the one morning, stayed up all day and night, and went to bed at like 2 the following morning. How you go three days without sleep is beyond me
 
36 hours for me... Was working (coding) on an insane project. (1 programmer, 2 managers, 1 cranky client)
After 24 hours you can't dare to sit down to work out calculations. (That's what massive white boards are for).
 
I used to often stay awake the whole weekend from Fri morning to Sunday night way back when Cape Town's rave scene was pumping. Longest was from a Wednesday to Sunday during school holidays. Not doing that again, definitely not at 30!
 
Was just thinking this thread should be renamed to "who's taken drugs before" :p
 
well I woke at 8am (wed).... went throught wed,thurs and fri day mourning at 8 I passed out :P so that +-48hours
 
prolly about 36 hours during exams at Univ. One just needs to get past 1-2am in the morning when the sleep is pulling you to the bed:eek: and then you can go on till the next bed time.

That's an awefull nickname to give a girl. You should be ashamed of yourself
 
A friend of mine who came to the UK, planned a weekend with a couple of other mates were all they were 'allowed' to do was drink jagermeister and redbull th whole weekend. They were not 'allowed' to eat or sleep. It did end with two chicks landing in hospital on that Sunday....Insane stuff. On the Monday when he got to work, His manager told him to leave as he was still reeking of alcohol and still drunk!
