The longest you've ever gone without sleeping?

Worst sleep ever!! you wake up with frights etc...went 3 days straight with only 4 hours sleep in between...

oh and back in the days when we went to splash :) hehe
splash -> el divine -> that place in joburg with the open roof? -> after party eish!
 
56 hrs - walked home 50km (9hrs) thru the night over Xmas (many many years ago), got a lift on a bicycle the last 2 km
46 hrs - drove 3000km from George to Lusaka,Zambia no sleep (4 redbulls later),at night thru Botswana with all the cows,donkeys & elephants in the road - crazy

So i got to work on sunday morning at 9 (was awake at 8) and only got home at 1 yesterday afternoon. (Tight deadlines FTW)
So by my calculations i was up for around 30 hours.
Man what a good sleep.

I played Star Wars: KOTOR2 (Knights of the old republic) for 32 hrs straight one weekend from 11pm on the Friday night. I was awake that Friday morning at 9pm, which would make my longest stint 41hrs. :(
 
62 odd hours.

Friday: Got up at six, worked then partied through the night.

Saturday: Went to help with a braai thing for a function. After that went to the bottle store got some booze watched the CC finals with some mates (bulls lost:() started partying again and kuiered till the sunday morning.

Sunday: Took a shower and wokeup the others to go for breakfast, then we went to the barn and we did some rock climing (i did not do very well :o) went for lunch, watched a movie with the then gf and had supper. Went home and fell asleep at around 8 in front of the TV :D
 
Started on a Monday morning, little sleep (2 hours) that night to Thursday morning driving home from Thabazimbi at 3 AM. Nearly killed myself falling asleep while driving and thereafter stopped the practise all together. Noth worth it.
 
9 days... last day was on Sunday morning roughly at about 7am. I started sleeping. I woke up Monday at around 6pm

No fatigue, no hallucinations. Just couldn't sleep.

This happens to me regularly but not for that long. I'd say 3-4 days at a time. I feel fine the entire time. But I feel constantly hungry when I'm like that :o
 
About 3 days, haha you got to love the outdoor Trance partys. You never wanna go sleep.

Mine wasn't drug induced ;)

And yes, I felt perfectly fine. Just the Sunday morning thought "Mmm, I think I'm sleepy now"

Apparently being awake for longer than 24 hours is like having 8 beers or something

:D lol no it's because I suffer from a chronic case of insomnia lol. I'm one of those people who don't drink cause they can't even handle 2 beers without being tipsy. Poor constitution:o

Yeah, and recently...

Anyway, apart from the LAN events back in my youth, the most exhausting experience of my life so far was working from 09:00 in the morning to about 05:00 the next morning to get 2 hours sleep and clean and eat something. This was repeated for about a week and half working on deadlines as well.

So:
Normal sleep for 1 week @ 8 hours = 56Hours
My sleep for that week @ 2 hours = 14Hours :sick:

Now that suck, I would rather not sleep than taking in 2 hours, that would kill me... :rolleyes:

but for a whole week, I will take a nap if I can. :D
