Not sure, I start hallucinating after about 36 so any estimate after that point is unreliable.

Seriously, auditory hallucinations are weird and I can sleep on a paved floor so I doubt I've gone much more then 24 very often... but I remember dinner, breakfast, lunch, dinner, breakfast one time in college and I remember waking up, going to school, having an over night thing at school from 3pm to 3pm (what we called the sound-a-thon)... and when I was doing the Canada FIRST robotics games I only remember 2 nights sleep over the course of 4 days... when I got my n64 I think it was at least Christmas morning till lunch the next day...

I was so tired this one time, I couldn't remember if "O" was a letter of the alphabet. I was saying it out loud... "Oh"... no, that can't be...

I seem to be able to do actual work only when I pull an all-nighter. Right now, I'm leading out of one, but this is the second such in like 2 weeks. i think the most was 40h.
edit:
and sleep-deprivation hallucinations are only REALLY fun when your hitchhiking across europe and in a truck with a strange turkish man. That is when shit goes crazy.

Those weren't hallucinations. Europe is really like that.

Those weren't the hallucinations, merely the setting for them (and the reason why i wasn't going to sleep). The hallucinations involved road signs turning into animals and stuff.

Three days at small network session, because all places to sleep were occupied all the time and I was too lazy to go home. Never gonna do that again ever. Think I slept about 15+ hours straight, can't remember.

I havent stayed up all night much, but I once pushed at least 40 hours with no problem. I actually felt rested. I guess playing smash bros all night = sleep.

A year or so again, I was lost in the woods and I wandered around for at least 3 or 4 days without sleep. In Oblivion.

Third day I start to get messed up. No direct estimates. I think I waited till bedtime to go to sleep, so three days, maybe?
