what is the longest time youve gone without sleep

3 days. i was in hospital and wasnt really allowed to sleep (they thought i might not wake up) so there was a stimulant in my IV. the night shift nurses were pretty good at cards tho.

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...

funny? or sad? im not sure! im laughing and crying at the sime time, maybe im crying cos im laughing, who knows?!?!

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.

2 days with 15mins sleep between those... not at computer, in REAL life

a bit over 43 hours i think? after purchasing world of warcraft: the burning crusade

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.

36 hours i think, after which i pretty much fell to the floor

48 hours. I had 3 back-to-back exams end of term this year. 2 of which i hadnt really learned any of the material for. I pretty much learned an entire terms worth of university chemistry in a day...

I dont think I passed

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.

about 4 days, once. Years ago now though.

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?

Those are some bad hallucinations, road signs.... in Europe?

Between 72 and 80. I sleep little.
