Hi guys. I'm in a bit of a weird mood, and I reckon it's probably something to do with the fact that I haven't slept for going on 52 hours, which is definitely the longest for a while. Mostly due to going out, and other associated reasons ;)

So, fellow forumites, what is the longest you have gone without sleep for, and why?
 
5 days, 4 nights. I excercised to keep me awake and kept an insomnia diary. Towards teh end, I spent some time shakily writing about elves that hid the furniture and stood in its place when I turned the light off. I don't remember anything past noon of the third day.
 
Two nights without sleep is the most I've ever gone. Pure hell by the end of it, must have been somewhere around the 50-60 hour mark. So bad for your mental and physical health. Totally and utterly spaced out and no ability to function properly.
 
About 36 hours at the Dynamo festival back in '93. I felt like the walking dead, so the next few time though I learned to catch an hour or two whenever I could.
 
same as romannose, 36 hours because of flying from las vegas to UK overnight.

couldnt sleep a wink on the plane, but i was asleep for the whole car journey. since i normally get car sick on any lengthy journey i would have thought it would be the other way round for sleeping, but obviously not
 
I think the longest I've ever been awake was for about 4 days. When I had Uni deadlines day after day last year.

At the end of it, went on a massive booze up to celebrate and still managed to stay out as long as all my mates :D
 
I've done 50 hrs plus. But I've also found I can get away with only 3 hours a night on a near indefinite basis.
