^ What's the longest time you have spent awake?
For me it's just over 24 hours...

It will be interesting to hear some of your answers :)

Almost 3 days. Became extremely depressed and hallucinated a lot. It took me over a week to recover.

Trying to stay awake for that long to get something done is pointless. Once you hit the 36-40 hour mark you are pretty much useless at everything.
 
I think my longest without sleep would be just under 40 hours - and of course it was due to work and not pleasure.
 
Probably about 48hrs, my brain was screwed by that point. That was during a dissertation, had about 2hrs sleep then back on it again for another 24hrs.

I genuinely felt like I was going to throw up when handing it in.
 
Did a 36 hour gaming session for charity many moons back. I was doing fine until about 26hours in, drank lots of monster but can't say my gaming was that good after the 24th hour.
 
38 hours - mad rush on client site to get their system rolled out and ready for the Monday morning cutover. I drank loads of Red Bull and felt terrible for over a week. Never doing it again. :(

Similar case here, I stayed awake for almost 3 days and found it impossible to focus on anything, at one point even speaking sense became a struggle:D
 
I think I once went somewhere between 36 and 48 hours; I felt like death warmed up.

I wouldn't and couldn't even entertain going anywhere near that long now, unless I absolutely had to. My sleep pattern seems to get screwed up way to easily. Being a gamer, I like to stay up late now and again, but I've come to the conclusion I can't. If anyone knows anything about sleep patterns, cycles or anything connected, I'd be only too glad to read what they have to say.
 
Pretty much 2-3 days, partying :p

Wasnt running on air lets put it that way ;)

Felt awful though for days after it :(
