Once on holiday (a very restful holiday where not a lot happened) I stayed awake for 2 nights ina row, and it never caught up with me.
As for sleep... One nasty new years I got alcohol poisoning, and slept for about 2 days with only one or two awakenings (n ot many pukings).

I think I was awake for about 36 hours then slept for about 18 hours after that. I was very ill in hospital at the time and didn't want to go to sleep incase I didn't wake up.
I discharged myself the next day and slept for 18 hours straight in my own bed.

longest sleep was around 14hrs i think and longest awake time is 3 days - twice!

i so wanna sleep it's not funny any more. :(

5 hrs a night at best it seems. i wake up before my alarm clock every morning and i stay up late at night to make myself tired. even tried avoiding caffeine based drinks.

3 days without sleep was done regularly at all the Donningtons, Ozzfest or Download festivals I've been to until I hit 30 and nowadays I need 8 hrs sleep just to stop me falling alseep when the bands are on :D

Longest sleep was 24hrs when I was ill with some kind of chinese flu :(

Longest Awake, somewhere around 70 hours.
Longest Asleep, 20 hours (directly after the 70 hour bender)

Not an experience I ever want to repeat. The 40 hour run back from Texas was not fun, but that was due to nicotine withdrawals :(

Awake - about 40 hours
Asleep - 14 hours

Coming up to a Crit last semester was 32 hours awake followed by 4 hours sleep followed by the aforementioned 40 hour marathon. Wasn't so bad seen as the rest of the year was doing it as well, moral support and all that :D

Longest awake is about 40 hours. No idea what the longest asleep was, probably 13-14.

Although I have done 24 hours straight of sport, which was the most tired I've ever been :)

Longest Awake: 48 hours (coursework deadline)
Longest asleep: 24 hours (just after the above :p)

longest asleep was punctuated by going to the loo two times.

Longest I've been awake is around 40 hours.

Longest I've slept is probably around 12 hours after a lot of booze. I normally wake up exactly 8 hours after I go to sleep.
