    Cool Sleep is for the weak

    What's the longest stretch of time you've ever been awake?

    I'm a wuss so probably only about 20 or 21 hours for me. It was when I went to go see some midnight release movie after being up all day for work. Lord of the Rings or the Matrix or Star Wars or something, I don't remember.

    I think I managed a cool 40 hours before when I was in my early teens. I think I would die if I tried that again though.

    72 hours at the height of Diablo II's popularity.

    Maybe around thirty one time? I still get awfully close to 24 hours (or a bit beyond) almost every weekend.

    About the same as Bunny. When you start thinking rocks are elephants and see little people running around you've been awake far too long. It was because of work.

    50 hours. No stimulants either, I find they just make me feel worse about an hour after taking them.
    I did it during the 4th Annual Sleep Durability test me and my friend used to do when we were teenagers, see who could stay awake the longest. He got 48 hours.

    50 hours, over one of the messiest new years weekends of my life so far. No way I could do that now though, these days going without sleep damn near kills me.

    Forty hours. Came close to it a few more times as well but it's harder to stay awake when I'm drunk.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    Are you suggesting there is something wrong with spending 70 straight hours in the company of sir Huxley?

    I... I don't know if I can permit you to see him any more.
