I was up for a whole day in Israel, stayed up all night, flew to Frankfurt, then flew home to California, then stayed up until about 1-2am the next morning.

I had insomnia but someone told me that if i didnt sleep for week i would die. But i couldnt sleep and i think i went a week then just took a [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]load of syraquil cause i didnt want to die. After about 5 days i started to hallucinate. Wasnt that bad though.

66 hours... but I was occupied.

I tried to beat FFIX in one sitting, 49 hours straight got me to Necron, but I couldn't beat him because of the status effects...

A friend of mine was up for 112 hours, but he collapsed on a window sill while trying to save his cat from Mario... He went, NO MARIO! And lunged at his window sill. That freaked me out...

So, kids, the lesson is:
Sleep is good.

50 hours, around. Then I promptly slept for 20.

At a LAN party, a friend of mine spent 32 hours awake in my brother's closet... its a 3'x5' closet...

3 days.

Joel: You'd be dead if that's true. The brain eventually shuts down from lack of sleep, and that's well before seven days (perhaps 3-4 days). Only people with severe neurological disorders have been able to stay up for weeks, and they've probably died from lack of sleep.

The longest period without sleep I've had to endure was around 48 hours.

Hmmm...probably 3 days at the most. I either couldn't sleep or I just didn't want to. I can't remember.
I used to not sleep very much at all, but lately I haven't been able to sleep for less than 7-9 hours or I absolutely feel like crap, and I can be very cranky because of it. Like I was yesterday.

[Dreddz]

that is definatly not true
A Program called shattered made people stay up for as long as possible and they went on for about a week. Who would be dumb enough to make a show that kills you. Plus ive known people in real life staying up for abou 6 days

[Clouded Sky]

i went somewhere around 72 hours and i was going crazy. there was NO WAY i could've stayed up longer, even if I had wanted to. my body crashed and i was out for about 24 hours.

[Shlup]

What was the longest period of time you spent without sleep?

So far... this is the god honest truth... I've been awake right now for a whole week. I have the worst insomnia any human has ever had.

That's cute.

After 72 hours without sleep you start to hallucinate. After seven days you generally slip into a coma. After eight days you die.

It was nice knowing you, Joel.

2 1/2 days.
