Omfg, me too. This past week has been THE VERY WORST INSOMNIA I have ever had. I get roughly 3-4 hours of disturbed sleep each [strike]night[/strike] morning.
I have stages, not so long ago, i was hardly sleeping, and by hardly i dont mean nights, i have tried but i just.. sleep, i nod off.
The longest was probably one night, i THINK i stayed up all night, i was scared, id just watched one of,to me anyway, the scariest films ever, Hannibal.
It was about 2 years ago.. i was like.. 10, i was scared to death, i hated showers i mean, what if the water turns red?!
I couldnt go in a room alone, what if he gets me!?
I couldnt sleep.. What if he got me sleeping!?
And my family found it funny to skit me and say
"phh phh phh" you no like when u shiver.. like he does.. it still scares me to this day.
Probably 2 days or something. Nothing heroic. Even after that I started to hallucinate in the dark. After a week and upwards it must be like some kind of living hell.

24 hours. Honestly.
I've never been deprived of sleep for an extended period of time.
"As the days go by, we face the increasing inevitability that we are alone in a godless,
uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?"
I've gone without sleep straight through for a couple of days, but with my absolute worst cases of insomnia, I've gone for maaaaybe a month where I would have on average three or four hours of sleep a night. I was told is was a temporary chemical imbalance.
You should probably have that checked out.
Signature by rubah. I think.
Some of you seems to be a bit crazy. There's no reason at all to try to stay awake for as long as possible. I've been awake for about 28 hours. Really... there's no point in it. You'll just get extremely tired and feel like crapp.
3 or 4 days, I can't really remember that much about it.
Two days, roughly 48-50 hours.
I agree with BoB about the miniscule probability of being able to stay awake for more than a few days.
I've gone without sleep for like... 17 hours without sleep, tops. I sleep like... whenever I can. I think I'm one of the laziest people on earth... I nap, sleep in class, sleep standing up very occasionally, and in the meantime I tend to daydream alot...
But yeah, about 17 hours.
You clearly are trying really hard or are lying
Most ive bin up is three days.
This reminds me of a program called shattered on about 3 years ago. They had to stay up as long as possible. One of those 'Ill do anything to be on TV' things
I have stayed awake of my own accord for 36 hours once. With the aid of Red Bull, I stayed awake for 50 hours once frantically working on a research paper.
There is an enzyme released and activated in your brain during sleep. When you wake up, this enzyme is quickly phosphorilated and the phosphorilation protein in degraded afterward. It happens at different speed for different people, and if you wake up during REM sleep, then it happens almost instantaneously. This is the main cause for grogginess in the morning. As your body goes on a regular cycle of sleep, your brain will start to make this enzyme without you going to sleep (thus causes you to feel tired before you go to bed, also why children don't usually feel tired on a cyclical basis). But only when this enzyme is activated (during sleep) will it do anything, and if it's not phosphorliated it will not degrade and be made anew on your next sleep cycle. And only if this enzyme is activated will the phosphorilation protein be able to phosphorilate and be degraded. If you fail to sleep, this phosphorilation protein, which also will begin to be produced on a regular basis, will not degrade and will start to build up in your brain, aggregating due to overconcentration and eventually mimicing what happens in the brains of people with paranoid schizophrenia. One cause scientists have found for people with paranoid schizophria is the over production of various proteins in the brain. About 90 hours without sleep will cause this to start to happen. It's not a good thing.
2 days. I could go on FOREVER, but y'know, I never find anything interesting enough to keep me awake forever.
i think 3 days. i had to do a uni essay and then had a 2 day drinking bender.......plus LOTS of pro plus (god bless)
i was very tired....
Trust No one
The longest I've gone was somewhere close to sixty hours. During the late spring to early fall I'll stay up 40-60 hours at a time on a semi-regular basis. I think it has something to do with my reaction to the seasons. My doctor blames it on hypo-mania.
