    You cant die of lack of sleep. Maybe black-out but not die. But hallucinating is quite true as when I was on my last few hours on my 3 day stay awake my mind played tricks on me till I just dropped and slept on the ground.

    One of the possible side effects of a continued lack of sleep is death. Usually this is the result of the fact that the immune system is weakened without sleep. The number of white blood cells within the body decreases, as does the activity of the remaining white blood cells.

    I remember that - if I recall correctly then they were allowed about an hours sleep a day.

    I think most for me is 24 hours. That was when I flew out to New York and arrieved first thing in the morning and went to bed at 11 at night.

    I've never stayed up longer than a full day, I'd reckon. My body is weird and I'm constantly tired, so it makes it tough to do something like that.

    Actually I've known people who have stayed up over a week while on speed...and they're still alive.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    Not very long. Not an entire day.

    I did stay up until 7:30 am once though.

    Longest I've been awake was a couple hours short of four days. I was very occupied with writing. When I get an idea, I have no choice but to write it down. I become very irritable when I'm writing. Usually these periods last me a week or two, and sometimes up to a month. That's my usual when I get my writing craze. When I write, I become so energized, I go days without sleep or without any caffeinated drinks. After that, I get bummed out and usually in a big slump for a month or two, then another massive surge of creativity, inspiration, and writing kicks in. Then the process is repeated.

    For me, hallucinations from sleep deprivation usually comes around 45 hours. My sociology/psychology teacher says that you start hallucinating around 40 hours, but that is variable. After 96 hours without sleep, you are clinically insane. This is without any additives or drugs, like caffeine or speed in your system.

    I once stayed awake for a WHOLE month. I'm pretty sure I brought a cat, killed it, ate every single part of it, then brought a dog, watched my entire anime collection in one sitting, made a perfect save for every Final Fantasy 1-11, ate the dog, brought a zoo, and became a drug lord. For some reason, I woke up in the middle of the desert dressed up as the easter bunny.

    Boy, I probably don't want to know what else I did.
