    Four or five days, I can't remember. I attribute it to hypo-mania. I can't do it normally, nor would I want to.

    Roughly about 28 hours. It was tradition for my dance team to "kidnap" the new dancers as part of their initiation. So all th returning members of the team would stay up for a little more than a day to carry out the whole kidnapping/initation thing.

    I remember only getting 30 minutes of sleep in a 72 hour period, because I was working this temporary security job. I quit before the span I was supposed to be there was up because my body and my brain couldn't take it any longer.

    I disagree. Eating and just sitting around thinking are the worst things you can do to help stay awake.

    I didn't say "eat and sit around all day."

    you did say thinking though^_^

    Eating pretzels on long car trips is pretty good for staying awake. We drove all the way from southern Louisiana to north-west Arkansas overnight like that once!
