I am not in any way staying awake for a long time right now, just wondering...

only about 36 hours ofso.
you get so tired you can't actually sleep anymore, but you can't concentrate or do anything anymore. complete inertia.

i would say two days, it was a long long time. Or it just felt that way.
Went to a camp thing when i was younger, didnt get any sleep the first night, and then didnt get any the following night.
Slept like a baby when i got home, thank christ.

yeah I usually experience light hallucinations if I've slept really little for a long period of time... It's kinda groovy, but in the same time you become so ineffective (when doing things you do them less good, and it takes more time) it aint worth it.
Mine is 50+ hours something (a couple of years ago), and I hadn't been sleeping much at all the days before that either.
When I got home (I was away during the time) I slept for like 18 hours in a row... It was crazy.

Channel 4 in the UK are advertising for people to appear in a show where you have to stay awake for 7 days.
Another case of how far people will go to be on TV, but the final few days should be funny, seeing the people break down.

About 80 hours, I guess. I pull all-nighters all the time but I usually make up for it with sporadic naps here and there... otherwise I'm a zombie and there's a risk I could fall down the stairs.
Getting into bed after a couple days of being awake is worth all the grogginess and fucked-up-head-ness that you go through when you're mega tired. Sublime.

My personal longest was about 4 or 5 days but that was on a psychotic ice binge so it's impossible to tell.... and it was not cool
last week i slept on thurs night and then on monday night...for about 4 hours and then slept properly on tuesday night. so that is about as long as i'd really want to stay up.
and i had shitloads of uppers. that's why i couldn't sleep on mon night.

I've was up five days straight last year - Had something to do with when I stopped smoking weed & cigarettes - Used to get stoned everyday to get to sleep - Then suddenly I was getting bad reactions to weed (skipped heart beats/anxiety) after 5 years heavy smoking - So stopped suddenly and it kind of messed with my system for a while...
Cos I was physically&mentally stressed (having to adapt to not smoking) I'd stop breathing whenever I fell asleep and wake up moments later gasping for air! Not nice! It is stress related though - I was totally freaked by it at the time - Was afraid to go to sleep - But by the 5th day I kind of realised it was nothing medically wrong, so I chilled out for a few hours than managed to drift off... It's quite common when you're stressed to stop breathing for a while when you fall asleep - Some sort of sleep apnea.
It's wierd staying up that long - What I always notice whenever I'm up for a few days straight is you get this thing: someone will talk to you and suddenly everything around you will seems silent, like snapping you out of some kind of waking dream - It affects my focus and perception I guess... So something will grab my attention and everything else will just dissapear for a moment.

I like it, kind of like a waking hypnogogic state (like when you are just starting to fall asleep and your mind trails on images of faces or people 'talking' or thoughts)

i read this really interesting story ages ago about some new york radio DJ who stayed up for 2 weeks (back in the 1960s i think) and was on air the whole time. by the end of it he was seeing his shoes full of spiders and thought some guy was the grim reaper ready to take him away. he totally flipped out. after it was over his wife said he was never the same mentally and ended up divorcing him. the story was on the net somewhere, cant find it right now.
i've noticed myself that when i have been up a couple of days or had fucked sleep from drinking too much that i sometimes see spiders or cockcoches walking across my bed or walls. i think its a pretty common thing. its a pretty interesting topic with all the REM sleep studies n shit.

56/57 hours... so long as you're not driving or operating machinery etc. it's fine. I've driven after being up for about 28 hours and that's pretty dodgy. I wasn't going to fall asleep at the wheel as it was a really bright day and I had 3 friends in the car jabbering away, but it's just the way your reactions are dulled and you don't feel connected with reality.
I used to pull all nighters a lot to get work done, but now I've realised you pay for it with interest the next couple of days... I still stay up all night the night before deadlines occassionally, but if you do it all the time you get roughly the same amount of work done as you're so inefficient.

yeah driving is not a good idea. I've driven after 2-3 days of being awake and on the virge of crashing physically and mentally. I was working alot in a warehouse at the time and I kept seeing larger than life fork lifts in the road. Slam the brakes on, and then realize I could drive right through it. It was rough and definately not cool.
