What's the longest time you've stayed a awake, and for what
reason?
I am not in any way staying awake for a long time right now,
just wondering...

share

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.

7 days, then it gets a little too crazy. Too crazy for even
me to handle.

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.
