Longest that you've gone without sleep?

[Mai72]

Right now it's about 1 day.

How long have you gone without sleep?

 

[Ns1]

Heading to Vegas in 7 hours, no hotel booked.

So I'll report back tomorrow.

 

[Harrod]

2 days and 20 hours back when I was 18 studying for a test.

 

[sdifox]

78 hrs.

 

[Anubis]

I suppose around 20 hours give or take. I get to the point where I'll just crash no matter what though. I'm not sure it would be possible for me to make it more that a day without sleep.

My first job was at a full-service gas station. I did 32 hours straight. The manager was pissed when I was 700 dollars short after all that. I was pretty delirious.

 

[William Gaatjes]

60 hours.

Unhealthy activity achievement brag thread.

 

[brianmanahan]

48 hours, was working for 36 of those.

some idiot manager thought we could get 3 months of estimated remaining work done in 1 or 2 straight days of not sleeping.

i felt like i was drunk driving on my way home from the office.

 

[stormkroe]

83 hours, ended june 26th last year trying to make a grand opening for a new Co Op grocery store. I lost 29 pounds on that job. Had so many 30+ hour 'days' I can't even remember them all.

Great admiration for those completing Navy SEAL hell week.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Dunno, but I fell asleep three times just reading this thread.

Dunno, but I fell asleep three times just reading this thread.

 

[Crono]

40 hours

If you go for "days" without sleeping, you really kinda are unintentionally sleeping, unless you are on stimulants or something. You start having microsleeps. Really dangerous to go that long without sleeping.

[OverVolt]

36 hours. Its probably bad for you.

 

[Cappuccino]

2 days and 20 hours back when I was 18 studying for a test.

18? What test did you do at 18? University exam? What was it?

 

[Charmonium]

Between 3 and 4 days, but I had help. A lot of help. On my own, I think I've gone 2.5 days. You start to hallucinate at about 3 days. Not pink ferrets hallucinations but things moving about in your peripheral vision. Also, music. That's probably the weirdest sensation. Hearing music you know isn't there.

 

[Imp]

Maybe 35 hours after pulling all-nighters in college.

I know a gambling addict that goes 50+ on a regular basis... All so he can pick through peoples' garbage bins for cans and then spend his nickels on lottery tickets.

 

[Craig234]

It's very bad for you IMO. It's on the list of things we do to prisoners by the military/CIA, and it's torture. It just doesn't 'sound bad' reading it to the public. 'Poor babies.'

 

[NikolaeVarius]

About 72 Hours.

It really sucked after the 48 hour mark.

 

[shortylickens]

Two days. Which is also the longest stretch of time I've ever worked.

Going without sleep for two days is rough.
WORKING for two days is hell.

 

[Gerle]

78 hrs.

About the same.
