What is the Longest Time you have been through without Sleeping?

When I was about 14 I wanted to see how long I could go without sleeping one summer. I actually made it just about 4 days. No joke. But back then I was 14 and I didn't have a car or a license so I couldn't go anywhere to entertain myself. I had a tv in my room but we didn't have cable so I had all of 5 channels or so and that got dull watching infomercials at 3 am. I watched movies on my VCR once in a while...but I eventually got so bored I cleaned my entire room and I finally just went to sleep because I was bored. I don't know if I could ever do that again. but i've gone a fairly long time without sleeping.

the longest time i ever stay awake was only 15 hrs only.. that was the longest i can tahan.. But sleeping, the longest i have ever slept was 16hrs straight without waking up ;)

the longest i have ever been without sleeping is 24 hours... and after that, i am very very sleepy as well and i sleep for the whole 2 days to pay off for my sleeping time...

well, the longest I ever when without sleep is 48 hours. It was during one of the exercises where we were short of man power and I had to do two consecutive night shifts of guard duty. An inspection of our store was schedules for the same period and we had to get our stuff in order. So it was vehicle maintenance during the day and guard duty during the night. It was really tiring. On the second night, I started to hallucinate. That was when I requested to change shift with a buddy. I was so sleepy, I fell asleep in my uniform on the floor for the next few hours. That weekend, I spent almost 70% of it sleeping to catch up with my sleep debt. One of the rare weekends where I sleep the whole two days away. 8p

the longest time that i've been through without sleeping is only 22 hours. its was the time of my exams and with just few days i was really struggling and i had no choice but to borrow some time from my sleep, not very healthy but still i had to do it. But the next day was terrible and i counldnt concentrate on any thing and i slept during the day to get myself recharged. so all the time i gained by not sleeping was lost, infact i lost more time than if i had taken proper sleep. from then on i stopped the habit of borrowing from my sleep!

i don't think i will be that like you. the longest time without sleeping is 2and half days. it is not said that i don't have a rest. in fact i want to sleep at nay time. i think i can sleep when i walk at the street.but i was interested in read severy books at that time. i go to sleep when i was very tired and i can read the books.

I think it is almost 24 hours when I had a chance to attend a whole night prayer in my church. We spent the whole night in prayer,singing and preaching.

The longest if i remember right was in my college. There was a festival going on and i had some part in it. It was something like 3 days (2 nights). So its pretty big time. Something like 60 hours. Cant think of it anymore. :)

I can sill remember not sleeping for about 20 hours. I was trying to finish a report then. Actually, it was really a nightmare. I got a very terrible headache after. And the sad part about it is that reporting was postponed. Lucky me, am I?...lol...

I guess the longest time I've been through without sleeping was last winter when I stayed awake for almost 48 hours and that got my whole body and mind messed up. It took me a week or so to get back to my normal rythm. What's weird is that I was able to go to school and to my maths preparation during those 48 hours but I can't tell if I remember anything lol.

i have been 2 days awake without sleeping coz i was busy with my projects

hi there! i have experienced 36 hours awake, facing the computer, and processing data for our research final report. i cannot put words to describe how i feel during that time. i am sleepy yet my brain is still working. my body is tired but my brain and heart says no, you can't stop. im proud to say that eventhough i feel very tired and sleepy, i still process the data correctly. when i got home, it seems that i miss my bed and my pillows.. :-)

more than 24 hours about 2 weeks ago. I just didnt feel like sleeping during bedtime therefore, I did some internet surfing, read some pages from magazines and books, watched some TV, ate biscuits and drank decaf coffee. Then, it was daylight! I still managed to go to work, then slept like a baby at 9pm. If i will not discipline myself, this will become a habit. I have tried to get only around 3 to 4 hours of sleep daily for a week. The result: My immune system suffered I got the flu and UTI. Uhhummm (yawn)! Let's sleep now........

The longest time for which i havent slept was 28 hours.It was the time when i was preparing my final semester project of micro controller. I was feeling exhausted at the end of all this.

When I was still a teenager, I used to have sleepless nights. I went 24/7, especially when there are ocassions. But I have stopped it, since it is not good for my health. I can still can't sleep properly though, I am an insomiac. But I make sure that I will do everything just to doze off, I could read or listen to mellow music to help me sleep.

the longest i ever slept was when i had this really bad flu, i slept for about 24 hours and a good part of the next day as well and the 3rd day i was very weak. I dont know what type of flu it was, but obviously it was pretty severe.

Same here, the longest time I haven't slept is around 36 hours. I just couldn't believe myself how I could stay up like that. But I just did. But it's just amazing sometimes our body doesn't show any reaction staying awake for so long.

I think maybe 2 days would be mine, but that's not straight. When you're in college, it can happen, but it doesn't you you any good in the health or performance departnment. In many ways, it's still best to sleep to get more work done.
