What is the longest time you have stayed awake for?

From last friday night till that saturday night at round about 1:30 am. We were counting wild and it is best to do it either early in the morning or late at night. A lot of fun but very tiring as well.

When we get snow I could be awake for 48 hours plowing so my customers are happy. I live on 5 hour energy drinks and coffee when it snows and that helps me to stay awake and pay attention to what I am doing.

I have gone with about 25 to 26 hours straight without sleep. It was due to packing for a move. This has happened more times then I care to remember. One time was dealing with getting rid of my mom and dad stuff when they were moving from NY to Florida. We had a limited time and we had four floors to deal with. My mom was a bit of a packrat. So I easily stayed up many time over 24 hours at that period of time. I probably also did it because of attending parties that lasted longer then excepted. I really hate when this happens because my body clock gets out of rack not to mention that I'm grouchy if I don't get enough sleep.

I have been up for more than 24 hours at one point, but by then my head is already spinning and my mood isn't so jolly as I usually am. I only let that happen when there's something really important that's happening, otherwise I'd follow my body when it tells me to sleep.

I can last up to 24 hours when I was still in College. The longest time I have stayed awake was during College. I was graduatng during that time. I did not sleep for more than 24 hours to finish our group thesis. The unexpected happened. We're almost done with our papers but then something happened and all our files were lost. We have to start from the scratch. We did everything for more than half day and then when we were about to print our papers my groupmate's printer malfunctioned. We have no choice but for me to go home which is more than 2 hours away from my groupmate's house. I still have to go to the mall to buy an Ink for our printer. Travel was almost one hour because of the traffic. After I arrived home I realized I don't know how to place the ink inside the printer so I have to wait for my youngest brother. My brother arrived after almost three hours and helped me with the printer. I had to print out 1000 pages and three copies of our thesis so that was 3000 pieces. While I was printing I noticed that Three Chapters of our group papers were missing. I was already exhausted but have no choice but to re-write the Three Chapters. I finished everything including the proof reading, editing and lay- outing aside from the printing at around 8 a.m. the next day. Then, I rushed to the school's Shopping Center for book binding. The thesis has to be submitted at exactly 12:00 noon that day. I dreaded that day and swore it will never happen again. I felt like a zombie during that time and it seemed like my whole body was numb especially my mind. I was so disoriented. Good thing we no longer have class so I spent the whole day sleeping and woke up the next day still feeling so drained, sleepy and exhausted.

i stayed awake from 5 o'clock am to 4 o'clock pm the next day,because i attended my class for a day then we went to attend a 6 pm to 6 am jamboree without sleeping then attended again a class for the next day..

I think the longest I have gone with out sleep is probably 72+ hours or something like that. I remember a span of something like three days where I got absolutely no sleep. I'm a pretty bad insomniac and for some reason it was really bad those couple of days. Maybe too much sugar or something like that.

I've stayed awake for 36 hours in Las Vegas. I just couldn't leave the casino and all that money and glitz. It was the most exciting time of my life. When I'm having fun I can stay awake for a long time. I only get sleepy when I'm bored.

Hello Ros, Ive went for 3 days without any sleep at all when my mom was in the hospital. I didnt want to leave her side so I stayed until I was sure she was out of danger and then my sister replaced me. Its been the longest 3 days of my life and I couldnt even fall asleep once I got home. I was too worried. They say you can start hallucinating when you go without sleep for a long period of time. Im lucky it didnt happen to me. I was probably under too much stress.

I remember that i have not slept for more than 2 days..........

i have been there just sleeping for 1 or 2 hours . once i have stayed without sleeping for the whole night and the next day too that is have not slept for 48 hours . that happened when i was in my high school and there was one important examination and a important cricket match too . i cant give up both things so i studied all through the night and i watched the match the next day fully and i continued studying the following night too . the best part of it is that the team i supported won the match and i also got a centum in that examination . it was a memorable two nights of my life . other than that i have stayed awake for many nights just by sleeping for 1-2 hours .

i have stayed awake from 7am until the next morning to about 4am. needless to say... i was so tired when i got up

The longest time that I have stayed awake was 36 hours. I was one of four support persons for a technical support line in our company. I started my week on a Sunday. We have a 12 hour shift for the first 3 days and an 8 hour shift for the 4th day. The one replacing me on the Sunday night felt sick. I was on the Sunday morning schedule and I need to go home for Monday morning's shift. Since I went on leave before that, I took the opportunity when they asked if anybody could man the Sunday evening so that my leave would not be held against my sick leave. So I went straight from 9am Sunday til 9pm Monday.

About 24 hours. And it was excruciating. I was having a difficult time sleeping and I just decided one day..forget.. I am staying up. LOL! I made it about a whole 24 hours and I was just exhausted, grumpy, tired, cranky, and in desperate need of sleep time. When I finally did go to sleep... I didn't get out of bed for 2 days!

to me like two or three days.

I once went about 36 hours without sleep as I was travelling and I found it difficult to sleep on the bus / plane than I travelled on. I felt very ill afterwards and I had a headache and an upset stomach for a couple of days.

for me, a think around 34 hours, that's the longest time that I was not able to sleep straight last december because my friends whose working in other places went back home and I still have to report for work. but several times I experienced sleeping for an hour or two in a day for 4 to 5 days.

The longest I have ever managed is 36 hours I nearly lasted the entire two days, but my body just gave up and I dozed off into a mega sleep

lol, you are lazy ;) i remember once that i had stayed awaken for 2 days for business reasons.

I went to a friends party. I woke up 10 in the morning that day and I went to sleep 1300 hours the next day. So that totals up to 27 hours without sleep. Pretty good right?
