36 hours, man! It was during term-time and the exam season are just around the corner so I stayed up late to finish reviewing for my subjects. I feel so lightheaded the next day and at the same time, super hyper. Thanks to green tea! hehe

I have a couple times, back in my partying days, stayed up all night and didn't get any sleep until the next night. Those partying days of mine were really great times, but I since then haven't been up so late. I usually go to bed with my husband, the latest at 9:30 pm. He goes to work at 3am so, he has to go to bed pretty early, and I like to go to bed with him.

My record would have to of been 22 hours.. I know I know that might not be a long time but with only 2 hrs sleep than awake, For some reason I wasn't tired so I just kept going than finally after that many hours being awake I finally went to sleep and slept like 12 hours.. Talk about being tired after all that..

I've gone days and nights without sleep. I don't know if it's something for me to be proud of but hey, I survived. LOL. Anyways, the longest I have gone without sleep is something between 48-72 hours straight.

probably from 9AM on day to midnight the next day (about 39 hours). It is tough finishing projects at the last minute but sometimes you have to do what need to be done. In this case loosing sleep :P

I have been without sleep for a day and a half, I stayed up with my aunty while she was in labour, went in at 10 and baby didn't arrive for a while, it was really draining but I was too excited....
