What's the longest you have ever stayed up?

Dear Everyone,
Last night i stayed up till 1:10 A.M to make juggling clubs and before that (long time ago) stayed up 2 whole day’s with my sister…how long have any of you ever stayed up???

Any one???

Give it time before someone replies. you only waited 4 minutes. I’ve stayed up all night before. Like till 6. But thats about it.

Lets see:

day, night, day, night, day… thats about 60 hours.

Last year when I worked nigh shifs I would work a night, then if I had the next night off, Id stay up the next day, then the next night to keep my schedule. So I did 36 hours all the time then.

ummm not too long lol

I need my sleep :roll_eyes:

Eh, I’m a lightweight…only about 24 hours. And me and my friends had a tough time doing that, even when fueled with Monster energy drinks.

Years ago I had to stay up for about 10 days, once. I lived in my studio and was managing three shifts of employees in my studio at the same time. Over the ten days I got about 4 hours total sleep.

I was completely incoherent by the end. I could not understand English, it was as if people were speaking in Arabic or Hungarian to me. I was a mess. I distinctly remember watching people’s lips as they spoke and being throroughly baffled by the sounds.

Serious sleep deprivation. Never again!! now I get 8 every night :slight_smile:

the project was completed on time and I slept for about three days, waking only to have water and use the facilities.

Probably between 24 and 27. I recently slept 15 hours, some of it in my driveway.

depends what I am doing really. Last year, I usen’t to sleep during the school week. but as I kept doing that, I think I ended up staying up about 8 days straight at one point, then slept for a full weekend.

I have stayed awake for 8 and 1/2 days before I finnaly just passed out from extreme exhaustion. I had been having visual and audible hallucinations from lack of sleep.

I know that TheoELind stayed up 6 days a few months ago.

I’ve been known to stay up for 50ish hours… but only when I need/want to. I don’t beleive I could go any longer than that and remain coherent.

about 48 unintentionally, trying to sleep, but suffering from insomnia.
Intentionally maybe 40 working on projects. It’s a bit difficult since I drink no caffeine at all.

Never heard that contraction before…

I haven’t slept since sunday night. All nighters become very natural after a couple of years studying architecture. :slight_smile: Handed my final project in a few hours ago…I’m on holidays now!

Edit - In grade 12 of high school I did two all nighters in a row to get a graphics project done on time…although I did sleep about 1.5hrs during school between them.

I suffered from extreme insomnia about a year and a half ago… i stayed up for about 3 days, slept for two hours, and continued like that until i got sick… then i got sleep medicin. that worked, but i stopped that drug after it didn’t work anymore. then i went to australia and didn’t suffer from any jetlag, and slept regularly. I guess my timeclock was reversed or something, but i sleep more now, still not a lot… it’s still sleep.

ha, well, you get that sometimes. I could have sworn I saw some of the weirdest things. LOL.

I use it all the time. I like it, because it’s odd.

My record is around 40. I went to school on Monday, then stayed up all night working on chem homework. Went to class at 9am and stayed awake the rest of the day. I finally konked out around 8:30 on Tuesday night…at a bar. Literally, at the bar. Tuesday night is $1.50 drafts so my buddies and I went. The next thing I knew, my friend Jim was elbowing me and I came to and immediately said, “No, I’m done.” It turns out that the bartender came over, asked the other guys about their drinks, then came to me, and stood there for awhile. Then Jim noticed and work me up. That’s my story.

Amen. Monster rules!

In case anyone cares, the record is 11 days (264 hours) Held by Ryan someone when he was a high school kid.

When Jimmy Carter took office in 1976 I was so afraid of what he might do that I stayed awake until Reagan’s first watch in 1980. Then I watched “Gilligan’s Island” and went to bed.
