    Someone I met last night said he'd done a 48 hour gameathon and then couldn't remember the swipe code for his phone to dial a taxi home. I think about 36 hours is the longest I've lasted. I was walking home and the pavement was going up and down. I think some DJ on the radio years ago in the UK did a radiothon for charity and ended up going bonkers for a while live on air. We obviously need our sleep. How long have you lasted? Any consequences?

    Not sure if i ever stayed up that long with at least a twenty minute nap somewhere. That being said i often get very little sleep. Sometimes just two hours or less. Perhaps the longest would be during my travels or on the holidays. I don't keep track of these things.

    If you're "up" more than 4 hrs you're supposed to call the doctor...

    You'd better get a sleep study, brother Darkness, that's not healthy.

    When I had mono I stayed up for about three days straight because I couldn't breathe whenever I started to fall sleep.
     
  7. I've stayed awake for a hundred years.

    About 36 hours. I pulled an all nighter on CQ duty after being up all day so there's 24 hours, then drove from Oklahoma to Kentucky, about 12 hours. I drank a ton of coffee on along the way while trying to stay awake. It was a weird, spaced-out feeling.

    There was another thread just like this one (same topic), and someone had the audacity to say they were awake for two weeks once.

    3 days, and no I wasn’t smoking meth. You definitely start to go crazy at about the 40 hour mark.

    Meth can keep you up for 2 weeks?
    I don't know these things, I don't mess with any of this stuff (weed, coke, crack, meth, etc.)

    I only know this because I had the same issues for 12 years, and now I have a CPAP. I got checked out only because my wife said she saw me stop breathing in my sleep.
