what’s the longest you went without sleep?
-
Haven't gone more than 24 hours, if I had to guess maybe 20 hours.

I was 4 days amd no jokes waa seeing plad. My boss took me on a casino trip where I thought it was an hour away but ensed up going a state away so 10 hours both ways. And stayed their a day thwn I had to work a full shift whenever we got back. I was only to do email tickets as I sounded drunk on the phone. But could tickets in my sleep almost literally.

In 1989 I was one of the participants in the (then) Guinness World Record Endurance Computing held at the Hobby Computer Club days (HCC dagen) in the Netherlands.
The record was for 63.5 hours, but I had a two hour or so commute in each direction and the event started (from memory) at noon.
I'm guessing that I was awake in total for about 70 hours. I fell asleep on the way home.
We published a newsletter called "Elephant News" every few hours. Time keeping was managed by official time keepers and it was entered into the Guinness World Records in the 1990 book. I have a copy somewhere.
At some point not long after, Guinness abolished all world records that only had a time component and as far as I know it still stands

I think around 48 hours.
High school LAN parties.
-
Idk how many hours but i skipped two sleeps, was gona skip a third but was forced to sleep. Was binging skyrim lol
-
72 hours finishing an application so we could train on it immediately after. What a shitshow.
-
72 hours to finish a design project for a client. Hard deadline to make it to the printers in time for a trade show. By the end, I couldn't see straight. Slept for 18 hours after handing it in.
Saw the end product at the trade show. Horrified to pick out so many small errors. Customer was happy, though. Got two more projects.
Never did it again, but it was good to know I could.

My answer is almost exactly the same as yours. It was me and my friend doing it together.
-
3 ish days, it was awful
-
Around three days. No drugs, just showers and energy drinks I took sip by sip for a long time. I was somehow productive, but caught my attention stuck a couple of times on something banal like a working microwave buzz. Everything felt dull and I seemingly had no emotions near the end.
-
Maybe 2 and a half days, helped by ecstasy and LSD.
-
Wow neat, wonder if any photos survive
-
The best and only way for a 48 ride ! Although It can be the best ride ever, or the worst nightmare you will ever experience :/. Either way those experience are the two sides of the same coin !
-
Yeaaah ! Counter-Strike 1.5/1.6 era with Day of Defeat and some Ricchochet for chilling off your nerves !
-
3 days. Mostly just eating fruit and water. Caffeine and processed sugar leads to crashes that I'd learned from previously. I could have done 4 days, but I began to notice that I was not paying very good attention to passing traffic when crossing the road, so I stopped.
-
Around 2.5-3 days. On a LAN party in 2003 or so. 2 nights without sleep. Lots of caffeine. It was fun at first but really started feeling terrible after the 2nd night.
-
3 nights. On the 4th I got 3 hours of sleep.
-
With 30 mins naps included, probably 72 hrs during filming a short film.
But if youre asking for a straight awake, it is around 26-27 hours. It was also during that time. The first day of filming until I got my first nap.
-
I had insomnia for many years. I slept 30-60 mins a night then crash for five or six hours once a week. It was horrible. I’d rather take these mind altering drugs than go back to that
-
3 days and 2 nights in the military.
In the 3rd day I was semi-awake and seeing shit. i.e. familiar home town sceneries behind distant trees, although I was nowhere near.
