30 plus hours numerous times and 3 days with only 4hrs sleep.

I actually have a hard time going to sleep after I've been up over 24 hrs.

Probably close to two days when I was in pre-term labor. I laughed because the nurses where like I notice you aren't sleeping and I'm like yea I'm having contractions and yall have me on very necessary medicine for my child's development and I'm nauseous and have to pee every 10 minutes. And you are in here every 15 minutes for vitals.

68hrs. Could’ve gone longer, but was forced to go to sleep by my CO. Mind and body got to the point of not wanting to sleep after about 40hrs. Weird feeling when you know and feel exhausted, but at the same time have a ton of energy.

36 hours. I did it over labor day weekend a few weeks ago for an IT project at a bacon factory. Most challenging weekend of my entire life.

72 hours I believe. Strange thing about it is that day 2 and 3 of being awake, there's an unusual sense of "smoothness" going on, although I'm certain there's a better way to explain it. Basically, you tend to shed social anxiety that you may possess.

Approximately 90 hours once. Due to an episode of extreme anxiety. I had tachycardia, mild chest pains and restlessness for 4 nights. Never hallucinated, but felt myself losing my mind which was very real and terrifying. There's a point of no return and I was getting there. The doctor gave me like 150mg of Sertraline. I finally took a nap that evening for 3 hours. Everything went back to normal pretty fast after that.

Scariest thing I've ever gone through.

81 hours during a field problem. I had to have an NCO help me to the sleep tent to keep me from faceplanting.

Started drinking whiskey on a Friday and stopped at 2 am Monday morning without stopping sleeping or eating.


I may or may not have done a significant amount of blow

About 100 hours - also in vegas

Oh wait I guess more like 75. Flew to Vegas early, got into some doses and didn't sleep for a couple nights. I did lay down in the bed and rest for 3ish hours each night/morning
