About ~42 when I was a kid. Went to school on a Friday, went to my friends sleepover after, pulled an all nighter, went to LSU game Saturday with my dad. Don't even remember being tired

16-18 hours. I like to sleep.

4 days. I want to say longer but I don't recall for sure. One Adderall would keep me up for more than a day back when I was dumb enough to abuse such things.

Just under 3 days during finals week. Adderall is a hell of a drug. My body was shutting down even though I was awake though. I had random twitches all over the place, back spasms from sitting in a chair studying, insane bags under my eyes. Wasn't a great feeling by the third day.
For work, I've done the 48 hour thing a few times, but did catch a cat nap in a chair or something, so it wasn't truly a constant awake.

I was awake for about 50 hours when our company's server got hacked last year. I now loathe the word "data."

People love exaggerating about how long they can stay awake
Didn't realize it was a contest. I stayed up all night in line for concert tickets and had to help my parents move the next day. It was easily 36 hours.

Right at about 48 hours.
When I laid down finally, I don't even remember really even having to get comfortable. I think I was asleep the second I laid down

Being that I'm not a drug addict or have never served in the military, I'd say about 30 hours.

76 hours...after I finally got to sleep, I can't remember what happened the last 24. Very interesting week...

For work I have to stay up for 24-30 hours a couple of times a month. around 24 hours I start to get very tired. As long as I get up and walk around and do something beside sit behind my computer I do pretty well.

Was a Boy's State and got 0 sleep for about 112 hours or so and a combined 2 hours of sleep over the next day or two. Slept nearly 20 hours straight when I got home.

Several 30+ hours on long drives.
Longest was about 48 hours - spent all one day touring New England - could not sleep a wink that night, then drove straight thru from Boston to Houston the next day.

4+ days here.
I just don't believe this.
As someone else said, unless you're at war in a firefight or a fugitive on the run, i just don't think you can push yourself to stay awake that long. You have to have a life or death reason to pull the last remaining energy to do something like that.

A little more than 12 hours. It was a rough day.
Posted on 10/1/15 at 8:39 am to Titus Pullo
Just over 24 hours.
Side note: I really wish we, as humans, didn't require as much sleep as we do to function. While sleep is obviously a necessity, a tired mind/body can really take a toll on one's productivity.

Since I think you wanted someone to do this. Here it goes.
Oh please please tell us! I bet it's an amazing number of hours/days/weeks. Please, I beg you...

36 was the longest I stayed up. Had an economics final in college and that class was brutual. Poster who said Adderall is a hell of a drug is right. You're wide awake, yet physically exhausted. I couldn't get rid of the shakes for a while

Desert Storm. Not sure exactly how long I was awake during the kickoff of the ground campaign but I'm guessing it was somewhere between 50-60 hours. I do remember by the time we did stop long enough for me to get some shut eye I was about punch drunk.

And you'd be wrong, but thanks for playing.

36 hours while doing emergency winter weather work. Coffee, Mountain Dew, and adrenaline. It is not something I'm looking forward to doing again.
