Then you really won't believe two weeks, and I've seen people stay up longer.

ETA: I wish I would have saved the text messages from a girl that stayed up for a week eating ambien.

Probably not much more than 24 hours when I was young and just trying to stay awake all night. Maybe 36 at the most. I need my sleep.

About 3 days during hell week. You would think you would be able to just fall directly to sleep after something like that but it takes a while for your brain to turn off.

Not sure of the longest duration during this span but when I was at Boys State in the early 90s, I slept a total of 7 hours in 7 days.

I was a wreck when it was over. My mom picked me up and I just wanted to be home and go to sleep. She said we had to go to the store first and I broke down and cried like a three year old.

Amazing how quickly your body revives though; got shot 7 hours of sleep and felt great.

the LSU health center misdiagnosed my appendicitis for tonsillitis after a rough Monday night reggies my second year a LSU.

from Tuesday until my Surgery at around midnight on Saturday I maybe got 3 hours of sleep. I really dont know but it was awful. I could not eat or drink anything with out puking. I was so out of it by the end and everyone was at the JJ spike ole miss game, thankfully my parents had to good sense to get me to the ER or it would have exploded.

How bad were you hallucinating? Bet you spun out pretty nicely.

Right at 4 days for me, finally came down and it was a nasty fall.

Somewhere around 3.5 days working. We were running a weekweek long test on something, and I was the only competent one that my bosses trusted to watch the machine when they went home and slept. After being up that long, it was actually pretty hard to go to sleep

On coke, I think it was Thursday night to Monday morning

I don't care if you were on every drug ever invented, you slept SOME during this time period. Even if only a 20 minute catnap. There is literally no way you went 14 days without a minute's sleep.

But I guess you gotta keep that e-cred up!

Somewhere between 40 and 48 hours straight. I cannot imagine going any longer than that without the help of drugs. I was having brain zaps and felt pretty ill at that point.
