I was doing it for charity, trying to stay up a whole week. I remember one of the guys, who were taking it in shifts to make sure I didn’t fall asleep, grabbed my shoulder and he said to me
“What are you doing, mate?”
I explained that I was catching the feathers that were falling out of the ceiling, he told me to go to sleep. I asked if I had gone a week and his exact words were
“Mate, f*** the starving children, you’ve gone mental! GO TO SLEEP!”
Apparently after he said that I just smiled at him and collapsed.
I’ve been awake in 23 and a half hours!
I slept in a tent. There were too much people in that tent, and didn’t sleep so good that night. I Had someone’s foot in my back.
I get a headache everytime I think of it … Bad memories!
I’ve done about 36 several times but never really wanted to try longer. I get really cynical when I go for long periods without sleep and I have so far FORCED myself to sleep after the 36 hour mark so that I can get stuff done. I’m positive that if I had to I could last at least 36 hours longer, as I’m usually not even sleepy hence I had to force myself to go to sleep.
I have been a awake for +/- 26 hours. I felt like I was drunk. In the morning it felt like it was evening. I had to laugh all the time and world felt like a dream.
I was talking to my friend at work today. He was off yesterday, so stayed up from sunday after work until yesterday afternoon. 28 hours total.
I told him I would beat that on thursday/friday (I’m off on friday) So I just won’t go to bed thursday night. I’m sure I can do it. I can also sleep in saturday morning, I don’t work till 12:30
This will break my last record of about 19/20 hours
I think that the maximum amount of time i’ve stayed awake was about 30 hours, i couldnt sleep and it was a few days after christmas so i spent the night listening to the radio on my mp4, aswell as reading stuff on it. When i went into town with my mum the next day, i felt really spaced out and it was kinda weird, almost like i wasn’t actually there.
the maximum number is about 30-31 hours it was an after school lock in and i went to school that day and was up about 6 in the morning and stayed up all night at the school then went the next day due to not being a graduate and didn’t sleep till about 9 in the morning. so it was crazy started speaking all sort of gibberrish and wasn’t making any sense what so ever.
i have went 2 days straight without sleep (48 hours and 25 minutes to be exact) i was on a road trip with my friends right after school let out, for the summer.
i went for about 2 days off the end of a psychedelic adventure, had to work on the 2nd, starting seeing white rabbits darting in front of cars, and decided that was enough.
