ive done 4 days awake followed by 2 asleep, most of the 4 days were done playing starcraft, beyond that i can not remember. I did this about a year ago but then again it isnt uncommon for me to not sleep for about 2 days followed by an 18 hour sleep. I belive i may be an insomniac

76 Hours, 2 hours of sleep, another 48 hours, 45 min of sleep 38 hours.

Ranger School - Phase 1

72 hours. Roadying at a 2 day rave then going to a after party then a punk show after that. Finally crashed around hour 71 or so woke up in the back seat of my then girlfriends car a half a day later.

around 48 hours. Thank you starcraft 2!

Another ex military for 100+ hours

basically I was promised 2 extra sigs would be arriving later that day when I was setting up the radio station. 4 days later my CO asked me what day it was and I gave my serial number he shut down the station until they received the proper allotment of sigs.

at the end I was not even running on autopilot my autopilot was running on autopilot. Most pet rocks would have been more intelligent than myself at that point.

I did not hallucinate that would have at least left me amused or killed some time.

I think only around 24, I am extremely crabby when I have had no sleep. I'm a bit like a baby in that respect...

I think so, as long as you rest your eyes from time to time and grab that latte XD

Stayed up the whole weekend once play fallout 3

I've done the 72+ hour thing a couple of times at LAN parties, totally not worth how you start feeling after day 2.

You don't feel right for a couple of days either.

4 days stuck at an Observation Point in the freezing rain and didn't see a damn thing. I probably did get an hour or two's sleep each day in the LUP but not much.

50 hours. Was too busy with work to get sleep. Fell asleep at 4 in the afternoon once I got back to my room.

A little over 24 hours once, all to get an epic staff on my WoW character, did AV for soooooo long.

Stayed awake for 23 and half hours playing wow...

My wife was away on a trip SO I HAD TO!!!!

Art School demands much of animators ... many an all-nighter across 4 years of schooling.

In fact, so much that I think for a while my body was somehow used to a "longer day", of possibly 30-32 hours. Like, I am incredibly used to staying awake longer than I should, and sleep maybe 5 hours one day, 10 the next, instead of a set number each day.

I have not slept in 3 weeks!

36 hours of xbox gaming.

22 hours of Minecraft Freeplay. Changing Servers for the better!

Friday 35 point tier Steam Roller followed by a midnight madness Hardcore, then a 50 point Steam Roller on Saturday. Topped off with about 4 Redbulls. Fell asleep under some gaming tables later that night. Cant wait for the next CON

March 23-29 2003. Nasiriyah.

I slept on top of a gun truck for thirty minutes and got some sleep occasionally whenever we drove around, but not much sleep in total.

65 hours of not sleeping during Rapecon, the yearly convention for miniature gaming in Finland.

72 plus hours is not fun... I assure you

Did anyone have help with Industrial Strenght Stimulants,who managed to stay up for 72 hours. Miltery does not count. unless you had stimulants.You guys had adrenaline.

I used to know a Tweeker who stayed up for three weeks.After that i think he went to rehab.

I think around 30 hours, can't quite remember.

About 48 hours. Military exercises...gah!

120 hours, Playing Halo Reach when it first came out

Only 24...Xbox gaming with a friend over/ Power leveling in I *think* Runescape.

Somewhere around the 36 hour mark, for me. Back when I was a wee youth at college, that is. Lots of booze and Playstation dance mats

These days I'm tired if I go more than about 12

Voted for 36 hours. Been awake that long a couple of times for quite different reasons.
Though 24 is kinda usual for me, that happends every now and then, while gaming with friends, having long 40k "sessions" or just doing something somewhat important.

4 days during the early 90's. Needed to stay on top of my artist to get the final panel work done on several pages of illustrations so I can send all of the proofs to the printers on time.

Literally was eating/drinking caffeine pills to stay awake. At the end of the third day I started to see things. Almost a bad mental trip.

Then completely crashed for 2 days afterwards.

97 hours.

I had one sick kid, and one coliccy baby.

Not something i plan on EVER doing again..
