The longest you've ever been up?

[Mike_Yates]

I did 3 1/2 days and almost blacked out.

What's the longest you've ever gone without ANY sleep?

 

[boredVAwife]

Did my first Iron Butt ride 5 years ago and we decided to make it 1500. Wound up going sleepless for 38 hours but most of them were while riding. Too dangerous. By the end I was literally seeing bright spots and halucinating.

 

[Pleasesuckle]

70 hours straight in college...I then slept for nearly 48 straight...except once to get up and pee. My room mates were going to call an ambulance.

4 1/2 days, and I thought I was going to die.

 

[warrior queen]

4 days, in the mid-80's, on a yacht in the far southern Indian ocean, battling a heck of a storm front.
We shipped 8 tons of water, pitch-poled twice, rolled 3 times, and yet somehow survived and made it to a tiny little island called Isle St Paul.
After making several repairs, I got to sleep for the next 2 days.

I took a little blue pill and the package said to call a Dr if you have been "UP" for more than 4 hours...whats your point

 

[strapon_tales]

Thirty-six hours.

Right at 4 "daze". I was a cherry FNG in '69 and we were attacked,rocketed,mortared daily and probed every night.
My cig butts matched the number of my empty casings around me!
I later learned to cat nap some shuteye time but with my ears still alert.......still do.

36 hrs also, and yep hallucinating at the end too. Not fun.

A buddy of mine talked me into doing some chrystal meth once, and I was up for three days (72 hours) I had no idea it was gonna keep me up that long, otherwise I would of never done it because i still had to go to work even though I wasnt able to sleep. I dont know how in hell I survived those three days, but I do know one thing, ive never touched meth again.

 

[Mike_Yates]

I was in my teens when I was up for 3 1/2 days. Now I am starting to break down physically, mentally, and emotionally.

I don't think I'd be able to do that again.

 

[Mike_Yates]

I was in my teens when I stayed up for three days in a row.

But now, all of the adversity and hardship I've experienced throughout the years is finally taking it's toll, I feel myself breaking down physically, mentally, and emotionally.

I doubt I'd be able to do that again in my current physiological/psychological condition.

If I tried that again I would probably die.

As a former military guy (Marine), thanks for your service

Where did you come from?

 

[boredVAwife]

Where did you come from?

Her momma?

On a serious note I am amazed at all the folks that have gone 3-4 days with no sleep. Wow. How?

 

[bluemuse]

I suck at staying awake. I've done 36 hours and I was a babbling idiot by the end.

 

[Noor]

5 days, no idea why, just couldn't sleep. By the 3rd day its easier.

 

[Riles]

I was really expecting this to be about an entirely different form of longevity.

That is because you are a perv!

I've done over 24, but only because I can't sleep on flights. Yes, it was ugly.

 

[Riles]

Mmhmm....and I'm totally disheartened that nobody else seems to be.

 

[fluffPE]

We are all normal here.

Around 30 hours when I worked with a garments factory.

I can't imagine you guys can go more than that.
