"Longest you've been without sleep?"

I've had two over 48 hours

I'll try work how long they were

One was my school trip to Paris

I got up about 7 that morning, we went to school then left at 1 in morning. Never slept a wink on the bus, arrived in paris at about 4 in afternoon, we had a party in hotel that night. I was so tired I couldn't get to sleep if you catch my drift, I think I eventually passed out after Disneyland at about 5pm that day.

I do believe thats about 58 hours... although I may have dosed off on the way to Disneyland that day. I was't actually that tired until I stopped moving then slept that whole night, it was great. And enjoyed Disneyland the next day.

Second one was Summer 2001

Once again up at around 7 on the Friday for school. We helped with school show that day, then helped at the show at night. There was a party after the school show which lasted the whole night. Went home but it was about 6 so never went to sleep. Then we went into Glasgow on Saturday and off to another party that night which again I never got any sleep but eventually came home and went to bed at about 10 am.

I think that's 51 hours... once again as above I never felt that tired, after you hit a certain hour things seem to lose focus and you lose track of time but when you close your eyes you go BOOM into a deep sleep.

My mate claimed he was awake for over three days as he became addicted to caffeine pills and was scared of the hotel he was staying in.

So what's yours?

16 hours sleep? That's nothing! :P

My mate went without sleep for 3 days and slept for 20 hours solid :)

I slept from 10pm until 2pm. No idea why really.

Wow! FIVE OR FIVE DAYS!?

If I'm on a computer, it's basically impossible for me to fall asleep. A computer keeps me awake for some reason. Must be either the flashing images or the leather chair I sit in.

The longest I've ever slept is 9 hours, and that was this morning - 3am - 12pm :(

Erm, can't remember, but it was something like four or five days between sleep. The more I got tired, the more I saw things, which kept me awake... and then I'd just get up, try and take my mind off things, big vicious circle. I think I kept falling asleep for what seemed like days, but was only an hour or so.

I really can't remember it very well though.

Oh, and it was 32 hours, to prove that I can stay awake longer than my brother.

Fell asleep whilst watching a Saved By The Bell marathon :\

:0)

Two days-ish, learning that caffine pills and me don't mix.

However, my personal best for uninterrupted sleeping is around 16 hours.
