What's the longest period of time you have gone without sleep?

Somewhere around 40 hours. It was fun, though the end became a flat-out battle to stay away. I'd hit lemons with a baseball bat and then walk into the ensuing cloud of lemon mist with my eyes open to wake myself up.

I think now that I know how to make a damn tasty Rum and Bawls it could be a lot more fun. ;)
 

I dunno...id would say 24 hours. Of course, today I'm easily going to hit that cause I couldnt sleep...at my current pace, probably 36 hours.

probably about 60 went to 2 all night parties in a row then slept for a day. I spent most of this time drunk so it wasn't quite as bad
