i went 2 weeks straight without sleep once. 14 days.

it was a week before finals, i had 7 papers due (about 150 pages) and i had 7 final exams. i had procrastinated all quarter, all i did for 2 weeks straight, no sleep, was study and work on those papers. during the second week, i'd go in to take my finals, the lady that worked at the department chairs office would ask me, how you doing and i'd say x days without sleep and going strong.

i finished that quarter with all B's.

i know none of you will believe it, but it was true. i have no way of course of documenting it.

BS nothing you wrote would have been passing or made sense after 3-4 days of no sleep, and you wouldnt have been able to pass the tests.... Really man, I believe you could have taken a handful of 15 minute naps during that time, and gone with ALMOST no sleep, but not no sleep period... for 14 days


oh, btw, grats on breaking the world record :disgust: by... 70+hrs


the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest time awake -- 260 hours

again, i already stated i didn't document it, but do you honestly think the record means no one on earth has ever surpassed it? no, it just means that no one on earth has surpassed it in a documented way.

i'm sure many others have done it.

Is anyone else as self destructive as I am?

Shens. Its just about impossible. You'd go crazy.

[Horus]

5 days. That's because I was sitting in a trench, in the either blazing sun or pouring rain or freezing night, with too much food and aholes of section leaders throwing flash-bangs and tear-gas grenades at us if we did.

Hallucinations occur about the 4-6th day . . . often the subject will lose consciousnes [i.e. sleep] without being aware of it. . . . that'd' explain PG's "2 weeks"
:shocked:

 

[Leper Messiah]

I've done 47 hrs. Had a 25 page final for english due the last day of school. That night was an all night LAN party. I think I went through a dozen monsters in 24hrs. gives you heartburn.

 

[cirrhosis]

I stayed up for 5 1/2 days once during the college crunch at the end of a semester five years ago. I wrote this grand paper, but I don't think I've been the same since. I used to fall asleep easily beforehand, but now its a chore to get a wink of sleep. And I'm always tired, never satisified even after sleeping for nearly a whole day. I was seeing things out of the corner of my eyes - fleeting images or shadows that quickly moved; hearing sounds where I knew there weren't any - scratches like claws behind closet doors, bumps and clunks behind me somewhere i my dorm room. By the last half of the last day, I was babbling incoherently; keeping my eyes open took all the energy in the world. A shame really.
