    Close to 3 days and was working the majority of that. Weirdest feeling of my life, was walking home from work at the end of it and a mate dragged me to the pub - I had about 3 sips of my drink and had to bail as was seeing and hearing all sorts of weird stuff.

    Only way I can really explain the hallucinations is it was like dreams and reality were merging as one and my brain couldnt quite process which was which. How I never got hit by a bus or something on the walk home is still a mystery to me, got home fell into bed and was out cold for about 20 hours.

        Spent 3 days rocking in a chair for a radio last longer contest which I won. This also included very little food. The hallucinations laying in the back seat on the way home were extremely intense.

                  Over 3 days in college. Adderall is overpowered.

                  That comment about hallucinations is true. When I was walking back to my apartment to crash peoples faces would morph as I passed them by. It was surreal, don't think I would ever do it again.

                    4 days. Work and college at the time. I started hallucinating and thought my house was on fire and I was to tired to give a shit. Won't do it again.

                              The summer after my Freshman year of college I participated in a sleep study where they kept me awake for IIRC 85 hours. No hallucinations, but I was lying down and every once in a while my leg would involuntarily kick. I had no other strange symptoms aside from feeling extraordinarily tired.

                                  Stayed up for 30 hours straight. Doesn't seem like much... but man.... won't ever do that again. Not worth it.

                                      Similarly ^^... standing post, working...

                                      ...many unique experiences in service that I'd never want to do again... BUT ... glad I have them in my experience bank (as it gives perspective to everyday bullshit being fairly innocuous -- especially a SBR poker riv card that fukks ya.)

                                          Ive done 24-36 hours many times. I was doing this often as a sort of mind experiment. It get pretty strange when you pass 24 hours.

                                            Without I'd assume.

                                            You can accidentally stay up for 2 days with some help from your friends.

                                                        Reason: survival

                                                        Felt: numb.

                                                        First day of sleep afterword i couldn't sleep then 3 days after not being able to sleep, slept 12 hours straight and then almost lost my mind when i woke up, was very disorientated.
