    What's the Longest You Have Stayed Awake Consecutively?

    How many hours? Why?

    How was it??

    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.

    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.
