I've been awake for 38 hours

Near 72 for Coachella '10. I remember waking up and we were already in New Mexico.
 
4 days. No drugs or trying to stay awake, just could not sleep.
 
46 hours; from 11am to the 9am deadline for my assignment two days later.

nothing really bad happened apart from the veins on my arms started really sticking out and became solid like pencils stuck to my arms. :|

It was tough for me though, I involuntarily fall asleep all the time...in lectures, in the office, in the cinema etc etc. i even fell asleep in an exam once.
In those days, when I was working on something in my room i could be working one moment, and next thing i knew i was waking up on my bed (fully clothed) with no recollection of actually leaving my desk. I couldn't have stayed up so long if I had been in my own home where i can just sleep.
 
48 hours studying for finals in college. With the help of 30mg Adderall XR. What kind of scared me was after the first 36 hours, I wasn

Studying. I'm done now but I can't just pop out of gear and go to bed, so I'm re-watching Hendrix-Koschek.

I seem to be having visual disturbances. At the periphery of my field of vision, I keep seeing movement, like a moth flitting by or something.

What's the longest you've stayed up, sans drugs?
- anybody ever experience minor hallucinations/visual disturbances?

i used to buy aderrall from friends in college when i needed to cram. after like 24 hours of being awake, studying did me no good. you need your sleep, bro.
 
I fondly remember is graduate school staying up for 48 hours due to 7 doses of 25mg Ephedrine and 200mg caffeine. Needless to say by the time I fell asleep I was slurring like a drunkard and proceeded to become ill.
 
I was awake for about 42 last week. I get severe headaches that keep me awake until I basically pass out. It's not fun.

I probably slept 4 hours last night because of a headache. It's the bane of my life.
 
a little over 7 days when i tore muscle in my shoulder. pain medicine did zero for me and i could not find a comfortable position to sleep in. worst pain ever. started hallucinating a little/losing my mind around day 4.
 
Most I ever did was ~ 55 hours. During finals at a state university of course.

Caffeine and prescription Adderall were involved.

I returned to my dorm room somewhere around 10 am ish on the third day, sat down and noticed that a tapestry in my dorm depicting two celtic style serpents entwined in a celtic knot was moving as if alive.

At that point I decided that minor visual hallucinations were probably a bad thing, so I took a few bong hits and fell asleep until ~ 8pm when I woke up, ordered a pizza, and started drinking with my floormates.




Now in my thirties if I go even a single night without sleep I'm almost guranteed to get sick.

I fucking hate sleeping. I have to be up in four and half hours for work and I still don't want to go to sleep. I fight it for as long as I can, then I eventually have to sleep and then I'm exhausted the next day but I rinse and repeat until my body takes over and demands a 10-12 hour coma to recharge my batteries and then I just fucking start it all over again.

Sleep is a waste of fucking time. Why haven't we evolved past it yet?

*Goes to bed cursing the zzz's*

haha, i'm the same way.

i love having fun too much. i'll work, then go out after work, then get home really late, and have no chance to sleep properly.

it's only on the weekends when i catch up.

Typical. Take something completely different from what I have said.

Sleep is fine. Pussing out and blowing something off because you didn't get enough sleep is bullshit and annoying. Mentally weak.
 
3 days and 2 night. By the end of it I wold have gladly died. Friend gave me a couple of Diazepam. Slept for something like 18 hours.
 
about 4 days. and I slept about 3 hours the other days that week. was seeing shit and hearing shit. was basically dreaming while awake was crazy shit.

but recently about 60 hours and just tired at the end
 
Lol what is wrong with you? You can't focus well on anything beyond 9-10 hours and that's a stretch.
