    the longest you have gone without sleep is minus one fifth of an inch?

    i've probably done just about 24 hours without sleep.

    during last summer though, whilst working 2 part time jobs i found myself only getting 5 hours a night for a few months, generally between 10am and 3-4pm, which any night worker will tell you aren't great sleeping hours.

    Around 40 hours. I remember I definitely stayed up for more than the 36 but less than the ol' 48.

    My girlfriend somehow stayed up the 48. :eek:

    I don't know. Your brain gets a bit fuzzy from 21-22 onwards and you start to forget things from around 30 hours on.

    What's the longest you've gone without reading a thread about this?


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    34 hours, never ever again. Despite that I don't think I'm able to pull an all-nighter anymore, always end up wrecked around 11 the following morning, but it's been about 3 years since I last tried.

    Have done 36 hours several times. About 40 hours was the longest. I only managed them last 4 hours as was on a bus back from Dublin to Letterkenny, and I rarely sleep whilst traveling.
