The longest I've ever gone without sleep was about three days. They were terrible days and I felt awful by the end of it. Right now, though, I've been awake for about 34 hours.  I'll probably be going to bed soon. I feel like a zombie.

What's the longest you've ever gone without sleep? Why?

Less than 30... on sleep-overs. But that's it.

I've done roughly 30 hours before...  I could go for more, but honestly the older I get the more I like sleeping, and the novelty of being able to say "I once stayed awake for X hours" really starts to seem unimportant after 24 hours of wakefulness...

How do you manage that in a 24 hour day?

Even if you nap, you must have skipped your nap at least once in your life...

3, 3-4 days?

Can't remember why, but I know I wouldn't do it again. The old paranoia starts to kick in around day 2.

6 Days (Or if you wanna be exact, about 135 hours)

Was travelling and doing LANs and testing out the drug "enhancing" properties of grapefruit juice. Mostly the LANs and grapefruit juice thing though. I slept a good day and a half after that. Ahhh... I love thee summer.
