Longest you stayed awake?

I've stayed up nearly 70 hours. You get pretty damn ornery, confused, disoriented, and anytime you sit down you can fall asleep without realizing it.

I would stay awake between 30-40 hours pretty regularly as an undergrad at UT. I would also notice just some slight out of body or paranoia type feelings, just very slight but they were there.

I used to do the all-nighters for big exams. It's amazing how keyed up you can be at the test - not tired at all - and then five minutes after the test your body knows it can slow down the engine. You're all of a sudden exhausted.

Yes, know that feeling well.

Another interesting question would be, longest you have slept? This one is harder to do and I imagine a healthy body will not allow a person to go too far here.

I worked the night shift for my last 3 years as an undergrad and did not give up the life of a normal college student. Thus, I slept very little.

It has been a long time, but I believe I remember crashing on my couch one afternoon around 3ish to take a nap before going out to party for a Friday night. I literally did not wake up until close to noon the next day.

That's dangerous. The last time I stayed up for more than 24 hours I had gotten trashed the night before. I fell asleep standing up at work and bashed my head on a counter.

Longest ever, probably close to 60 hours.

I was up for 36 when I went to the Arky game last year, we left really early so I didn't sleep the night before. I was also trashed by the time we got to Knoxville.

No joke, I stayed up 13 days, but I was in active addiction at the time. the scary part is that I was driving all over Nashville during that time. That binge ended when I was stabbed 3 times during a fight, didnt realize it, drove away, passed out from loss of blood and flipped my car into a ditch, ran away from the police on foot. Then spent 4 days in the hospital. MY doc said that if I went to rehab he wouldnt turn me in and he even found a place for me.

well, I was bleeding alot and after I wrecked I took off my shirt and help it to my side where the bleeding was coming from. I didnt actually "run" from the cops, but when I heard the sirens I hid from them. This all happened on Dickerson Rd in Nashville. I was stabbed in the parking lot of The Starlight.

Hey rex I just sold phone/internet services to a company in Russellville... small world.

I have a friend who in high school slept 24 hours straight. Took a nap before dinner and woke up the next night around the same time asking his mom when dinner was ready.

He thought he only slept for like an hour...
