Jacob Mei	Posted - 2008.11.15 07:28:00 - [1] As the subject says, what is the longest that you have gone without sleep willingly and for what purpose? Cat naps count as sleep, you must have been up for the entire duration.

Mankirks Wife	Posted - 2008.11.15 08:04:00 - [4] I remember when I was a lot younger and in high school, my friends and I would routinely play Rifts (with occasional Magic: The Gathering breaks) from Friday PM 'till it was time to head back to class on Monday. I honestly have no idea how I did it. I believe it involved many cases of Mt. Dew and Surge. ---

F'nog Amarr Celestial Horizon Corp. Celestial Industrial Alliance	Posted - 2008.11.15 09:03:00 - [7] 32+ hours when finishing my senior thesis. I got pretty out of it near the end. Thankfully the Interweb was pretty new back then or I would have been awake far longer. Originally by: Kazuma Saruwatari F'nog for Amarr Emperor. Nuff said Originally by: Chribba Go F'nog!

A draft dodger, draft evader or draft resister, is a person who avoids ("dodges") or otherwise violates the conscription policies of the nation in which he or she is a citizen or resident, by leaving the country, going into hiding, attempting to fraudulently obtain conscientious objector status, or by open resistance (civil disobedience). You could have also seen that by looking in a mirror. PS 92 hours.
Spider Silva	Posted - 2008.11.15 09:18:00 - [9] Edited by: Spider Silva on 15/11/2008 09:19:01 4 days on assignment in ireland when i was in the sas. I was hallucinating and delusional my body literally stopped functioning and did a self shutdown.
Corwain Gallente Aliastra	Posted - 2008.11.15 09:36:00 - [10] 4 days strait, mainly amphetamine fueled. I went almost 7 days though with only 1-3 hours sleep a night. -- Distortion\| Distortion 2 Preview

You could have also seen that by looking in a mirror. PS 92 hours. What Jim said is correct for the larger western nations today. And I did my time in the mili, not a "dodger". If a catnap is a few minutes of shuteye, and that ends a period of "staying awake", I think my max is around 70 hours. Was when I left Canada, partied for a couple days straight, packed, then a 16 hour trip home, straight to meeting friends and family. Didn't catch any sleep on the plane(s), because I met this particularly interesting person on the first plane, and we kept each other awake the whole trip. Never saw her again though. These days I sleep every night pretty much, but a bad week will see only about 25h of sleep.
Sazkyen	Posted - 2008.11.15 10:08:00 - [12] Maybe 36 hours. At work. Also, in the middle of the 90s I used to work in three shifts for about a year, that sucked balls. Longest I played a game was about 28 hours. BG2. Honestly, unless you are in some danger (e.g. escaping a steady lava flow or something ), staying up so long is ineffective. Sleeping for a few hours will give you so much extra fitness that there's no reason not to catch a nap. It probably also can have an adverse effect on your health.

Dantes Revenge Caldari	Posted - 2008.11.15 10:43:00 - [14] 7 days When I had a big programming project to complete on a deadline but I was hallucinating big time after 6 days. Then realised it was far cheaper than any recreational meds I could have taken to do it Slept for 2 days solid afterwards. -- There's a simple difference between kinky and perverted. Kinky is using a feather to get her in the mood. Perverted is using the whole chicken. All this has happened before and will happen again
Rhatar Khurin Minmatar Free Ammatar Aid Organisation	Posted - 2008.11.15 10:46:00 - [15] Edited by: Rhatar Khurin on 15/11/2008 10:46:41 5 days of constant SWG (pre-CU). I was nearly crying by the end of it as i had completely lost control of my emotions lol. I slept for 25 hours afterwards.
Xtreem Gallente Knockaround Guys Inc.	Posted - 2008.11.15 12:14:00 - [16] when i was a crazyyyy teenager i read in a mag (i think it was FHM) the stages ur body goes though when deprived of sleep, i decided to test this out, using a mix of coffee, xcom apocolypse and a selection of friends i managed 6 days before i slept like a hooker for days! like a hedgehog i ate tons then slept for around 2 days i think, and still felt like utter crap when i woke up! worth it though, just to write into the mag, just to be told im an idiot for trying :D :D was epic!
Florio Federal Defence Union	Posted - 2008.11.15 13:29:00 - [17] Edited by: Florio on 15/11/2008 13:31:40 72 hours on a MUD named Nanvaent. I also had no food and only a few hot chocolates during that session. I almost passed out on the way back to my digs. That was over 10 years ago now edit/ hey wow nan is still going strong, and my pics are still on it :)
CandyFalcon Caldari 22nd Black Rise Defensive Unit	Posted - 2008.11.15 13:33:00 - [18] I kind of laugh when people talk about the military, government conspiracies, aliens, Area 51...etc.. it makes them sound like they're the young boys that read to many fantasy novels back in their youth...oww well, haha I'm really not sure how long I've stayed up without sleep. I know when Age of Conan came out the first seven days I clocked 153 hours of playtime. Good times, good times.

Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2008.11.15 16:21:00 - [21] Edited by: Akita T on 15/11/2008 16:23:49 Around 53 hours IIRC, but never going to do that ever again. At the end of those 53(?) hours I fell asleep standing up (more like, arms leaning on an open window in the train I was travelling with to get home) and woke up at the first stop. Took a nearly 20-hour sleep in my bed at home afterwards. EDIT: that was "before coffee/smoking" days. Now I'm a heavy consumer of both nicotine and caffeine. 24 hours without sleeping, that's almost normal for me nowadays... I try not to get above 32-ish though.
Nomakai Delateriel Amarr Shadow Company Axiom Empire	Posted - 2008.11.15 16:29:00 - [22] Longest that I know. 65 hours on a LAN back in the '90s The longest I suspect is about 4 days when I was in the military. During big exercises rear echelon troops who aren't designated drivers don't get much sleep. I'm not sure how long I was awake though because it's all a blur of moving stuff, setting up communications equipment, more moving stuff, guardduty, firewatchduty, even more moving stuff etc. I know that I didn't get more than 14 hours of sleep for the entire two week exercise (and 8 hours of that was in one go during the weekend when we were cycled out for 24 hours). Much because the rear command post was moved every 8 hours at least and it took 30 minutes getting it down, 15-30 minutes moving to a new location, 45 min getting it up (operating at full functionality) and then 3 hours to do non-essential crap because either the monitoring officers were *******s or because we were correcting the stuff that frontline troops did wrong because apparently setting up an encrypted frequencyflipping radiolink is too complex for the grunts. ...yes. Still a bit bitter ______________________________________________ -My respect can not be won, only lost. It's given freely and only grudgingly withdrawn.
Euriti Sniggerdly Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2008.11.15 16:30:00 - [23] 35-40 hours at a LAN
armas Gallente Minbari Research Institute	Posted - 2008.11.15 16:41:00 - [24] Can't get past 36-48 hours personally. Though that is without taking any drugs.
ouroboros trading Gallente Federal Navy Academy	Posted - 2008.11.15 16:49:00 - [25] i can't take lack of sleep these days (am 24, anymore than 2 days and i'm just not even human anymore) but when i was younger i'd frequently screw myself up for stupidly long periods of time, not sleeping. And yes, computer games were the reason!
Sokratesz Rionnag Alba Triumvirate.	Posted - 2008.11.15 16:57:00 - [26] About 40 hours on a LAN I think, but I was like 16 at the time and much more resilient to no-sleep. Currently I get itchy after about 24 hrs but mostly because I won't drink as much coffee and energy drink any more as I used to =) Wyvern & Chimera fitting flowchart
Dmian Gallente Gallenterrorisme	Posted - 2008.11.15 17:00:00 - [27] Edited by: Dmian on 15/11/2008 17:02:26 Around 2 1/2 days, finishing a portal project, working for my own company in the dotcom crazy days... We didn't leave the office in all that time. We orderer food or one of us go to get it, and during the night, when all the building services were closed (yep, I mean the WC) we peed in a plastic bottle... ---- Eve Alpha - The font of Eve - Get it here
Baldour Ngarr Aliastra	Posted - 2008.11.15 17:07:00 - [28] Willingly, about 72 hours, on occasions where I've got a little over-enthusiastic about computer stuff. Unwillingly, just over a week. Amphetamines are bad, people. ________________________________________________ "I tried strip mining, but I lost, and it's cold flying around in space naked."
Micheal Dietrich Caldari Terradyne Networks	Posted - 2008.11.15 17:17:00 - [29] maybe 2 days when I was younger. But I'm a sleeper. Slept once for 36 hours straight, completely skipped a day, and 3 people even tried to wake me. I also slept through the only "major" earthquake we ever had up here.
Jacob Mei	Posted - 2008.11.15 19:06:00 - [30] Wow I feel almost less than a gamer now that ive read how long some people have been up . The longest for me was about 28 hours for Halo 3 followed by a standard 8 hour rest. Tried to do it again when GOW2 came out last week though my father walked in around 5 am and had woken up on the wrong side of the bed, best thing for me to do then was just to say good night and sleep for 5 hours until he had gone to work.
