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. ---

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.

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.

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.

Priue Nvidess Gallente Deep Space Construction United Freemen Alliance	Posted - 2008.11.16 00:55:00 - [32] About 52 hours for a LAN party and then in my sleep deprived state I thought it would be a good idea to head home, an hour-long drive, to get some sleep. Driving after weekend-long LAN parties is bad, m'kay?
Alex Raptos Caldari The Firestorm Millennium	Posted - 2008.11.16 02:28:00 - [33] I think my record is 6/7 days aided by lots of pepsi, no Coffee, food on a regular basis and alot of fresh air during daytime. I slept for a full 3 days afterwards.
Leon vanUber	Posted - 2008.11.16 02:28:00 - [34] 6 days. I tried out of boredom to see what would happen. At the 4th day your mind dies and you become a zombie. Was fun while it lasted, would do again if bored enough. It's nothing personal. I just want your stuff, and more importantly the fun of the fight.
Finnroth Caldari The Crimson Fraternity	Posted - 2008.11.16 03:05:00 - [35] Edited by: Finnroth on 16/11/2008 03:07:12 7 days it was for me...may sound stupid and i believe this much is even life threatening, but i drank about 50 Red bulls in that time. Back then i was about 17 of age i believe, no way i could do that today again, more than 48 hours would be close to impossible. Edit: I have to agree with the poster above, after the first 3 days you go zombie - you feel close to no pain, run against closed doors, start to talk of thinks you normally would only think.

DubanFP Caldari R.U.S.T.	Posted - 2008.11.16 03:31:00 - [37] I've pulled an all nighter here or there. Just skipped a night of sleep when I was a teenager. 40 hours or so without sleep. I was a bit tired by the end but it never really hit me hard. Then again i never stayed awake much more then that. _______________ "White, Black, Minmitar, Achura, Male or Female it doesn't matter to me. I'm an equal opportunity killer"

Finnroth Caldari The Crimson Fraternity	Posted - 2008.11.16 04:24:00 - [40] Edited by: Finnroth on 16/11/2008 04:25:13 After those 7 days i was driven back from the vacation in a bus - i even managed to stay awake the tour back home (i will never understand why), but as soon as i had to walk out of the bus to my parents car, i fell down and slept - the next thing i know was sunshine and a fcking headache because of dehydration. It was the better part of the 7th day, but i couldn't have managed to stay awake much longer. 8 days tops. 11 days seems really really* hard. Edit: And i have to say, even though it's nice to think back, it's an experience i only want to make once in my life and never again.
Neyro7830 Gallente Stormfront A.W. Stormfront J.U.N.T.A.	Posted - 2008.11.16 04:48:00 - [41] 6 days 19 hours, but I usually pull off 2 days at a time, and 5 hours of sleep...

HankMurphy Minmatar Pelennor Enterprises	Posted - 2008.11.16 04:58:00 - [42] roughly 4 days it wasn't by choice, it wasn't dont while partying. it was absolute hell and i have no desire to ever go through it again. ------------------------------ everybody be cool this is a threadjack! just lay face down on the ground and no one will get hurt!
Alex Raptos Caldari The Firestorm Millennium	Posted - 2008.11.16 06:06:00 - [43] Originally by: Captain Hudson so most of you where only 4 days away from equalling the world record (11 days) hmmm At 4 days you lose rational sense of feeling (Heat mainly, some people find themselves colder easier) which is bearable to a degree, you also as noted above have other effects that are fairly non-hazardous when you are not just sitting not eating or doing, well anything. But when it gets to the 7/8 days barrier, you will be completely without energy, fresh air does nothing, showers have no effect, food is (or was for me) tasteless. By now people are either going into hospital or realising sleep is a really good idea right now. 2 days is nothing. 3/4days is a bad idea, a full week is heavily not reccomended

Grahv Exitus Minmatar Noob Mercs	Posted - 2008.11.16 08:26:00 - [46] Edited by: Grahv Exitus on 16/11/2008 08:28:13 Longest for me was around 4 days when my daughter was born (Dec. '07). I missed sleep the night before she was born due to playing COD2 from midnight till 9am the next day then just saying ** it to going back to sleep. I missed sleep the next night due to my gf's water breaking minutes after laying down to go to sleep. Then the two nights after she was born keeping watch to make sure she was breathing when she slept. (We had a friend whose baby apparently died of SIDS, made me kinda nervous and still does, I lose a lot of sleep waking up periodically to check her breathing.) I slept for close to 24 hours after that, but for some reason if I sleep for anything longer than 9-10 hours I get a ridiculous headache, and that time was no exception. I'd do it again if for the same reason, as in my mind it was worth the heavy toll on both my physical and mental health. Otherwise I'd say "get **ed"
Yorlock Caldari Farmer Killers United Corporations Against Macros	Posted - 2008.11.16 11:32:00 - [47] is this restricted to just gaming binges? or does that 5 day run down at mardis gras in '95 count?

annoing Absolutely No Retreat	Posted - 2008.11.16 12:34:00 - [49] When I was younger (and before I fell ill with my heart condition) I would purposely go without sleep one day every month. This re-sets your body clock just nicely and makes you more mentally aware. The most ive been without sleep is just 6 days (5 nights). Not as much as some but a bit more than others. I cant give you exact details but suffice to say it involved a party, girls and illegal substances. What can I say? I was young, I was immortal and the girls were just damn easy These days I get by on about 5-6 hours sleep daily.

Sweden, Finland, probably Norway & Denmark too, Germany, and I think Italy, France and Spain as well. So, you know, basically all of them except the Anglos. This is one issue I could be wrong about though. We don't call those who refuse military service draft dodgers though. Drafting is something the US does when it can't persuade more people into fighting.
JadeO Caldari W.A.S.P	Posted - 2008.11.16 13:51:00 - [51] Around 36 hours, iirc.
Patch86 Di-Tron Heavy Industries Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2008.11.16 21:44:00 - [52] Longest for me must have been about 37 hours, when I was at Uni. Woke at 8, went to bed again about 9pm the next day. I had an essay to do (not even urgently; there was about 2 weeks left on the deadline) and really got stuck into it about 10pm. Decided not to break the flow and kept working on it until first draft was done (about 6am). Had a lecture at 9am so I decided to just sty up. Was blinking knackered. ------ Originally by: Micheal Dietrich You can even get a midget with a camera to sit on the floorboard.
Falkrich Swifthand Caldari eNinjas Incorporated	Posted - 2008.11.18 11:03:00 - [53] Yeah, while I was at uni I would sometimes only go to afternoon lectures, and sometimes only to early morning lectures. Confused the lecturers no end. Only go to afternoon : Bed "late", sleep through entire morning Only go to morning : Realise that the sun's just risen and I haven't gone to bed yet. Go to early lecture, then to bed. I went nocturnal for a couple of days at one point too, sleeping through the day and being awake during the night. Gave that one up due to difficulties going shopping. nullnull My sig is not my sig.

Kirra Liu Gemini Industries Inc Sylph Alliance	Posted - 2008.11.18 11:30:00 - [55] On a regular basis I will be awake for 40+ hours, which is absolute crap as it's not out of pure choice. The most I have stayed awake for is about 84'ish hours and by the end of that I was a mess, think I slept for a solid 24 hours atleast after that.
Irish Whiskey Caldari Warped Mining	Posted - 2008.11.18 13:43:00 - [56] So here is the thing, I know from real life events when you are occupied your brain does not care how much sleep you've had. The body will perform! Now, if a human convinces themselves (lotsa computer nerds do, I am one too) if there is a reason to stay up, check the forums one more time! set another watchlist in my rss feeder! check myspacefacebook once again! the body will obey until shutdown happens, which is either lack of stimuli nobody is posting... or a biological function fat boy cranked on pepsi cant hang with a warrior cranked on DESTROY In these cases it is easy to stay functional for upwards of 120+ hours, but the falloff becomes stupidly steep and basic function drops like you drank too much whiskey. There are proven experiments where an individual can maintain indefinite capability with scheduled periodic micro-sleep. This pertained to the study of brain waves during sleep and the cycles in which they occur. most human beings have an average sleep cycle of 65-85 minutes to achieve REM sleep, which is proven to be most regenerative to the body. If this exact cycle can be achieved one every so often, the body can function for multiple hours on one cycle of sleep, provided that it is guaranteed it's next cycle of rest. This is a fact, as I and people I work with have functioned accurately over the course of 800 hours (about a month) can accomplish everything that is given to me and my team given we get our rest when the body needs a cycle.
Khanto Thor Amarr Imperial Academy	Posted - 2008.11.18 14:16:00 - [57] About 5 hours when I was at work, once.... Narcolepsy ftw
KingsGambit Caldari Knights	Posted - 2008.11.18 14:40:00 - [58] Went 2 nights w/o back in my time at uni. First night was an assignment, 2nd was out with friends, fell asleep late afternoon on day 3 and woke up evening the next day I don't know if it is a sign of age, but while I could go a night without and sleep the night after (often do when travelling back from the US to the UK, can't sleep on the plane), I doubt I could go two now. I don't know how anyone here managed seven. Even after 3 days each minute must stretch and fatigue would be terrible, so to push 4 days beyond that point is super-human. I think if you're fit and healthy and are well rested when you first wake, you could probably go a lot longer than an unfit person. 'course caffeine must help -------------

Jacob Mei	Posted - 2008.11.18 17:06:00 - [61] Originally by: Irish Whiskey So here is the thing, I know from real life events when you are occupied your brain does not care how much sleep you've had. The body will perform! I agree completely. I found that when I was doing my binge on Halo3 that if I stopped playing for awhile (stretch my legs and what not) I would very rapidly want to go sleep, however when I went back to playing the fatigue went away and became more aware of my surroundings. I would imagine that this is a survival mechanic from back when Man still had quite a few things hunting him and required action whe tired.
Sikander 2 Caldari Quietly Confident Inc	Posted - 2008.11.18 17:43:00 - [62] Couple of hours. I'm a lazy guy...
Nalust Interstellar Indutry Services	Posted - 2008.11.18 18:55:00 - [63] Proably about 36 hours. Wasnt for any particular reason, just felt like it. I was a freshman in college and decided to do it.
Sqalevon M. Corp Mostly Harmless	Posted - 2008.11.18 19:04:00 - [64] Starting at 8:00 on friday, till 20:00 on sunday. Thats 60 hours straight. I was organising a lanparty for my friends that weekend, had 50 people together in an old office building. after that I slept for 22 hours.
P'uck	Posted - 2008.11.18 19:04:00 - [65] 4 days, then the napping started (only like a mintue sleeping at a time). Total breakdown occured on day 6 or so But the best sleep I ever got was: 12 hours awake -> 6 hour party -> 10 hours of biking over 200 km (was starting to get tired and thus slow) and then off to bed. I think I never slept that well again.
Calvin Firenze Minmatar Malum Crusis IDLE EMPIRE	Posted - 2008.11.18 20:09:00 - [66] I honestly don't know...never had a gaming binge or anything like that. I do regularly stay up for around 40-50 hours at a time when I'm working or on call at work, but its so fast paced I don't even realize that I've just worked 20+ hours until I go to take a break. I sit down at the picnic table outside and light a cigarette...its all over for me.
theghosthunter Caldari Phantom Squad Axiom Empire	Posted - 2008.11.20 00:54:00 - [67] Around about 48hrs, when i got Halo 3 was on it constantly... campaign then online...me loves Halo
Grarr Dexx Amarr The Cosa Nostra La Cosa Nostra Alliance	Posted - 2008.11.20 01:08:00 - [68] Somewhere around... 48 to 55 hours, I believe. Lanparties are bad for health (junkfood in all varieties, brandy in all varieties, gaming in all varieties). I think what really made me want to break this 'record-attempt' was the fact that we were discussing games that were in the 'Subspace/Continuum'-genre. Some poor sap was explaining a weird game to me and I practically fell asleep while he was talking.
Muad' Dib Gallente Beyond Divinity Inc	Posted - 2008.11.20 03:42:00 - [69] Edited by: Muad'' Dib on 20/11/2008 03:47:06 Was in '96-'97, i got my first PC game on my brand new P2 266MHz, it was Tycoon Transporter. I stayed for 72hs awake, listening to Manu Chao - was vey popular on Radio 21 back then. Ever since that episode, i still have this fixation with his songs. As soon as i hear them, i feel uplifted, and shortly afterwards very very tired. I had once a Uni exam, and realized i mixed the dates for the exams, leaving me just a week-end to study with the exam on Monday. It did not have the length of the TT episode but it had more intensity than that one, by Sunday evening i was laughing at anything. :) Also, if anyone wants to go hallucinating, here's how you do it. Sleep has different stages, you interrupt the entry to deep sleep by setting your alarm clock to ring very loudly every 30minutes and you leep thinking about what you want to hallucinate about. Worst i've ever done is after 2-3hs think i was near a giant ship - sea-ship, that could fall and crush me and my world ! PS: Did a similar episode when I got X-COM 3 and JA2, but maybe 2-2.5 days, not 3 at all.
Laughlyn Vaughns Gallente Lagos-Vaughn Industries	Posted - 2008.11.21 12:10:00 - [70] when i first got eve i was unemployed and deceided to catch up with my mates by trainign as many skills as i could quickly and do as much mining to get isk to buy my items, think over my first 2 weeks in space i was up for bout 60 hours at a time, slept for a few hours and then did same again. last year i went out for A-levels results night i was awake the thursday mornign at 5.30 for work, went out, got in was up all night (y'know ) then went back to work to do another 14hour shift in different departments, and then went home to run lv4's on eve with my corp mates. hangover, lack of sleep and trying to interact with customers in a pretty big town centre store was really personally amusing for me since i could hardly string a sentence together by the end of my shift.
