Staying awake for 72 hours

[Salty Dog]

i am attempting to stay awake for 72 hours for a psychology project. it started this morning at 6:00 and i had pt, so i'm already dead. i don't know if i can do it, but i'm gonna try. anyway, what's the longest you have stayed awake for?

[Fintin]

dont stop moving...i have done 48 before...real trick is dont eat at the same time....makes it really fun

[gaz]

About fifty hours. At the end of it I felt surprisingly refreshed, then I sat down and passed out.

[Johnnyringo]

After 48 you're body does attain some sort of sleep... but it's not REM. You can't stay focused without some form of REM after 48 hours. Even one hour would do the trick.

LAN party, about 2 days. The trick is to keep yourself occupied. Computer games are a good example.

[Ichhabe]

about 84-85 hours. Thehours between 20 and 24 was the hardest period. After that, a piece of cake actually. But when I passed out, I passed out.

I can with no problems stay awake between 30-40 hours every now and then. But age is taking it's toll.

[Midtown]

75 hours straight, then I slept for 20 hours (Im not even joking) I woke up from that and had to piss so bad.

Bad idea man.
DOnt force yourself to stay awake unless you have to. No point messing around with yur body like that.
You will be stressed out after 48hours of no sleep, you will have headaches, and you will lsoe your appetite.

I did not sit by a table and tapped my fingers. I was working and was way to occupied to reckognice the symptoms. :D

[memphiz]

60-70 hours, I was going on a car trip, it was insane. I dont sleep much. Right now I have had 12 hours of sleep this week, it sucks sooo bad.

[Truthsayer]

~84h (3.5 day) - had a deadline for a big project and there was nothing else to do then sitting by 15 computers and getting it done.

We where 3 of us and one guy feel asleep after some 48hours. He kinda scared the **** out of us when we suddenly jumped up from his sleeping position and stood in a kata (took a kara-te stance), looking around as scouting us and the surounding for enemies...and the went back to sleep.

He never remembered it after we wook up some 10 hours later and we poored coffe in him.

The worst is the hallucinations... :|

True indeed. Once I drove from illinois to oklahoma and back with out sleep, and when I finally got back I found my buddies and got drunk.
I was awake for about 73-75 hours, it sucked I could'nt eat I had one hell of a headache and I also had the ****s. :oops: Not to mention on the way back I thought I saw a combine driving toward me.

Yeah!!! ****! Had some hallucinations after being up for about 2 1/2-3 days on a manouver.(Mid-winter, -25 C) That was scary. Went over to the XO and told him that. Was revealed from duty and went straight in to my sleeping bag.

[Midav]

There was this one time during hell week... :P

In reality, longest I've been up was right around 50 hours.

[TacoDelRio]

I must be special. Longest I've stayed up is 120 hours (5 days). Slept like a rock after that. (I was sick at the time.) woot woot woot (much w00ting)

You should do a project on me. I bet you $500 I could stay awake for 7 days, out in the field too. Lemme know if you want to study that.

ah be a marine and just do it, ur gonna have to do it in bootcamp anyway (crucible)

Just be careful bud. After 24-36 hours, sleep deprivation can have serious physicaly, emotional, and psychological effects.

By the way, I been awake for a number of days, I don't know how many for the longest duration. I eventually went into something resembling shock though; I went into convulsions and my body pretty much shut down.

So just be safe guys. ;)

Wow, so in like 2-3 years sleep deprivation will be a new 'high'

[SeanAshi]

i am attempting to stay awake for 72 hours I went 4 days, and when it came time for me to sleep after 4days I couldn't get to sleep, it was a really ****ty feeling.

[Tane Angle]

Same thing happens with food.

[Johnnyringo]

funny thing is how it's "fun" to see how long you can go without sleep... When you're not forced to... Come 5:00 in the morning we'll see who's actually letting weakness leave the body.

[Vance]

Longest I've stayed up is 35 hours. Cause I felt like it

[Ratamacue]

You still hanging in there, DEP?

[Trigger]

I stayed awake for..........<yawn> 8 hours one......t..*nods off*.....

















*drools*

Huh? :D

Actually I think 48 hrs is my personal record.

Hey why listen to the older/wiser gentleman,

I mean hey what's a little heart arythmia, huh?

:roll:

Hey, next time see if you can create the effects of over-hydration, and add years of wear and tear in your heart - assuming it still beats properly.

Sounds like an irresponsible project that assumes you are in good health and lack any underlying problems. Yes, this thing happens in the military but they tend to be a better screened for their health and in bettre physical condition than the average person.

[ShotOver]

I'm not going to eat or sleep for the whole weekend, and see what happens.
:P

Yeah, im sooo coool.

[MapleLeafInfantry]

just drink beer, and make sure its good beer like stella, harp or keiths.

[ßå$tĮТHÏ¿ð]

ive been awake for 4 days before, and during those 4 days i worked graveyard shift. Around the third day of caffienne and no sleep I started seeing things that werent there...which was kinda fun in a way.

Speaking of sleep I think I'm going to go catch some.... :P

[Midtown]

Random buttsex comment.

[Dagon]

104 hrs is my personal record. Key things are already mentioned but I'll say them again: 1) Have something to do all the time. 2) Eat&drink often, but don't eat much at once.

[Jack Mehoff]

OMFG! I can' sleep and it's almost 4am in the morning. Good thing it's a Saturday morning. http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/contrib/lynx/greydead.gif

Wouldn´t a good idea be to just step away from the computer. And take the train
to the nearest town where you simply can´t fall asleep no matter how much you
want it.

[Seoulstriker]

biology test in less than 2 hours... I couldn't imagine not sleeping. :| woot

[Haiw]

Not sleeping is sweet...it saves a lot of time. Just don't try to combine it with drinking. :D

[Salty Dog]

****, i got 48 hours, and then i dozed off and woke up an hour later. .....worthless turd..... :oops:

[Sierra]

40-48 hours maybe

[Salty Dog]

i mean technically i am still sleep deprived, because i only had an hour of sleep, but i didn't get the 72 hours i wanted to :P

It went really well! There's a guy on my floor who stayed up from 10:00PM to test time studying. :| I couldn't imagine doing that.
