How long is the longest you have stayed awake for? I have just past 29 hours. I had to do some work last night and didn't get a chance to sleep.
I felt abit tired around lunch time. But I feel calm and alert now.
I will have a longer sleep than normal tommorow morning untill around 10am

I've been up since 4am yesterday. I no longer know which end is up, time wise... our flight to Sweden (where Snoopy and I are hanging around the Norwegian Open) left at 7:20 and we just didn't get around to sleeping... so that's 40 hours and counting. Just trying to stay awake til around midnight or the 1pm start tomorrow is going to make for heavy going!
It's good to know others share this kind of trouble. Isn't sleep great?

As a student (many years ago), some friends & I had a bet on who could stay awake the longest. Well I lasted (I think) 56 hours, the winner was about 62 hours. I remember periods of hallucination, strange euphoria & periods of feeling sick. I also remember that I vowed never to take on this sort of bet again.

Staying awake for ridicolous lengths of time 48 hours+ can cause long term brain damage.
Mind you, so can everything these days.

I managed 52 hours once, but it was pretty horrific at the end.

It can totally change you as a person too. I used to study Psychology, sleep and dreaming was my favourite topic and we learnt about this. Can't remember the details but a radio presenter tried it, caused lots of problems. |

About 10 years ago when my insomnia was really bad I used to get by on around three hours kip every other night. Occasionally i wouldn't be able to sleep at all and be up for three days. It gets to the point you're almost too tired to sleep, if that makes sense. Nowadays I'm the opposite. As a wise man said: I need eight hours a day and 10 at night |

Never have been one for sleeping much - even now. Dont think I could stay awake for 48hrs + though However, on average, 4-5 hours sleep per night was enough, but recently this has needed to increase! Oh the signs of old age  |
