Re: How long have you gone w/o sleep? Tell me your stories.
I stayed up once for 32-36 hours before passing out in the middle of the living room floor. I was working on a project for English class in my senior year of high school that I didn't get done until last minute. When I woke up, I was really groggy, my eyes were in pain if I were to stare at something for more than 5 seconds, I got really irritated by the smallest things, and I had school that morning. I did not have a good time.

Just under 5 days. I actually ended up going to the doctor about it because I just didn't feel tired ever. My body just kept going and rarely felt sleepy. I was prescribed some sleeping meds that knocked me out for a day and a half.

Re: How long have you gone w/o sleep? Tell me your stories.
most i've stayed up is 40 hours. I had insomnia when I was younger and I'd often pull all-nighters even during school days, just to play counter-strike and drink bawls.
Re: How long have you gone w/o sleep? Tell me your stories.
a little over 100 hours. I was in 4th grade and my friends parents lived in this tight ass house by the country. His parents left for a 4 days for a vacation and were cool with me staying with my buddy zach the whole time. We decided to stay up the whole time they were gone. I remember at one point we were playing hide and seek and I went in his parents closet and there were a bunch of sex toys and videos and stuff. Towards the end we also convinced ourselves there was a werewolf under the house, we definitely got delirious haha

haha thanks, I certainly wouldn't have been able to do it if it wasn't for the competition and having a friend there. We were literally too scared to go outside even if we had a camera though.
Re: How long have you gone w/o sleep? Tell me your stories.
In the last year or so I've been pulling a ton of all-nighters because of my art projects. Normally, when I stay a whole night awake, it's for friends or something. (Friends include: staying awake watching funny cat videos alone)
Thing is, the only times I've gone farther than 2 days occurs at random, normally when I venture into the night. Last time I believe was at the local LAN party (which sucked badly). I hadn't slept the previous day and decided to head there without any sort of preparation. Quite the adventure I must say.
When I'm in need for sleep (Need For Sleep 2: Most Wanted), I often experience distortion in perception and visual hallucinations. The slow-motion or sped-up sensation is the worst, happens every time. And I'd like to have some lucid dreaming one day, seems cool.
I don't like sleeping. It feels like I overlap on my awake life.

68 hours, lan party(at school with 50+ people) nearly nonstop. Won 3 tournaments(Red Alert 3, Trackmania and Unreal Tournament) and improved scores on stepmania after 48 hours mark (apparently I'm a lot more consistent when I'm tired because my hands are all jello. It makes me not tense up or overthinking while seeing patterns). I remember at the end thinking all the time that there was people behind me, having serious tunnel vision, being numb and trying all the time to not move too much to avoid wasting energy. I also didn't eat during the 2nd and 3rd day somehow. Not exactly the wisest thing to do, but I don't regret it 'cause the people at that place were really cool, everything was fun and I didn't really want to miss anything. I slept like 16 hours after it and it took me 3 days to completely recover, but whatever.
