I managed to stay up past 60 hours in the past. I haven't attempted doing it ever again because I was miserable after the second day with no sleep.

2 or 3 days when I went overseas.

I wish I could sleep for 38 hours straight. zzz

Playing games and looking forward to the beach though I should have been resting up for it

I have stayed up for 6170 days, non-stop. I do, however, go to sleep at night.

[quote=Ricci]7 days, 6 nights. first year of college. after the first 2 nights, it wasn't so bad. did those first 2 nights because was studying so hard for finals, then when i was still alive i wondered how far i could take it. lots of coffee and adderal later, there i was a week in. got a headache and finally had to sleep. the hardest part was remembering stuff- it was hard because i wasn't remembering things like yesterday, 3 days ago, etc., because it was all like one long day, and it was all blurred together[/quote]
Day 1 without sleep: Extreme fatigue, poor coordination, and low focus.

Day 2: Fatigue Worsens, focus is almost nonexistant. Frequent hunger. Hot and cold flashes add to the misery.

Day 3: Fatigue is replaced by a nervous, almost manic energy. You feel that you can focus, but in reality cannot. Hunger worsens.

Day 4: Fatigue returns. Your body will feel like it is breaking down. I am no stranger to severe injury, but can honestly say, this is the closest I have ever felt to death. You can actually feel your body dying. That may not be the case, but I have no other word to describe the feeling. Most of your time spent in a disassociative fugue. Even without sleeping, you will begin to lose track of large segments of time.

Day 5: This is when the hallucinations start. large blocks of time gone missing, you'll go through entire classes at school, then look up, and realize you are in your room, and the classes never happened. Talk to people, freinds and family for hours, make plans, then look up, and its 10 minutes later in your room. I hear scratching on the walls, but no matter how fast I turn my head, the scratching will always be 90 degrees off center, just out of my sight. I hear gentle, and sometimes not so gentle knocking at my door, to open it and find no one there. Tapping at the window when you are not looking at it.

Day 5.5) about 12 hours into Day 5, the visual hallucinations begin. You will look at something, and small shadows will suddenly dart out of your peripheral vision. If you try to visually follow them, you can't, they're gone, but more will dart the other way out of the corner of the opposite eye. Sometimes, the room will suddenly darken, or slide out of focus. (Interestingly, the shadows running in the corners of your eyes do not).

Day 6: Things start to get really weird, but I'd rather not discuss it.

Sleep deprivation can be fatal, but it usually takes more than one week. I have heard estimates from 10 days to 3 months. Studies have proven that it can kill though. I do not recommend trying it, as any sleep loss is very bad for your health. This is what I experienced, hope it helped.

Happened to me a month or two back, no energy drinks/jet lag or anything, just never got tired, was up for a bit over 50 hours before I fell asleep.

Go to bed o.o it will wreck your internal clock. I think my best was like 41 hours when I was like 10. Recently I went a week with about 20 hours sleep in total (After that I slept for like 18 hours straight got food and then went back to sleep for like 5 more hours.
