Title: Longest you've ever stayed up
Post by: Thirdkoopa on May 21, 2010, 05:23:25 PM
Through the past few days, I managed to cap in at actually around 71 hours before I completely crashed. Those hours involved;

-Going to the mall
-Making a bunch of random graphic art
-Trying to stay serious in chatting
-Turning more hostile and awkward out as usual (Near the end)
-Being extremely cold due to my parents putting
-Having an adrenaline rush which LITERATELY made me go insane for 20 minutes. I can't even describe those minutes.
-Talking about Computer OS's (or whatever) with Obsidian
-Tons of good (And intercourse ing terrible) chat logs. Most notable being this (http://nsfcd.com/index.php?topic=31333.msg561860#msg561860)
-Eating a lot of cereal. A lot.

And sadly more.

Discuss your longest staying ups.

One day. It consisted of staying up all night to avoid waking up late to buy Pokemon SoulSilver, and then crashing an hour after I got back.

Somewhere over two days. I didn't count the hours. I don't even remember what I did for the first day, but after I stayed up all night in chat talking with Sync, then the next morning I went to the doctor to get a physical, spent a day at the beach, and went home and went to sleep at a normal time. It wasn't hard to do, and I wasn't trying to stay up or anything, otherwise I definitely could have gone for another day.

Also, this Summer I'm going to attempt a psychology experiment. 300+ hours, not sleeping at all. I almost have my mom backing me up on this, although she keeps saying stuff like, "That's dangerous, you could die" and poop like that. But when I told her about logging the experiment, continuous checkup at a sleep clinic and the such, she seemed more willing. The only problem is I need her support because there's no way I'll be able to drive with 300+ hours of no sleep, and most of my friends either can't drive or wouldn't be able to take so much time out of their week to keep driving me to a doctor to make sure I'm not going to die. I'll have her come with me to talk to some doctors about backing me up on this, and if I can get someone than I'll be golden to go.

Approximately 36 hours, 42 minutes. I woke up at six AM the day of the midnight release for Book Seven(you know the one), waited impatiently for it, got to the book store at six PM, waited for six hours, looking at the books they had, grabbed the first copy of Book 7, bought just as the clock it midnight. Went home, read the entire series. Didn't eat, didn't drink, didn't use the restroom. Didn't need to. Eventually went to sleep at 18:42, after realizing I had been staring at the last page for the past three minutes, not reading.

somewhere close to 2 days....well I had a 10 min nap at like 8am between but I don't think 8 min really counts as sleep

2 and 1/2 days.

It was funny, because at the end of the night, I was tired, but in the morning I felt rested.

Huh?

2 1/2 days. I probably consumed about 10 2 liters of mountain dew in one of these days. That was such an amazing weekend. Lots and lots of Xbox/N64 games.

Probably around 36 hours.
Then I turned into a zombie and crashed for 15 hours.

Well, when I pulled an all nighter, then couldn't sleep during the day (I have extreme difficulty in doing so)

Was probably about 30 hours.

96 hours or so. Last summer. This is how it basically went:

Parents "Go to bed soon, it's getting late. We're tired. Goodnight."
Me "Ok, I'll be up in an hour or so."

I stay up all night doing stuff. Then I pretended I woke up before them.

And surprisingly I didn't drink any soda or coffee or whatever. I wasn't even tired after it all. I just went to bed because I ran out of things to do. :3

Actually, that IS dangerous. As long as it's in a controlled experiment then it'll probably be fine. But in all honesty, there is a point in sleep deprivation where you will just collapse and die due to pure exhaustion. There is a reason we spend the largest portion percentage wise of our life sleeping. It's basically why the Nightmare on Elm Street movies are so ridiculously bullpoop when you actually know something about the subject. Even if the kids didn't die from sleeping and getting killed by Freddy, it's only a matter of time before they simply collapse and kill themselves from not sleeping.


ANYHOO the longest I've ever stayed up is about 30 hours or so. That was last Momocon where I was in charge of overnight. Then I went to my dorm and slept for...about 3 hours, stayed up another 12 to go back home for spring break and finish the convention. Woo. It's always amusing how after you reach the 23 hour threshold your internal clock sort of resets and you don't feel as tired.

You'll start hallucinating after two or three days. 300 hours is 12.5 days, and most people are lucky to make it to 10 before they die.

Very recently, around 68 hours. I eventually went to sleep, since this consisted of going from sunday throughout half the week, and I had school. :/

Oh yeah, the reason I was awake for 68 hours is because I have like, really bad insomnia. I hate it, really. >_>

I was stuck in my old small town that has nothing but trouble
It's just me and my friends and the chicks which is part of the problem
