Hey everyone, I'm new here... well... new for the second time. I used to visit this forum on a regular basis about two years ago (when people like Danya were around... anyone remember her?) and thought it was high time for me to make a return.
But anyway.
I started my Lifeguard shift today at 5am... the current time is now 2pm. I didn't actually go to sleep last night, so I have been awake now for approximately 30 hours I think. Naice.
What's the longest you've been awake for?

117 hours. Essays on Thursday night, party on Friday night, then a friend bet me I couldn't stay awake all weekend, school on the Monday, bed on Tuesday morning at about 3.
I've never been a night without sleep (although one time I only slept for an hour). My brother was awake for 42 hours continuously while working on the Trinity College May Ball (http://www.trinityball.co.uk/) in 2004.

i'm a bit of a sleeper, so not long. i like to take naps, too :P
probably about 23 hours on ecstacy and coke over the summer :)
Do drug and alcohol binges count?

Without sleep... um somewhere around 108-112 hours (at that point you really really don't care about anything other than sleep)... gee the army was fun :rolleyes:

Yeah, I love it when those 72 hour OP's turn into 180 hour OP's. Especially when you only brought enough food and water for about 120 hours......

Pulled my share of 72-96 shifts, and a couple over the 100 mark, at that point I was a gibbering wreck, sleep deprivation sucks...

Yes long under-manned OPs watching nothing but the trees... the trees...
"... the trees man... they're moving!... they're coming to get us man!"

Probably about 3 days that I can remember - multiple night sleep overs are evil, evil delightful things lol.
