Longest time you spent awake?

**GFX Wiz** · 08-09-2005, 04:41 AM

Driving from Seattle to Fort Lauderdale back in 2001. I drove the first 10 hours then slept -- then did the next 36 hours at once, no rest. Stopped in Daytona for rest then drove the last 3.5 hours the next day. Will never do that again.

**Dalai lama** · 08-09-2005, 04:44 AM

50-60 hours +- Not sure actually

**Jakke PNG** · 08-09-2005, 04:44 AM

propably around 60 hours or so...
but most stressing was a drill in the army where I slept like an hour or 2 max each night for a week, long marches, we pretended it was war...and shit.. that was harsh.

I'm glad I have a 'normal' life now.

So, how about your record?

86.5 hours... writing code on a Timex Sinclair 1000... too afraid to go to bed for fear of losing everything I had in memory until I could get the program running and then find a way to save it to a lame cassette tape.

**Dark Knight** · 08-09-2005, 05:08 AM

i think that would be something like 48 hours, and that was hard. never again. lol

**xfalmp** · 08-09-2005, 05:34 AM

**kektex** · 08-09-2005, 05:20 PM

Around 40 hours once...spent around 10 hours driving then 4 more hours on a ferry to an island here. Once we got to the island we had to look for a mechanic for a friend`s car that was giving us trouble. Then we had lots more things to do.
I do remember I didn`t drink any alcohol or drink coffee.And that while we were at the mechanic`s I kinda dozed off standing up for a few secs and nearly fell to the bottom of one of those wells they park the cars over.Now that I think of it ,driving was a very irresponsible thing to do.
That was hell,never again...I don`t mind admitting I need my sleep.

**Spunky** · 08-09-2005, 05:23 PM

I can't do more than 20 hours tops

**Yngwie** · 08-09-2005, 05:25 PM

**Sarah_Jayne** · 08-10-2005, 03:53 AM

When my husband died I got maybe three hours in three days and not in a row and I was halucinating and stuff. They gave me pills to knock me out. Before that I would say near 32 or something.

**E.Kant** · 08-10-2005, 03:54 AM

Maybe 30 hours !
Counting gets hard the longer you stay awake , and so goes retention

**alias** · 08-10-2005, 04:00 AM

over 8 nights, feeding on latent and ethereal energy, beer and coca

**Tevion** · 08-10-2005, 05:16 AM
