What's the longest time you've ever been awake at a time?

~36hrs
a couple times.

might have been ~40 once.
I could not sleep for about approxiately 36 hours because of over work. The longest stretch I ever slept was 12 continous hours without waking up to ease myself because I cycled over 100 miles in 12 hours with 3 breaks for foods and drinks. The longest time I had ever walked was 10 hours in the rain forest with the last 2 hours in the rain. OMG those were the days. bye friends
Nearly 2 days here. I decided a couple of summers ago to stay up gaming all night then the next day I went out spent all day doing stuff then went to my friends house and gamed all night long. Came home about 7:30am and spent all day sleeping. I was on fumes and had no idea how I lasted. Ill never do that again without good reasons.
Once for sure 5 days and perhaps after that maybe even more a couple of times some years later.. I had times I almost did not sleep at all for two weeks, but I had hallucinations and things like open the door would take me about a minute to figure out what to do.

Nowadays I need to sleep quite regularly otherwise after 20 -30 hours of not sleeping I get psychosis and paranoia (worse than normal).
I mean 32 - 40 hours. Actually I just woke up in the middle of the night after almost not sleeping last one and that's what I mean. (not thinking clearly).

I advise everybody to sleep on regular time and with enough hours (best 6 - 7,5) otherwise if you continue it really can have a big toll after some time (same with eating - regular same hours, enough and not too much).
