So I was having coffee with a friend and we were talking about polyphasic sleep. I’ve decided that if I didn’t want to have a real life I’d give it a try.
So my question: What was your longest day and how long (approximately) were you awake? Tell your war story!

about 4-5 days without sleep between parties, work, skool, halo 2 compitions, and gaming marathons but when i started to hallucinate i thought it would be fun to take sleep pill with my friends to see who could stay up longer but add the effect to the 4 days or so with out sleep i woke in the hospitale with stiches in my head from falling down a flight of stairs
I could say 6 days, but 144 hrs sounds longer….
Day 1: got lost in the middle of the ocean
Day 2: Rescued, but had to attend a wedding within 2 hours after
B/w Day 2 and 3, while staring at the bacardi at the club at 3 AM i realized i had research paper due
Day 4 hahahahahah
Day 5: Had sex
Day 6: Made breakfast, lunch, and dinner and had sex !!

LIGHTWEIGHTS !!!|CALLING ALL LIGHTWEIGHTS
while your still awake, it makes me laugh how many people think its not possible to stay awake for more than 2 dayso
anything is possible ive seen people who are HARDCORE stay awake entire weeks, me and my friends used 2 hav competitions to see who could stay asake the longest without passing out or talking to inanimate objects while laughing insanely
I have personally seen someone stay awake for 177 hours that just over a week, he slept for 2 hours then went another 4 days,
IF YOUR HARDCORE GO 1 DAY MORE
IF YOUR LIGHTWEIGHT FALL 2 THE FLOOR
I believe that any person can stay awake as long as their power of will permits, ill personally go into work after 3 days of being awake because i hav mental stamina and i know i can do it.
ive been awake for 200 hrs as of this minute
The longest that I have stayed awake is currently 459 hours. This translates into 19 days and a couple extra hours. It was an experiment I did during my 9th grade year to see how long I could stay awake. I experienced slight deprivation on the 9th day, with dementia following on the 12th day, and on the 15th day, I was unable to speak in English. It was just gibberish.
Thats not the worst, the sleep deprivation was so bad on the 18th day that I went into Cardiac arrest. wanna know the best part? I’d do it again in a heart beat.
i’ve stayed up for 192.5 hours wif my friends, it was rele fun, but then at like 100th hour i thought i was god and i could do anything i want, then a little later i thought there were 5 girls in the room even though it was 3 guys so yeah it gets ur mind rele screwed up
I once stayed up a whole day…lol…i still cant go longer than that…w/e im still cool!!!
When I was 12 my mum died and after that I went from Tuesday 2am to Thurday 9pm without sleep, i was trying to get back to normal hours. I just couldn’t sleep and by Thursday afternoon I felt so dizzy and my mind was so fcked up lol.
Its 8.30 am now, and I fell asleep yesterday at 2pm and woke up at 2 am early this morning. My sleep cycle is fcked up for the 100000th time so I might sleep now and wake up at 11.30 or something…

I feel like a ZoMbIe!
so thats my “war” story
thanks for shareing everyone!
Well…about 40 hours and this only two times in my life really. Reasons were cramming for exam/report writing. The first time was artificial since i believe I was “high” on caffeine tablets. I believe i took three and did not once in about 40 hours feel sleepy. The second time was in university a few years ago. It started at 10am and the next day a 80page report was due at 12am. I worked throughout the night with the rest of my team. We delivered a good report. And i was not really tired. No drugs this time. Went to bed at 6 pm the next day i remember – perhaps only 32 hours in total.
4 days…but I guess it is more impressive concidering that i am 13 years old. Ok i stayed up all night before the flight out to mexico. Then i stayed up on the plane..then we get there lost our luggage..I was holusonating in the strees with my friend and then we finnaly rented a car and drove back to the airport in Cancun’ and flew home..when i hit the sheets i was dead for 2 days. Couldn’t move :(!!
Alright, so, right now I am on 30 hours and 13 minutes. To be honest I don’t know why I stay awake.. I know I need to sleep and do stuff the next day, but i do like to see ho wlong i can stay awake. Energy suppliments used in this past time period = 4 excedrine, 1 large full throttle, 1 chi tea, 1 1/2 gallons of Arizona Green Tea, and myself. My previous record from 2 years ago was approximatly 126 hours 45 minutes. In that I used = 1/2 bottle of no-doze, 6 or so phentetermine (diet pill), aprox 12 energy drinks, and self. My expiriences though the days 5 days I was awake were not clear but not hazey, kind of like, as used above, zombie like. What I did during those days was played on my computer, went to one club (at the begining), watched tv, drew, and talked to my friend Matt. I would like to see how far i can get without any energy suppliments and agian, how long with. I do not recomend anyone do this in concecutive months, take a few months inbetween and let yourself re-register. Personaly I don’t use no-doze anymore because one day I took 2 and drank a vault and ended up shaking really bad and being being paranoid. Anyways, that’s my story and I give kudos and good luck to anyone trying to be a ghost that doesn’t sleep, lol.
P.S. I do not take illigal drugs when I stay up, just so things are clear for the future.
