What is the longest you have been without sleep?

about 42hours, but it was on pure emotion (following tragic event in family, had not been to bed at 11 when it happened) when i did it. under typical circumstances i've done 22hrs on 3hrs sleep.

Probably around 36 hours for me. I think the hardest part of the day to stay awake for is early in the morning after staying up all night... right when the sun starts to rise is when the rapid blinking starts.

Once went nearly 40 hrs. because of an abnormal work schedule (swing shift).

It is not fair for me to answer this because I have insomnia and it is chronic. Sometimes I cannot sleep for days. I look like a zombie and I am always in some day dreaming mod. During the nights I am not sure whether I sleep or not it is all blur from fatigue that I feel. I want to sleep but I cannot so I am just tired and unable to function normally but I lie there wide awake. I believe I had 4 days without sleeping.

12 hours here. I needed to stay up all night once for a medical procedure I had to have done the next day. It was kind of fun, but it was also the longest night of my life so far. This was quite a few years ago.

The longest I went without sleep was 42 hours. I was with my cousins who I haven't seen for a long time and they were only here for the weekend so we decided to stay up as long as we could. It was really fun but not worth it in the end I think I slept for about a week straight after that.

I should add it was quite hard staying up all night like that lol. Mostly I kept busy either with my portable CD player, my PlayStation, Game Boy or any combination of those it was fun but it was hard.
