24 hours. I've never gone more.
79 hours...
I was working at a coal mine. I stayed awake that long and my bosses new it. They kept working me not even caring about the fact that I was turning into a zombie, lol. Finally got to go home, fell asleep driving on the interstate, crossed over into the wrong lane and almost hit a semi-truck head on. After that moment, I gave up my mining career and got back into security. I don't make as much money as I did but I get 8 hours of sleep every night 😉
I'd say probably about after the 2nd day, I started micronapping which is basically like sleeping for a couple of seconds. I even start seeing stuff, shadows and that, losing my mind... I wouldn't recommend trying it, it was not only emotionally painful, it was physically painful!

That's quite normal for how long you stayed awake. Generally, the 72 hour mark is where the brain begins to suffer from the lack of cognitive repair granted by sleeping. Hallucinations are a very common symptom at that point.
Indeed. I'd never wish that sort of trauma on anyone, lol. Nowadays, if I don't get my 8 hours, I am a grumpy fella haha. I did that lack of sleep all the time at that coal mine for 3 years straight. I am in all honesty, surprised to still be living. It is fair to say that was the worst job I have ever had 😉

for me it was around 39 or 40 hours just because I was on holidays and was pretty crazy busy with what was going on hanging out with people and such. Ya..never again I will do that. I like my sleep, hahah.
48 hours was the longest and I used to do it long time back when I was still studying and working at the same time. I used to go to school at 1pm until 9pm and worked from 10pm-6am or 6am-2pm. Sometimes I need to worked double shift so I didn't get the chance to sleep. But now - maximum 24 hours only. 😀 I couldn't do more than that :sleep:
