96 hours although I did nap an hour every once and a while but no sleep. It was for my girlfriends18th birthday I had a whole thing planned and we were supposed to take a plane to get there but there was a big storm so they weren't taking off, so drove 36 hours straight basically and then 36 hours home after

I think around 43 hours and it's crazy because I didn't even feel as tired as I would have been if I had gotten crap sleep

a very stupid thing i wanted to experiment when i was i think 20. It was 4 or 6 days, it made me feel awful after the first day, kept fighting it.. on that last day before sleeping, I felt so extremely bad, fell asleep for 18 hours straight!!

Probably when I stay up until almost six am, going to bed at 5:51 am.

NightOwl8801 · Answer

About 26 hours once and only once, my payday Fridays when I was a regular third shift guy for nearly six years was spent going home and changing then running all my errands before coming home and crashing , that was a 16 hour day after working all night...
Insomnia 🤷‍♂️

Andres77 · Answer

My last trip to Afghanistan I was in the operations center. We had so many detachments out conducting patrols or raids.
I'd stay up for 2 days and sleep for 6 hours, then up for two days and sleep for 6 hours.
Then have 2 or 3 days of normal cycle sleep and then do it again. That went on for a few months.
My sleep disorder and gastric issues and the ticking in my ears all started during that trip.

Two months. I'm used to it. The only weird thing is, most people judge their "days" in-between sleep sessions. When you don't sleep, it's like the day "never ends."

yuviii2012 · Answer

1 week not slept even a minute and not taken any food or water for 36 hours... that was my toughest training... and to drink we got only our urine after 36 hours... but I love that experience and still we sleep only 4 hours a day.
