What is the longest amount of time you have gone without sleep?
The night before I received my HSC Results, I decided that it wasn't worth going to sleep for a few hours (because I planned on being awake for when my results were sent to me at 6am), so I stayed up all night. It was an interesting experience. I was awake for a total of 22 hours straight. I had gotten out of bed at 9am on Wednesday morning (the day before I got my results) and went to bed at 7:30 am the next morning.
However, I only slept for two hours. I went to bed at 7:30 am, but then I woke up at 9:30am. Ultimately, I had just two hours of sleep within 39 hours!

No idea. It's probably 18-24. Often these days I go many days where it's 18. Often sleep 3am until about 9am and then back to bed at 3am the next day.

I can't remember the exact hours, but it must have been close to 36 hours or more.
It was because of jet lag. I didn't sleep at night, and I tried to stay awake during the day because we were going places. I did nap for 20-40 minutes on the car rides though.
There were a few times during uni where I went for almost 30 hours without sleep pulling all-nighters for exams. Also once during an all-night hackathon (the competition went on all night).
Haven't pulled an all-nighter in years. I don't miss them!

I personally haven't experienced jet lag before, but I've heard that it can take a while to get over the effects of it. Do you think staying up all night helped you with how you went in the exams? I considered doing that for my end-of-year exams in Year 12, but I decided that it would probably do more harm than good.

I think a lot of people are guilty of not studying until the last minute. I did that with a few of my exams as well!

I've been up for 33 hours straight. I woke up at 8.30am Wednesday morning and haven't had any sleep since. The reason why I decided to stay up all-night is because I wanted to go to the 5am ANZAC Day dawn service at Kiama. It was the first dawn service I had ever attended and I *originally* had no plans for today, so I thought I was going to be okay. Well, at 9.30am this morning, I got a text message from my friend asking if I wanted to catch up with him today instead of tomorrow (which were the original plans). It wasn't exactly the news I wanted to hear. I decided to catch up with him though, as it has been months since I last saw him and
During the first 22 hours, I actually didn't feel that tired at all. Sure, I gradually started to feel more drowsy as the night went on, however I was still able to function normally. I was even able to drive to/from Kiama during the early hours of the morning without any trouble and I went for a bit of a walk around the harbour for an hour between 5.30am-6.30am. It was around the 23-hour mark though that the fatigue really started to hit me and I've experienced further effects since then. The trouble is, I don't want to go to bed now (at 5.46pm in the evening), as it wreck my internal clock.

I think about 30 hours in January 2015. Our flight to Sydney was delayed by 2 hours (from 4 to 6am) , meaning that we missed our connecting flight to Melbourne by 20 minutes. So we had to get new flights to Melbourne but the only one still available was at something like 10 or 11pm right before the airport closed but instead of going to the main airport it went to Avalon on the opposite side of the bay to where our family live and they didn't know so it was another 3 hours or so until we arrived at their house. I was really angry and almost fainted while boarding the flight in Sydney (I had also nearly fainted in the elevator at St Vincents Hospital in Paddington earlier that day).

Jeez, I couldn't think of anything worse! It was bad enough that you and your family were delayed by several hours, let alone the fact that you were up for about 30 hours straight!

Ummm...2 days?  I had really bad insomnia then, it's better nowadays but I still stay awake lots. I have a kinda irregular schedule now so I stay up when I have work, which can be at odd hours in the night. If I'm working through the night I'll usually sleep in the day, but sometimes it happens that I have family or other stuff on and I'll have to stay up the whole day.

I know you've mentioned that you had bad insomnia then, but I still don't know how you managed to do it! I struggled to stay awake for 37 hours straight, lol.

The second longest time I stayed up would be in China, where I suppose it would've been close to 2 days...maybe a day and two thirds? It was dumb on my part, I was playing a psychological horror game at work (yeah, there was nothing to do that day ) that really freaked me out, and I didn't sleep that night I went to work early the next day and crashed on the sofa for maybe an hour towards the end of the day. Then I had to get home and finish up some of my other online work. Yeah, that was fun
