longest would be a week.


but I dont sleep very well.

you've stayed up without sleep?

I have went 52 hours without sleep. I looked like death

If death looked like you, then I wouldn't mind dying so much...

About 75 hours. I almost forgot how to sleep at that point I think I slept for 20 hours or so. It all felt surreal. I was told I looked like I belonged in "Dawn of the Dead"

in 1987 i stayed up for 108 hrs, worked straight through to get the river run banners done, and i stayed up 80 hrs in 1994, to paint the huge soccerball on city hall of orlando, for world cup.

For The Record


Randy Gardner holds a Guinness world record for the longest period of time a human being has intentionally gone without sleep not using stimulants of any kind. In 1964, as a 17-year-old high school student in San Diego, California, Gardner stayed awake for 264 hours (11 days) with the help of friends, TV reporters, and shooting hoops. On his final day without sleep, Gardner presided over a press conference where he spoke without slurring or stumbling his words and in general appeared to be in excellent health. “I wanted to prove that bad things didn’t happen if you went without sleep,” said Gardner. “I thought, ‘I can break that (Peter Tripp’s 1959) record and I don’t think it would be a negative experience.’” Sleep experts now believe that such sleep deprivation stunts are dangerous
