How long can you stay awake without sleeping?

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

I slept 3 hrs total the week my daughter was born. Not fun. Otherwise, I once went to work for 36 hrs straight. Pretty tired going home.

I voted for 35-39 hours, but I think I could do 40+. I once went about 55 hours on only 2 hours of sleep. The following sleep was refreshing, but I had a terrible headache from it. :- I've pulled my share of intentional all-nighters, and I only want to do them again if there's a good reason. The next day always suffers.

Leonard Meltsner, good luck on 72 hours. \:D/

You know, one kid in Korea died of an exhaustion-induced heart attack after 72 straight hours of video gaming. :- (Canadians can go to the Discovery Channel website and watch the episode of Curious and Unusual Deaths to learn more; it's the first one listed, I believe.)

Wow, that's depressing...it is true that lack of sleep can cause some serious health issues though... {fearfully glances at clock and seriously considers going to bed}

yup...included in the "health issues" category...it suppresses your body's appetite control mechanism...so if the guys on here have intelligence, they'll start sleeping more too! (I promise, despite my sleeping habits, I AM intelligent...lol)

Three days, it wasn't by choice. I just couldn't sleep. Your mind does weird things when you stay up that long, not that I can remember anything specific.
