What's the longest you've stayed awake
- Thread starter gymrat

Probably my last semester of college, when I was cramming for finals, finishing up term papers and a final project while working 3rd shift full-time. I stayed awake for three days (72 hours) straight. It was my own fault for procrastinating like I always have. Your body never quite adjusts to working 3rd shift and trying to sleep during the day anyways.

almost 5 days
I was in college and I was finishing up a project for a presentation and I started at the last minute. I was so pumped up on caffiene and sugar I managed to get everything ready to go to the blueprinter on the 4th day.
When I got all my copies back and I didn't notice that the prints had been made backwards and all the text and plans were a mirror image. I noticed after the blueprinter had closed for the day and the presentation was the next morning.
I couldn't use the prints so I ended up using the raw the mylars and mounted them to foam core that I had managed to get from Pearl paint downtown before they closed.
I only had time for a shower that morning - no nap. I was delusional, my head was spinning and I didn't think I could do my presentation. Long story short, I fell asleep in the classroom while everyone presented. My roomate woke me up in time and I pulled off the presentation.
My nervous breakdown followed shortly.
Can I just tell you that it physically hurts to be awake that long.
Now, now I practically cry if I can't 6 hours of sleep every night.
