Staying Awake

[Master]

What is the longest you have stayed awake for and why did you do it?

Stayed up for Saturday nights boxing which started at 7pm, I woke up at 7am and stayed awake until the B Hopkins v Dawson debacle 5.30am. that is over 22 hours being awake. Shattered but oddly enough had a good nights sleep, probably will feel it later in the week.

About 34 hours all up the last 22 of them fighting the ocean,then I slept for a very long time.

When you are fighting for your life then I guess that would motivate you to stay awake. That is why you value and appreciate life so much.

I attempted 48 hours when I was younger. Had done 24 hours on more than one occasion.

Started tripping by the end, kept hearing people call my name.

Which also reminds me, I think, although I'm not sure, I've stayed awake longer than two days while chemically induced during my more wild days

Excellent topic. 22 hours is def quite a spell for sure. I'd be pretty trashed. How I hate that feeling. I actually went 32 hours back in 1984 at college trying to finish a paper. 8am Day 1 until 4pm Day 2. The last few hours of wakefulness was like some kind of religious epiphany---all the colors and sounds around me were very strange and intensified like a mushroom trip or something. I sank into a deep feverish kind of sleep the minute I laid down. Think I slept about 11 hours, waking up about 330 am next day.

WOW, longest was 6-7 days, done 4-5 days a couple of times.
Ya dont need to know what kept me awake, needless to say something did

Was it the Klitchko brothers fight compilation?

Drugs do not count for staying awake.

I bet you had to cut your fingernails after that one.

While "staying awake" I once chewed my finger nails so bad I chewed the nail and the ends of all my fingers. Actually bit the tips of my fingers off, had blood everywhere in the morning.

Not one of my smartest momments!
