How many days can you go without sleep?

[Lucky Bolt 34,914]

Probably a day or two, if even that. I need sleep to fuction.

Two days. That's my absolute limit and something on that second day needs to keep me excited cause if not, I'm out.

And I'll be staying up for 2 days here in a couple weeks again....

My record was 2 days__________

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

I've never gone more than one night without sleep, and it was awful. I hate sleeping because it's a waste of time, but I hate feeling tired even more.

About two days at the least.

0. I have to sleep every day. I can force myself to stay up later, but eventually I will decide it isn't worth it and go to sleep.

I don't think it's healthy to go more than a few days. 

[Nsxile 25,607]

1 day is about my limit.

[EpicEnergy 22,064]

I don't know what my limit is, but the longest I've gone without sleep was about 36 hours, so 1 day and a half.

I can get to the cusp of 48 hours, but that is the absolute limit. And I am practically incapable of interaction towards the end. Any communication attempted will result in either crabbiness or gibberish.

After 8-12 hours without sleep I get dizzy, can't concentrate or come up with elaborate ideas, natural fatigue, can do more but wish I don't have to

Between 12 and 16h it's fine, I tend to get a bit paranoid and conspiratory, usually don't make a lot of sense to others when im talking

16-18h is again more diziness, I get irritated a bit also, always "en guarde" and alert

20-30h is again a bit of relief, I tend to look forward to being on the ground or any flat surface really to lie a bit, I fool myself that I won't sleep, usually will read a book or listen to a podcast and will sleep on it.

35+ zzzzzz...

 

Best I did is almost 3 days so 60+ hours but I was starting to get really excited and weird and constantly had to talk to people not to fall asleep.

Two days, at the most. I sleep way too much to go without it for more than a day or two.

[Stardust 640]

None why would you want to do that

[Rainbow Cloud 16,114]

Longest I've gone without sleep is a day and a half, only did that once in order to complete a piece of work before a deadline but will never do it again. Succeeded in getting my work finished but felt like I fell of the edge a cliff with tiredness after that, could barely function at all and took days to get back my sleep back to normal and to feeling ok again.

First time I went overseas it  took around 33 hours in all to get there and I didn’t sleep a wink the entire time, and plus another 5 hours after we landed before our hotel room was ready.  So that long I know for sure. 
 

There was a time i had a string of calls late at night for work for three days, and only got an hour sleep each night for those three days.  That sucked. 

[Splashee 28,537]

20 to 22 hours. I did an all nighter last week and stayed up 20 hours, and I was a sleeping zombie after that

[Fluttershutter 2,114]

I've stayed up for two days and one night, around 40 hours before. Couldn't do more and don't want to.

So many people are always bragging about how little they sleep. I think it's so annoying and I don't believe them anyway.
