48 hours, in my clubbing days! I started hallucinating badly and saw people in posters moving, and thought my boyfriends skirting boards had spaceship control buttons on them..but that might not have been entirely down to lack of sleep .!!

About 72 hours. I was In Israel on the last few days of a holiday. I didn't want to miss a moment. I kept awake on coffee and caffeinated drinks. On the way home I had the weirdest hallucinations. I still don't know how I managed to pull through it.

When I was a student I would stay awake upto three days without sleep very regularly, as time went on I got upto 4 days. Eventually I would wake up monday morning and not sleep again until saturday night, but then I would sleep most of sunday and be awake a few hours before sleeping again till monday and a new week of wakefulness.
After a few days without sleep you become irrational and paranoid with phantom visions and smells occuring increasingly. I would not reccomend this lifestyle (it almost killed me several times, although I was also drinking at least 40 units) to anyone - the body needs sleep to stay healthy and the mind needs it to stay sane!


About 51 hours. I was in Sydney, Australia on the last day of my holiday where it started..

When I took off from Sydney, I had already been up for 14 hours.
The flight was a long overnight one lasting 27 hours - I didn't sleep at all on it. We had two refuel stops.
On arrival back to the UK, I stayed up another 10 hours before I collapsed.

During the 10 hours back in the UK, I felt very irritable, dirty and paranoid. You get a wierd fear of dirt when you are sleep deprived. Had I stayed up for longer, I'd probably would have started hallucinating.

I slept for 12 hours, but felt jet-lagged for about a week afterwards.

The second time I went to Australia, I slept okay on the aeroplane coming back, and didn't have this problem.


2 1/2 days. I do this on a regular basis being that I am in the military. I have found that since I have been in Iraq I have been doing this even more so. Paranoia, duties, missions, and other factors have all contributed to not being able to get sleep. When I do find time to sleep I take advantage of it. 3 days & 3 nights. As a teenager, I was in a rockathon to raise money. BTW; I won!


3 days! Never again.I hope!!1


1 and a half days
i had to be somewhere very early
and i was so excited i could not sleep
