Dissertation submission week I did Monday morning until Thursday evening.

I struggle to do Monday morning to Monday evening now :p:
There was an emergency at work once which required me to work through the first day, the evening and then the second day. I survived on curiosity, annoyance, frustration and the occasional swear under my breath. Also, water. Then I went home and slept for 15 hours :lol:

My god! :eek:
I just try to...I don't really do anything to help me stay awake. I once didn't get to sleep until 4am and ended up waking up about 5 times between then and 6:30, when I got up :tongue:

during my GCSEs I'd stay awake for like 21-22 hrs going to school and revising when i got home and i'd sleep for an hour or two before getting ready for the next day u_u
Like 27hrs

One time I went to Canada and jet lag + timezones had me up for 37 hours.

35 hours, had to leave at 3am for a flight so didn't bother sleeping until after dinner
About 38 hours coming back from an A Level geography trip (woke up early on Thursday, did half a day of fieldwork, spent nearly 24 hours travelling back, then stayed awake for the rest of the day after we arrived back in the morning) :smile:
I think it was a little over two days. Insomnia. That was not a fun time.

I've never since had insomnia that bad. The worst part is, nothing in particular brought it on. I don't recall being particularly stressed at the time. So it could happen again.

Nearly 70 hours stayed up from the morning for a flight at 2am and when I reached the transit point to change planes we got delayed for 12 hours :s-smilie:
Somewhere between 38-42 hours, I went to a sleepover (what a surprise, I didn't sleep) and then pulled off an all-nighter the day after.
48 hours, after going out the night previously
went to a 9am lecture still buzzing,weirdest 3 days of my life
48 Hours. Crazy but I just finished my exams and got a PS4+Fallout 4 right after! Good times, good times. Lived off maccas for a while..
I do 40+ hours pretty regularly when I miss a night's sleep. 48 is probably about as long as I've gone, only got a couple of hours even then. I got about eight hours sleep in eight days a few weeks ago- insomnia sucks!
