So I haven't slept since 7 yesterday morning, I have a heap of exams coming up and final examintaions due today. I'm not going to be able to sleep until at least 7 tonight, so that will be around 36 hours without sleep. What's the longest you have gone without sleep?

I can't remember exactly, about 37 hours in December last year. It was horrible.
 
When we toured Australia in 06/07 I often went 2/3 days without sleep. All for nothing as well.

But generally I don't get that many hours of sleep these days. I don't see any harm in it tbh; if you don't feel tired you don't need to go to bed.
 
I think its to do with age, you're what Matt, 18? Who needs sleep at 18, I mean, I get like 2-3 hours usually, but then again, i'm year older than you Matt ;) it all changes, haha.
 
I don't even know what's wrong with me. Whenever I come in from a late night I still don't go to sleep. I just whack a DVD on or play some inhebriated Cod.

I used be able to go out and then not go to bed till the next night, but now, I seemed to have lost that ability.
 
Personally, I last about 24-28 hours max before I crash. I've got no say in the matter, my body just shuts down around that mark.

Its always a strange feeling when you get to that point, the twitching to stay awake, the unsurity over whether the pink hippo in your garden it real...generally everything :p

Haha yeah, it's brilliant. You really realize why sleep deprivation is a form of torture.

I love how it all creeps up on you at once. The last time I stayed up over a day, I was completely fine when I dropped my car keys (yes, I was about to drive). I bent down to pick them up, and in about 10 seconds I was sleeping like a baby.
 
I decided to go back home for the weekend and found out the Doggie's game wasn't on till 10:30, long story short I'm still up and now haven't slept for about 41 hours. I actually don't feel to bad.
 
50 hours Sunday-Tuesday. I was having vivid psychedelic experiences at that point.
 
On New years I try to stay up for atleast 24 hours, and go on a bit more. I guess that is/was my longest. I also didn't sleep till I finished the last Harry Potter book, so considering I was up by 9 that morning and didn't finish till like 12 the next day, about 26-27 hours there.
 
Update:

I just hit the 48 hour mark, and I actually don't feel that bad.
 
Don't think I've pulled a pure all-nighter. I've stayed up for 24+ hours but take a nice long nap and muck up my body clock in doing so.
