John Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Whilst it is early in the morning!!! The most was aboiut 38 hours. After coming from the night club I spent the next 24 hours playing a board game called talisman for children in need and managed to raise £120 for them. What is the longest you have stayed awake for? and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owdlad Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 3 days and nights with no sleep I was sitting up with someone very dear to me who was terminally ill, and time meant nothing to me, and compared to what they had given me previously 3 days was nothing.

JoeP Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 In my first year at university I seem to remember about 48 hours at the end of my first term. There is a story behind it, but this ain't the place!! I also had a 60 hour stint with the odd cat nap when my mum was terminally ill. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timo Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Forty eight hours due to heat, hay fever and general discomfort. I became a possible threat to world peace towards the end. Thank God I eventually got some sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy1702 Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I did a 60-hour sponsored stay-awake once. However I was awake for about 2-3 hours before I started and about another hour after I finished, so the total was probably about 64 hours. I would think it's pretty impossible to do much more than this, as there comes a point where your body just shuts down automatically. I did it all without any sleep at all. Unlike the contestants on C4's 'Shattered' who were actually allowed two hours sleep every night. Even with just two hours sleep, it's possible to last a lot longer. I had a job a while back where I got betwwen 3 & 4 hours sleep a night and survived for months like that. As a good friend of mine once said, 'There's plenty of time for sleeping when you're dead!'
