~35 hours

About 40 hours once. Studying/finals in college once. Pounded like 17 energy drinks (all low/no sugar, of course) in the process. Felt like crap for 2 days afterwards. Would never do that again voluntarily.


Guys talking about working 36 - 40 hour shifts... what the hell? Why? The most I've ever done was 25 hours straight once at one job, and what amounted to 24 hours once with a half hour break in between two different jobs. The 30 minute break was spent driving and getting some food to get to the other job, so it wasn't useful to try resting a bit. Both experiences were awful and I wanted to tap out by the time I hit 20 hour marks. There is no way you guys are doing 24hr+ shifts on a regular basis without sneaking a few power naps in during the process lol. I've seen guys who work crazy hours like that pretty consistently, and they all wind up doing it.

The most I have done is around 2 days no sleep, I have done it a few times in the past year. I have a friend that has barely slept all year on weekends. As soon as Friday comes he goes through to Sunday, its just normal for him now. Drinking and you know what.

5 days

Amphetamines


By then the hallucinations visually and audio were beyond fooked

5ish days playing black ops zombies in the night on release.

On a usual day it's like 1.5ish days (I just can't sleep normal).

Never more than 30 hours or so because I do not abuse drugs. Once after a serious domestic violence experience (awful, escape to authorities immediately if you ever encounter DV.) I suffered some weird symptoms where I would wake up with a stir after an hour or two of sleep for a week or two. I wanted to avoid sleep meds to avoid dependency. Bad idea. If you ever encounter overwhelming symptoms like this, just take the benzo or whatever. Better than the emotional trauma of oversaturating your brain like this.

3 and a half days.

Was really rough getting past the first 24 hours. Then after that you are just floating.

**** me at being awake for a full week. I think you win

Took dedication and hard work, much sanity was sacrificed. Srs though it was horrible couldn't do it now.

Mirin people ITT who have done 24 hours + for work though. Can't imagine being asked to do that

Maybe 36 hours without sleep. I was really sick to my stomach and in to much pain to fall asleep.

4 days. Had a 30 minute nap on day 3. It was a training mission so we were rucking from objective to objective and attacking/setting up defences etc. through the day. Lol @ armycels. Never again.

Then you got disconnected from the server.
