3 days during last summer. It was before I got my summer job and after school ended.

It wasn't for any particular reason I just didn't wanna go to sleep and just stayed on my phone 🤷‍♀️

3 days and 2 nights in the military.

In the 3rd day I was semi-awake and seeing shit. i.e. familiar home town sceneries behind distant trees, although I was nowhere near.

Gotta love those FTX. I got to the point where I crawled under a humvee for a nap.

Roughly 37 hours. I went from a party to shopping with friends to a wedding. It was wild and it shows the power of alcohol and drugs ❤️

Probably wouldn’t survive it today, tho.

About 72h going from a scouts camp into a festival. first 2 days included a lot of coffee, last day might have had a little coke sprinkled in.

I had insomnia for many years. I slept 30-60 mins a night then crash for five or six hours once a week. It was horrible. I’d rather take these mind altering drugs than go back to that

Around 2.5-3 days. On a LAN party in 2003 or so. 2 nights without sleep. Lots of caffeine. It was fun at first but really started feeling terrible after the 2nd night.

With 30 mins naps included, probably 72 hrs during filming a short film.

But if youre asking for a straight awake, it is around 26-27 hours. It was also during that time. The first day of filming until I got my first nap.

3 days. Mostly just eating fruit and water. Caffeine and processed sugar leads to crashes that I'd learned from previously. I could have done 4 days, but I began to notice that I was not paying very good attention to passing traffic when crossing the road, so I stopped.

3 nights. On the 4th I got 3 hours of sleep.

Around three days. No drugs, just showers and energy drinks I took sip by sip for a long time. I was somehow productive, but caught my attention stuck a couple of times on something banal like a working microwave buzz. Everything felt dull and I seemingly had no emotions near the end.

3 ish days, it was awful. Everything starts to feel fake and I got really paranoid

72 hours or nearly so, and basically worked the whole time too. It was the first time my roommate gave me Adderall to try. I did around 2 weeks worth of work in my auto body shop, then slept like 14 hours straight. To top that off I was around 350 pounds too. A week later I was on the stuff legit. Three years later I was racing bicycles and under 190 pounds. Three years after that, I was disabled from a crash with 2 SUVs.

Holy cow. I hope you are well now. Congrats on the weight loss all the same.

[-] davidgro@lemmy.world 9 points 12 hours ago

I think around 48 hours.

High school LAN parties.

Yeaaah ! Counter-Strike 1.5/1.6 era with Day of Defeat and some Ricchochet for chilling off your nerves !

In 1989 I was one of the participants in the (then) Guinness World Record Endurance Computing held at the Hobby Computer Club days (HCC dagen) in the Netherlands.

The record was for 63.5 hours, but I had a two hour or so commute in each direction and the event started (from memory) at noon.

I'm guessing that I was awake in total for about 70 hours. I fell asleep on the way home.

We published a newsletter called "Elephant News" every few hours. Time keeping was managed by official time keepers and it was entered into the Guinness World Records in the 1990 book. I have a copy somewhere.

At some point not long after, Guinness abolished all world records that only had a time component and as far as I know it still stands :)

Wow neat, wonder if any photos survive

72 hours to finish a design project for a client. Hard deadline to make it to the printers in time for a trade show. By the end, I couldn't see straight. Slept for 18 hours after handing it in.

Saw the end product at the trade show. Horrified to pick out so many small errors. Customer was happy, though. Got two more projects.

Never did it again, but it was good to know I could.

[-] sndmn@lemmy.ca 6 points 13 hours ago

About a week ; there were some very hard drugs involved, and I credit that experience with getting cleaned up. Started seeing "shadow people" in my very peripheral vision.

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 5 points 13 hours ago

Technically, five days, though it was barely over the line.

I was hallucinating by the end of it. It was intentional, one summer during high school, just to see what it would be like.

It be like something I'll never do again. Took me weeks to feel right again

[-] not3ottersinacoat@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 hours ago

My answer is almost exactly the same as yours. It was me and my friend doing it together.

[-] lordnikon@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

I was 4 days amd no jokes waa seeing plad. My boss took me on a casino trip where I thought it was an hour away but ensed up going a state away so 10 hours both ways. And stayed their a day thwn I had to work a full shift whenever we got back. I was only to do email tickets as I sounded drunk on the phone. But could tickets in my sleep almost literally.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

72 hours finishing an application so we could train on it immediately after. What a shitshow.

[-] bruhsoulz@lemmy.ml 3 points 12 hours ago
