One time I got 0 hours of sleep and stayed up all through school. I don't know if I went to sleep afterwards, but I probably did. It is wacky staying up for 24 hours. I couldn't think straight at all and was so tired I wasn't tired. I couldn't really do anything that day
one day i did an all-nighter and went to school, my friend picked me up from school to hang out and i took an hour nap at his house at like, 3pm? so about 32-33 hours? i will never do that again, i love sleep too much.
I've had insomnia since high school. So almost 15 years now. Going 24+ hours with no sleep is pretty common for me.
But the longest I've gone without sleep was around 90 hours. Do not recommend.
Smash came out for the Wii U on November 21st, 2014 on a Friday. I woke up Thursday sometime in the afternoon before my cousin came over. We downloaded it at midnight. Then I didn't go to sleep until Monday morning a few days later. Spent the whole weekend trying to unlock as many characters as fast as possible.
the last time I did an all nighter was probably me reading Ascendance of the Bookworm Part 2 Volume 4 light novel in one seating
(the kind of person that sometimes do all nighters reading mangá or books)
I remember when I was younger, I stayed up all night until 7 in the morning. I have a vivid memory of staring at the TV and watching Jimmy Neutron all night. I think there was either some marathon of episodes or I had them recorded. My mom walked into my room and was pretty shocked and upset that I was awake. I think it was a school night for me.
All night! I've always had trouble sleeping, but there were two specific instances were I didn't sleep at all. The first was when I was an anxious freshman in college, and I couldn't sleep so I sat up reading a biography of Princess Diana (random I know). But the next day I functioned pretty well, until I crashed HARD at 5 pm.
The next time was last year. I had to do something big the next day and couldn't stop worrying about it. It was oddly refreshing to hear birds chirping so early in the morning. I felt dizzy and like I had to throw up when I got out of bed, but thankfully didn't. I took a nap later in the day-- but, my goodness, did that feel awful.
These weren't really "staying up" time per se, but sometimes I hear someone scream as soon as I wake up. Once I felt a woman pressing and shaking on my shoulders, yelling "No, no, no!" before running down the hall. My first instance was when I was about 13 and heard buzzing in my ear, then saw the figure of an old man standing over my bed. He said he was going to tell me a strange story of a man who saw wonderful things in people's eyes. Then he vanished and I couldn't look at my curtains for a while after that. I believe it was a relative, but not sure.
Sometimes I still get the buzzing in my ear, and my bed shakes. When I was younger, I would get the buzzing and then hear two voices, like people talking-- then feel this hard jolt. I don't know how else to explain it. Like a hard shove into reality.
One time I took some medicine that had caffeine as an ingredient and ended up staying up for at least 22 hours after that. It was the first time I've had caffeine since I don't drink coffee.
uh... i think the latest i’ve ever stayed up is noon after pulling an all-nighter, and staying up all day the day before as well. maybe close to around 24+ hours or so? i’m not sure why i stayed up for that long; maybe because i was doing stuff and didn’t want to go to sleep? maybe insomnia?? maybe excitement or nerves or anxiety or something? i don’t know, but i definitely don’t see myself ever doing that again... i just love sleep too much lol.
I don't really feel like doing the math, but i remember one day about a month and a half ago I woke up at 6:00am and went to bed at 2:00 the next day. It wasn't fun.
I might've made it around 24 hours or somewhere close to that when I was a kid, but I crashed pretty much immediately afterwards. I don't know how anybody manages more than that*; I can't function without at least a few hours of sleep. *barring cases of insomnia/other sleep conditions/etc.
