I think you just mean, your record. Not your WORLD record :D

Have fun with that!!

[marisa]

Yeah, the world record is FAR higher than 40 hours. My boyfriend and I hit 30 hours like piece of cake once a month because of his crazy schedual.

30 hours is nothing, and 40 is quite a bit more, but neither are a world record.

lol my budy when 60hours but he got delutional and started seeing things then he was out cold for 2 days sleeping lol

[Xetox]

I have been up 4 days without sleep several times........

[Scotty Allen]

Why ?

[marisa]

Yeah the things that start happening after 40 hours are quite interesting. At 25 hours a second energy burst hits, but I am not sure if there is another after that. I know that approaching 30 hours I start feeling sick to my stomach.

my uncel had no sleep for 11 days in the marines

[Linds]

I probably can take the record... but that was back... um... in my bada$$ party days :o

[Tim and Julie B]

I don't know about straight but I have some weeks were I only manage about three to four hours a night. This current one has lasted over a week now. I don't feel so good. Getting it all over with at once almost sounds better! You would think excercise would help but I did 24 km on my bike the other day and still couldn't get a full nights sleep! Good luck with your record, but if you can sleep, I suggest doing it.

the longest i have been up was five days in iraq, but you have to remember that it was not just a regular daily schedual, i was fighting and up for five days so it took a bigger toll on my body.
i dont recommend staying up longer than a day though because your reaction time and mental awareness take a s*** and you
make bad decisions.

[snake_goth]

well i did it i went 33 hours sorry about the long w8 but i was on hol wen i has doing it, all so i got sun burn it wairing of now but ive LOst my white skin that took me a year to do.

[XxRachxX]

[SnowFoxx]

My brother and I had a competition once, we lasted about 45 hours... then he started saying things that made me cry at a CARPET commercial.... "Aww... but think of all the memories they had with that carpet! They're throwing them all away :(" .... that's when I decided it was bed time.

i dont think there is a world record, people with serious problems dont sleep for over 2 weeks!!! then die. I forget the illness.

[Colonel SB]

Good luck I guess.

[katev17]

Haha I went to the Guiness World Records site to see if I could find the actual record, but it doesn't seem as though it exists....
Someone should totally claim it!!

Anyway, while I was searching I found this, it's kinda cool:

Snake Bath Tub Sitting
Jackie Bibby and Rosie Reynolds-McCasland of Texas, USA, hold the record for sitting in a bathtub with the most live rattlesnakes. Jackie and Rosie sat in two separate tubs, each with 75 Western Diamondback rattlesnakes, on September 24, 1999, in LA, California, USA. Jackie has been handling snakes since 1968. He has been married three times though is not currently married but does live with his girlfriend of several years, Vickie Morgan. His last marriage was on a TV show called Real People in a pit of 300 rattlesnakes. Rosie has been handling snakes since 1999 with a life-long friend, Steve Raines. Rosie toured a show in which she climbed into a sleeping bag that Steve filled with snakes. Then she would slowly crawl out.

The first time I stayed up all night as a kid (it was at a sleepover birthday party -- i miss those) the next day I thought Canada was in the middle of a giant war and I kept on thinking cakes were rolling around the house and attacking people. A few years ago I also tried having 36 hour days instead of 24 hour days, which didn't work out.

I once saw a program on the Discovery Channel about sleep deprovation, and I believe they detailed the story of a man, a music teacher, who could not sleep. They showed the deterioration of intelligence, motor skills and speech. Eventually the man succumbed to his illness (which I have yet to define).

Scientists still aren't sure why we NEED sleep, but lack of it has proven to be a bad thing, over and over again. I wouldn't know why anyone would want to do that to themselves.

I stayed up for a full week before, my many friends and I were at a sleep over kinda party thing and we were playing truth or dare and then they dared me to not go to sleep till the next saturday and it was saturday. So I did but the next Sar right when that hand hit !2:00 I conked out didt wake til miday-monday. Good nap though I remember eating alot to stay awake.

[fateamber]

The longest i have stayed awake is around 18 hours - i like sleeping.

[Lisa]

Mmmm sleep. I used to stay up crazy hours. now i enjoy my sleep too much to do that anymore.

[Shane Tesser]

I remember a local radio dj in my area tried to beat the world record for being on the air straight without sleep, and that was 96 hours...so just being awake is even more of a record...i remember reading something one time about being awake for 7-10 days can kill you...but i dont know the cause?

[CyberGhost]

I hate sleeping it seems like wasted time. We watse half our lifes on sleep. WHats the point.

[XxRachxX]

im getting stupid all the time!!! i havent been able to sleep properly for about 1.5yrs , first only getting about 4/5 hours a night.....now im pretty much down to 1-3ish.... i used to be really smart, i feel less sleep has affected my memory.......now i pretty much feel like a bumbling idiot!!
so kids.........SLEEP NOW you fools!!

[Mike177]

i have never been up longer then 30 or 40 at that point i froget why i was doing it in the first place and start thinking about how good that bed looks right about now

[unknownclown]

I think the longest I can remember being awake is 8 days there coulda been times longer than that cause I had a bit of help. Ive also slept and lost a whole day recovering from my stupidity.

By the way that was about 5-6 years ago I dont do that crap no more ;)

[krrc]

Wow we have some hard-core people on this site! :) :) :)

Hrmmm... if that was true I shouldn't be typing this here and now? :eek:

[frogman]

I did somewhere around 60 hours once then I slept for almost 24 but I was only 17 I could do that crap then.

I once went to barrie for the weekend didn't sleep the whole time tried to drive home to Hamilton and ended up in belleville where I had to sleep in the car at the mall till mall security woke me and told me to leave.
