What is the longest you have gone without sleep?

I have gone three days. I've heard people say they have gone a month without sleep, but am not sure I believe that.

Just a full 24 hours. I'll never do that again. My body literally cannot function (I can't walk, see, or concentrate) without sleep. I was so sleepy once when I came from work, I slept in the bus stop where a lot of homeless say in a less safe area in town. Crossing streets, etc aren't good and I'm at higher risk of seizures. But a day at most. Not more even if I could force it.

I once inadvertently stayed up for 2 days straight, way back in the days of my waning teenagehood. It was a movie marathon with my friends and we might have overindulged a little on our commitment to our little endeavor. Thinking I had Monday off I was harshly reminded at dawn when looking at the date that I was thinking of the week after and reluctantly lumbered into my 11 hour shift with coffee on hand. I don't really remember anything after that. But I did wake up on my beanbag in the living room still in my work uniform lol!

Around 8-9 years ago I started to lose sleep pretty badly.
I'm sure I've gone well over a week without sleep before, though not often.
If I had to make a guess, 13 days sounds about right.

I have gone without sleep for 7 days, if you don't count falling asleep for less than a minute (they call that "micro-sleep").

Back in college to get a paper done, with lots of coffee and cigarettes 3 days. Today if I go more than 24 hours I will be hurting.

I was up for 3 days once when working on a project in school (Architecture & Design).
Lines got blurry on that last day.
