I picked a week. And if you stay up for more than 48 hours, believe me, you won't be in a position to argue that it's been less than a week. You'd agree that red and green make purple at that point if I added that it's true because Santa Claus says so.

I hope you guys realize that it is dangerous for your health (both physical and mental) to stay awake for that long. Trust me... I've experienced it. :twisted:

The longest I've ever been up was 40 hours. My mind was racing too fast to sleep and even before I was able to opt to go to sleep, I felt good enough to drive, if I had somewhere to go at the time. I wonder if I was bordering on full blown manic at the time?

24 hours is the absolute "wall" I hit in college. It was accompanied by hallucinations; kind of a waking dream state where the room felt wierd.

*giggles* My body clock is so majourly screwed: I regularly stay up past midnight and wake up with my computer on my back!

Please say you have a laptop. If it's a PC, that's just bizarre.

*giggles* Fortunately I do! I tend to take it to bed with me so I can be all cozy, then I inevitably roll over onto my stomach in the night and wake up with a nice warm weight on my back!

In college I stayed awake for over 24 hours doing random crap like chatting over AIM. Then I took a final - BEFORE going to sleep. I guess it's lucky for me that I'm hypersensitive to caffeine, because one can of Mr. Pibb helped me through it. I aced the exam. Woooooo.

I need to stay up until I can't keep my eyes open at least once a week.
