Once I stayed up for forty hours! Not sure why, but I couldn't go to sleep. How about you? What's the longest time that you've ever stayed up?

Back when I was in high school I think I stayed up for around 36 hours. I'm not sure why I stayed up that long. I know I remember going spelunking (probably not the safest thing to do on no sleep lol). But I'm not sure why I stayed up that long. Probably just being a stupid teenager lol.

When I was a teen, I'd do pretty much the same thing. I was just testing my limits though. Now, it's not so much fun staying up till 5 AM and having to get up three hours later to deal with a screaming toddler. Those were the days, though, right?

The thought of staying up till 5am makes me tired just thinking about it lol. I'm a big wuss now. If I stay up past 1am and have to get up with my daughter bright and early I'm struggling. It just always makes me laugh when I see my fiances 18 year old brother staying up all night with his buddies. Brings back memories lol.

Deadlines still cause me to push my sleep boundaries further and further. But, it does my health no good at all!

I never stayed up for longer than 24 consecutive hours but I came very close. The longest that I have ever stayed up was 22...I couldn't get to sleep and I don't remember why.

I can't figure out why I stayed up that long either. I was visiting family at the time, so maybe my system just got an adrenaline charge. Could not sleep though.
