I've been around long, so I've been through long stay-ups. My longest time was 42 hours at a movie camp-out. How about you?

If 15 minute naps are allowed, then the longest I've stayed up is four months. I went through a summer with major sleep problems and 15 minutes here and there kept me going. Had weird out of body experiences that were actually really interesting.
I'd zone out a lot and would notice clocks suddenly skip forward. In those times, I was told I had perfectly normal conversations with people, of which I remember nothing.
I had out-of-body-experiences too, which were actually quite pleasant once you get past the weirdness. I know why people refer to it as being above yourself, looking down, because that's the best our language has to offer. It's a bit like that, but it's more like being inside yourself and outside yourself at the same time, but without this being two conflicting views. It's like seeing a bigger picture.
When I finally did try to sleep, I couldn't. I was seasick in bed and I was seeing an angel made up of lines of glowing blue light at the end of my bed. That was kind of pretty but I felt so mortally ill, I couldn't really take it in.
I don't think I'd do it again, although I still go through scary periods of sleeplessness with insomnia or when work has piled up.
After coming out of the hospital for the third time, I realized that I have a problem so I sought help and started to be careful and learn about my illness but the meds they gave me then where shit. I really enjoyed staying up for long periods as it's kind of a good anti-depressant. I used to say that anything under 50 hours ain't that bad.
Lately I have better meds and take them regularly so I sleep every night. After 30 hours or so I hit a wall and rarely pass it.
I think. I don't recommend it myself. at least ... not including alcohol.
last time i did that, i drank two beers. the first one was fine, on the first day as part of my lunch,... the second one was the next day, and o boy. that last swig of beer tickled my gag reflex and *bleh*
ya. i actually got sick from one beer technically. although in my defense it wasn't from the alcohol, just that last swallow. :(
Needless to say, my parents never bought me another colouring activity book ever again.
