What's your story.

37 hours - coach. (foot inflated)

LA to Heathrow, 6 hour transit delay at Heathrow, (worst airport in the world). Heathrow to Joberg. S Africa 12 hours. - foot swells again to college football size- bush plane to Kruger, 2 hour lobby wait, then 2 hour flight.

S Africa customs held me for an hour questioning because of  "disruptive attitude" at passport counter.Ya think...can't walk lady -just stamp it.

42 hours- New Orleans, Louisiana Sugar Bowl

I was a complete zombie near the end.

92 hours is Super Human stuff!

I'm sure most have done 36-38 on occasion. That's just skipping a night.  Never felt compelled to do more.  But I once did an all-nighter every other night for 6 days.

77 hours---was in Brazil for work---got up at 7:00 for briefing at 8:00 on Monday.  Doing a setup and extraction and ran into all sorts of problems.  Finished early Thursday.  Fell across the bed around noon and thought I was gonna sleep for a couple hours before my flight back to New York.  Slept 11 hours; missed flight.  Caught later flight and slept the entire flight back.  Will never forget that week!

One time I was up 19 hours straight.

 

Maybe 48 tops. I'd be a zombie by then, hard to know for sure.

I agree---think you have to be up and about---or jacked up on something...my opinion---if you stopped at all you would knock out!

Oh, sleep deprivation, is it. Eyes are shot at the end of day and I thought it said "Sheep deprivation".

Christ, I thought, we have a lonely Scotsman here tonight.

Gambled / Played pool for over 48 hours straight with friends a couple of times. When i was i college it was a nice way to relax when exams were over and you a few free days to kill. Time flies and it doesn't even feel like 48 hours.

IIRC  , i saw a Navy Seals tryout documentary and they said about 90 hours is the point where it's almost unsafe.
