If so, how did you feel during that time? When I tried it I just felt awful all over, couldn't keep my eyes open during breakfast one day, trying to get some sleep on the table before the great food got rid of my fatigue.
I've done much more than just twenty-four hours. It never feels good, but how you feel depends on how tough you are and what exactly what happening during the time where you were awake for an extended period of time.
I stayed up from a Saturday through that Monday - so maybe 50 hours all told. I spent the weekend just hammering through a massive paper I had put off for one of my classes. It was due at 10am on Monday, and I walked across campus to hand it in, walked back to my dorm, and basically passed out on my bed. I didn't wake up again until early Tuesday morning.
All the time, the most I've ever done is a little over two days. It's not that bad if you're doing something important but it can be torture when you finish or take a break and all you can think of is sleep like a person lost in a desert thinks of water.
I've gone 5 days without sleep or eating (Back when I was on drugs, guess which one). Now, I have to sleep. I can't fuction if I stay up for more than 20 hours. The brain and body needs sleep.
Yeah, a few times. Then when I sleep, it's horrible. It's like I'm overly tired to sleep well... so I have weird dreams and wake up quite often in a kind of semi conscious stupor... then back into the dream I go.

I have chronic insomnia and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I've gone up to almost 4 days without sleep and by that time you start to hollucinate and have heart pains.
i always stay up for two and ahalf days cause my insomia,but the only thing i feel when i do it is like a vampire i cant go outside without my retnas burning so i always need sunglasses
quite a few times...its not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. just make sure you eat healthy food and no sugar(makes u feel even more tired). for me, it also helps to keep on the move, i had to do a 2day/2night shift a few months back, i was fine till i got to clock out and sit down.
I do it fairly frequently to fix my sleep schedule when it gets too messed it up. Its not too fun to do, the first half of the day you will want to kill yourself, eventually though you will feel a second wind and not feel tired for awhile. It's odd. I use 5 hour energy mid day usually to help make it through the day. The longest ive stayed up straight is 2 and a half days and that was nuts. Was losing my mind. Don't recommend it.
Once in a while. Really, the only thing for me is that I have to keep active. I have driven without sleeping, and that's bad I know. But I can do it. Basically as long as I keep busy mentally and physically (I have to remain physically moving or I will crash, I can be doing great all day and then sit down at my computer and want to just die) I can last up to 28 hours usually. I've got a horrible bed and don't ever get a really good deep sleep, if I did I'm sure I could stay up longer.
After a day of not sleeping it depends on what I'm doing the next day. If I'm enjoying that day then I'll probably last for two days without sleep. Most of the time though, I get really irritated, bored and grumpy when I'm that tired.
Went 2 days without sleep. End up falling asleep just before my 3rd day. Only reason I didn't sleep that long was because I needed to complete a report. I was give 2 weeks to do it, but I procrastinated all the way til near deadline...:(
I stayed up for about 5 days during Hurricane Katrina, so much thunder and the batteries in my grandmother's emergency radio must have been made by God to have allowed it to stay on max volume the entire time.
Yes, a few times. But rarely I can be awake for more than 24 - 30 hours. More often than not my eyes just start to water and feel uncomfortable. Common sense normally kicks in before I try to push myself further :P

or, alternatively, instead of eating healthy, avoiding sugar and being physically active: drinking coca cola, eating pizzas and being at a LAN party works just as well
Yes,multiple times but i felt miserable each and every time.I need some good night's sleep otherwise i just feel sleepy and fatigued and generally unable to do even simple work.
A few times. I remember maybe 10 years back when I set up a party for my sister's bday, I skipped sleep the night before so I can get everything finished. During college, I skipped sleep to study for exams. It worked well actually, I'm more lucid when sleepy or grogy rather than over-thinking things when I'm fully conscious. Lastly, 2 years back, I went to Manila for three weeks to train our staff. They worked a grave yard shift there. I had to work during the night, and I could barely sleep during the day. There where 2-3 days when I didn't sleep at all.
