    a little over 60 hours, when ME3 came out I played it from midnight (or whenever a VPN gave me access) until I had to go to work (dragging steel plates around a parking lot and spraying things with glue), then got home and played it until I had to go to work again when I got home from work after that I just passed out until the next morning. I have no idea why I got that obsessive, it doesn’t happen to me anymore. Which is actually less fun, it never really affected my life in a major way except this one time.

    Honestly I have no clue how people even stay up after 24hrs. My body just crashes and i will just sleep on the floor if I have to.

    About 50 hours. My wife was pregnant with our daughter and things went south real quick. Ended up in emergency surgery and our daughter spending a week in NICU. My wife is still dealing with issues from the ordeal, but my daughter is 18 months old now and she is just an absolute treasure and sooo smart! We’re so thankful to have her in our lives.

    About 48 hours. I did a 100km team charity walk that took about 30 hours, I woke up early and anxiously before it, and was too wired on caffeine to fall asleep easily afterwards.

    A week.

    I was in my teens and had no commitments at the time and just spontaneously decided not to eat or sleep for a few days - which I later decided would be a week. At the time, I had no idea of the world record for this or I probably would have tried for that - although, obviously, I was not supervised or anything.

    The afternoons from the second day onwards were the worst - when I felt pretty lousy - but otherwise I was running on serotonin and was pretty much on a natural high for most the duration.

    At the end, I cycled 12 miles during which one of my feet cramped and left me jabbing at the pedal as it went past, but I did it ok.

    I slept extremely well when I finally did, but I took some while to get back into the whole eating thing again.

    There is no way in hell that I could do anything like that now.

    On was on this helicopter infil-extract mission (walking multiple km in and out for fun) and got back to base, and was immediately put on the gunturret of a convoy that was going to an outpost. I was oh by the way informed I going to spend the next few weeks (read: months) there so it was a frantic packing job before hopping in the turret. I think I was up in the ballpark of two solid days,[and in thinking about it] a hair over going into a day 3. I ended up throwing up from energy drink overdose.

    [Edit: in retrospect perhaps not an amazing amount of time, as I’m sure plenty of gaming sessions have gone long- but it did feel the longest. Certainly the most sustained exertion and concentration without sleep.]

      I can’t imagine being awake that long and having to do things that have actual consequences. At least if I drop into a microsleep while playing a videogame or get paranoid and shoot at a friendly no one gets hurt.

      Definitely seen the black dog on the road driving and that was only after a 24hr stint awake and behind the wheel for 11hours under some less than ideal conditions. I said no to my boss a lot more after that, luckily they understood.

        It’s funny, my most distinct memory of the time is being on the exposed turret and reaching for my energy drink can, only to find it frozen solid to the metal of the turret. It was about that time I started really realizing how long I’d been up for.
