what's the longest time you went without sleeping

I once have to do 4.5 days because of casualty at work. By the end of it, I was seeing shit like people not there, having conversations with bulkheads. Not fun.

Idk like 3? 4? Kind of a blur. Hadn’t eaten in 2 days so it ended with my grandmother walking in on me crying into a bowl of cheerios at 4am. She was able to calm me down enough to get me to sleep.

It used to be a common occurrence for me to not sleep for two days then just doze off and on for like 10 hours. That was my sleep schedule.
 
I've stayed up all night a couple of times before, though during that time I always ended up going to sleep in a random location.

79 glorious hours of writing a final paper, sucking down 4 pots of coffee and telling my roommate to do his goddamn laundry.

5 days. 5 loooooooooong days. Where I learned that late night tv sucks, early morning tv sucks more, there is a period of time between nightfall and dawn where the whole earth seems to hold its breath for a moment......
Or maybe I was hallucinating it.

I was seeing weird colors and auras around everything. Think my dog talked to me too. I wrote (what seemed like to me at the time) epic poetry that turned out to be just me trying to rhyme my grocery list. People are really strange when they haven't slept for a few days.
