What is the longest
2005-07-03, 9:20 AM #41
I've only gone about 27 hours without sleep. Though I might beat that in the next day or so.

You know, you have a habit of making posts that just have no substance to them whatsoever. I mean, am I supposed to believe the 16 year old high schooler who has no experience with drugs whatsoever, or the meth addict that knows the effects of said drug and what it can do.

In other words, post me a link or something that says you'd be dead in a month (because I'm about 95% certain that you pulled that out of your ***).

One famous case is the disc jockey Peter Tripp who in 1959 stayed up for more than eight days as a promotional stunt. After a few days, he began to hallucinate, seeing kittens, mice, and cobwebs. He also became paranoid, insisting that an electrician had dropped a hot electrode into his shoe.

In 1964 high school student Randy Gardner (17) attempted to break the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest time awake -- 260 hours. And after 11 days without sleep he suffered no hallucinations or paranoia and no psychotic symptoms. But Coren challenges this often repeated fact in his book. Coren describes the day-by-day impact on Randy, as documented by John Ross of the US Navy Medical europsychiatric Research Unit in San Diego. Randy had trouble focusing his eyes on day 2, hallucinations on day 4, and slurred speech and a short attention span by the last day.


The longest a person has stayed awake was 11 hours. If people can't function properly after 11 days without sleep, they would be dead within a month. Not only the hallucinations, but you just start to fail to think properly. After a while you slur speech and you can't talk soon after. You'd forget to eat, and after a month your brain would be at a level of forgeting to breathe. You'd die.
Think while it's still legal.

Getting on for 72 hours once at a LAN. It was a week long, and I somehow managed to get stuck with different people on THEIR sleep cycles and ended up not sleeping. Mind you, towards the end it was crazy. As the time since I slept increased, so did my elite gaming skills.

I've done loads of 24-32 hour stretches, including work. (Used to work from 6am-2pm)

Whoa, since when did you become a medical expert?

And the longest anyone's stayed awake was 11 days? Can you beyond the shadow of a doubt prove this? I mean...1954...we've come up with a lot more stimulants that are a lot more powerful since then (including meth).

While SAJN doesn't know what he's talking about, I think I do. I know many people who have been addicted to crystal meth, and I've event tried it once my self. They never stayed up more then 5 or 6 days at a time. Not to say that you can't do more then that, but a month is out of the question. I'd say 2 weeks is probably around the point where you would die. Don't forget, meth makes you not eat, so the person probably hasn't eaten hardly anything in that whole time.

As for the man who hasn't slept in 25 years, I straight up do not believe that. Number one, I think it is called "Ripley's believe it or NOT" for a reason. Secondly, How could the guy prove it? It could just be a hoax. What did they monitor him for 25 years?

Yeah, but how many times did they do it in that 5-6 day span?

I'm just saying everyone is assuming you'd die before a month was up. I seriously doubt that, especially since there are people out there with insomnia who stay up for a week at a time on a few hours of sleep.

Around 40 hours on a [school] trip to Belgium. Damn vibrating bus kept me up [and a friend who had the urge to turn on her flashing afterburner every so often].
nope.

Yoshi, you're the one with no evidence. You provide documented evidence that someone has stayed up more than 2 weeks via speed or meth.

And please, provide a website that is credible. I don't consider a forum post to be credible.

Uh, I'm not saying for sure that people can. Maybe they can't. I'm just saying, SAJN isn't providing evidence, hard concrete evidence that you'd die before a month was up. He stated it. I never stated "NUH UH YOU'RE WRONG" because for all I know I could be wrong. I've known people who have stayed up for weeks at a time, and I've heard of people staying up for a longass time on meth, but SAJN flat out made some uncredited and probably untrue statements (like about forgetting to eat after a week or so and eventually forgetting how to breathe).

So I don't have to provide any proof. Nice try though.

The two cases he posted are WELL KNOWN. I have seen 2 tv reports about the first one, and have seen them documented in multiple text documents.

While you may doubt the credibility of Wikipedia, it's definately better than SAJN:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Tripp


And it specifies the same thing.

...What does that have to do with anything? I'm talking about proving that you would die in under a month, that you would forget to eat, all that other bs he said. A quick google told me those cases were well known.

You wouldn't forget to eat. Crystal meth is a harsh appetite suppressor. You literally would gag/puke if you tried to swallow food, I've seen people do it.

It is an appetite supressor, but I'm not talking about staying up JUST on ice, though I'm not sure it could be done any other way. Regardless, if someone COULD stay up for a month or more, without the enhancement of any drugs, I couldn't see them forgetting to eat or forgetting how to breathe. But I'm no health expert, admittedly.
