/n/ - NEET

Longest I went was 3 and a half days while trying to catch up on homework in high school. I only had a few tiny visual and auditory hallucinations but after doing work most of that time I was so mentally exhausted I wrote a few papers that were pretty much pure gibberish. I could probably do 4 or 5 if I didn't have to do work that whole time.

one and a half days
oh
so yeah 36 hours.
Then I accidentally touched a couch and passed out lol.

Only for like 18 hours, if i dont sleep enough i become a total zombie.

I once stayed awake for about 120 hours for an anime convention that had a day zero and an extra day on a holiday.
I have done similar 2 3 and 4 day binges like that at other conventions all to test my spirit.
tfw sleep 25 hours

72 hours and slept like a baby for 12 hours afterwards. And I still felt sleepy.

Almost 7 days before I blacked out from exhaustion. Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (plugged into charger) and good music to listen to. I lost track of time and didn't need to eat much because I was so focused on the game. I had a case of water nearby to stay hydrated and my room is right next to the bathroom. I had an electric tea kettle so I could just make food in my room whenever I needed to.

I put up towels over the windows to help keep the room warm. Around day 2 I started hearing sounds from the game even though they weren't even playing. When I'd close my eyes, I would be playing the game in my head and practicing invincibility frame dodging attacks. I would get headaches because my pupils would stay dilated so I had to turn the lights down and lower the brightness on my PSP.

Day 3 I would get bad heartburn on and off and my lungs/ribcage ached due to sitting in one position for so long so I started standing up to play until I started getting light headed and my vision got all swirly. Everything looked like it was breathing and it would twist in like a vortex motion. I couldn't look away from the PSP for too long or I would feel nauseous and disoriented. My tongue also started swelling up and my mouth would get dry and my lips were getting really chapped.

My face was physically painful to touch and my heart was beating rapidly even though I was calm. Day 4 rolled around before I knew it and my eyes were stinging really horribly, like I got sprayed with pepper spray or got hot sauce in my eyes. I started having to constantly burp and if I didn't I would feel like vomiting. The hallucinations of the game got worse and if I'd look away from the PSP, I could still see my the game playing and when I'd press buttons or move the analog nub, my hallucinations would correspond and project what would happen in the game along with the sounds.

My ears started feeling a lot of pressure like they were plugged up and I'd have to spit every once in a while or I would start being able to hear myself breathing. It was like thick mucous/spit that stuck to my throat and tongue. It was almost like a slime that I'd hack up and it felt good to get it out of my lungs and throat.

It's like when you are about to pass out and all sounds fade away into muffles and your brain is starting to shut down. I started getting shakes in my fingers and they felt cold and tingly like when your foot falls asleep or something.

My thighs felt like they were bruised and my ab muscles got all mushy and it felt like my guts were going to seep out of my stomach under my skin. I had trouble staying warm and was constantly shivering even though I was wearing a jacket and long pants with socks. My neck felt like somebody hit me with a crowbar and it was really painful to look up. When playing I'd be looking down at my hands so that's what caused the stiff neck.

Day 5 was when all the physical discomfort seemed to disappear and I felt like I was an energy being. I was connected to all the air in my room and was everywhere at once. The room was me and I was everything in the room. It felt like I was just a perspective in the room observing without any physical manifestation. My hands were merely an extension of the game and there to hold the PSP for me to view. I think I didn't have to blink as much and my breathing was much shallower.

Only the absolute minimum amount of breathing to keep me alive. I was focused inside of the game and in a meditative like state, my body was another person and a machine to allow me to play the game. My body felt numb or I couldn't perceive my own existence within the material world or something. I can't really explain it because I don't think there are words in the English language that can really capture what it feels like to be so disconnected.

In terms of the experience itself, it's similar to floating in water but you don't feel the water and you become the water while also being something within the water itself. You are inside yourself yet viewing your outside self from the inside while being an outside observer. And then you are separate from your inner self and outer self in some type of third consciousness.

Sounds no longer are sounds but emotions that are flowing through the air. Colors turn into emotions every sensation stops being what it is in regular reality and turns into a cosmic language that's universally understood by you. You have no idea what it is saying yet you understand what is being said with crystal clarity.

Day 6 and I was starting to feel heavy everywhere and everything started moving in slow motion with blurs and delays with interpreting information. I would hear something and then it would happen or I'd see something and then later hear what had happened like 5 seconds later. The emotional responses and interpretations were easy to understand but I started getting really confused from any type of sensation. I don't remember if I was still playing the game or not but I think I was.

I would look around and see the game environment around me in like a first person view but I would see my character move when I wanted. It wasn't third person even though I was looking from that perspective, I was there and at the same time an observer but simultaneously in two places at once existing as two separate things that are actually only one unit.

It's again difficult to describe with language because it was an experience beyond external comprehension. I remember going into a gray cave in the jungle an there was flowing water under me.

The water made a hissing sound but it was soothing to hear. All of a sudden the ground started to envelop me. It didn't wrap around me and I didn't sink into it or anything but I was projecting my consciousness into it. I was zooming into it in greater detail. I traveling to a different dimension just by focusing. I was integrating the ground into my nature and I was expanding.

I was transcending the laws of space and time overcome with immense happiness. I just felt like laughing all of a sudden and was the happiest I have ever been in my life. I kept laughing and laughing and I kept expanding as I laughed. The more I expanded as an energy being, the more I was everything and my body/being was a whole dimensional universe.

I don't remember what happened after that because I blacked out from laughing and woke up with a bunch of blood in my mouth. I'm probably missing a lot of details but this is the best that I can remember it. I do remember how the experience felt though and I don't think I can forget it even if I want to.

I dunno, about 20-24 hours. I only choose to do so sometimes if I stay up until too late (about 5AM) and have something important to do early that day. I don't deliberately mess with my sleep schedule because it makes me feel really cranky, delirious and apathetic. I'm pretty sure not sleeping regularly is bad for you.

Around 4 days, my normal sleeping cycle being 1 day of sleep and 2 days of staying up at the time.

Nowdays I can't stay up at all, my body has built up defense mechanisms during the time I had the strange sleep/wake cycle and I am forced to sleep by physical pain, trembles, diarrhea and throwing up if I stay up past 24 hours.

Around 24 hours, but I don't do that anymore. I show badly when I lose sleep and all my schizophrenic symptoms start showing a lot more.

Around 36 hours. I don't like to stay up at all but it happens sometimes. It just feels really uncomfortable and unpleasant to stay up more than about 20 hours, although going to bed afterwards does feel proportionately good.

The longest was 24h or so. I love sleeping and I don't see a reason to not do so.

In my hard core neet days it was until i passed out which was usually 24 - 36 hours of staying up but now i never do those things

Enjoy your aneurysm

5 Days on amphetamines.
After that I slept a whole 20 hours and felt tired at least another 2 days.

One time I stayed up for 8 days. I'd had just gotten out of the hospital for reasons and I was in constant pain and couldn't sleep even if I tried. So to pass the time I played video games and watched the currently airing anime. Before I realized it, 5 days had already passed. I still felt fine, and was still in a lot of pain if I tried to do anything involving leaving my room (luckily I keep rations in there) so I hung out there for the next couple of days, trying to sleep every so often but not able to. On the eighth day, I realized that there was a bunch of morphine and other painkillers that they sent me home with and I felt like a fucking retard. I ended up taking like 2x the recommended dosage and slept for almost 2 days straight afterwards.

>>12638
Wow, how did you feel after waking up from that?

>>12639
To be honest, I felt a hell of a lot better afterwards. The morphine and whatever probably helped a lot. There was a lot less pain had too. Probably because then I was regularly taking the morphine or whatever. But yeah, it was good living from there on out.

I can't go without sleep. I can go without food for awhile, but that usually results in my blood sugar crashing and passing out on the couch. The longest I've been awake is 24 hours, and even then it felt like hell on earth.

>my schizophrenic symptoms show a lot more
That too. The hallucinations outweigh the strength of my meds and I end up blacking out like I used to.

I could stay up for days on end in my early teens and not feel it at all, now after 12 hours my body basically gives out

The longest I stayed up was about 48 hours, if not longer. This was after I had some dental work done, and I was recovering from aesthetics. I had trouble sleeping the first few days, didn't help the fact that I was also puking every 1-2 hours too, but afterwards as I got better I was able to sleep properly again.

Really? I feel like I've only helped to condition my body to it over the years. In my early teens, I would have trouble going past 3am, and now I can easily shrug off several days without sleep.

A while ago I was up for 30 hours and felt like dieing. As I laid down my vision was spinning and I got a half awake nightmare in which I had to conduct an orchestra, because I watched a concert before. Now imagine yourself as the center of attention, people getting mad at you, as you can't do the job.

I will avoid such a situation in the future.

I sleep as much as possible. I never like getting out of bed.

>>12787
Amen

My longest has been 8 days, it felt like I was about to die.
I've also experimented with my sleep cycle a lot, you know, polyphasic sleep and all that.
I usually sleep about 4 hours a day and pull all-nighters every now and then.

I do the same thing. It works wonders.
I'll admit I'm probably more spaced out than your average person because of it, but it's a worthy trade off for the extra time to me.

I abhor sleep, but the longest I've gone is only around 36 hours, actually. Some day I'd like to try drugs which extend waking time. When I have a job, I sleep regularly otherwise work is misery. Without a job, I sleep as little as possible.

Bloody Nora, currently I have gone 40 hours. I'm not going to sleep either until for another 4 hours. I am struggling to do basic mathematics.

At least my new record will be 44 hours.
