Probably 48, at best. Never had enough of the right drinks and pills to pull anything more than that.

its all willpower, force your way throught it, without the drinks, need to be in a group of people so you can slap each other, that keeps you awake

Damn EC, don't push yourself like that.

As for me, 60 hours without caffeine. I haven't tried with caffeine yet. I slept for 10 hours after that.

I know someone who claims to have stayed awake for 5 days without sleep.

Around two whole days, but that's only because I was addicted to Diablo 2, and i didn't crash afterwords, i just felt like a zombie, unable to sleep yet dazed.

In February 2000 I slept about an hour of sleep a day, around 10-11 am. Went on for about three weeks. Just insomnia brought on by depression (I'd just failed to get into vet school, which meant that I literally had no future). Miserable, miserable state to be in. One of the worst times of my life.

My the record for literally no sleep straight was only about 36 hours, I think. I don't remember how I did it or why, because it was a while ago (late high school or just after it?) Don't remember how long I slept after that, either. I actually can't go all that long with no sleep at all, but I have a bad habit of functioning on very little sleep. Sucks.

If you get even an hour of sleep, then it's possible... but after 5 days of no sleep whatsoever, you start hallucinating, become paranoid... etc.
