56 hours was my all time record. I think everyone should get 10 hours of sleep a night and the world would be a much better place. I would be less cranky, anyway.
I had a whole section about civic pride.

See, more than 9 hours of sleep makes me useless. (Unless I'm coming off a period of extended sleeplessness, in which case I can do 18 hours at a time.) It just makes me groggy and lethargic and I don't want to leave the house.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
More than 6 or 7 does that for me, as does anything over an hour or so nap wise.

In order to get out a special edition of my college newspaper, I stayed up from around 8 Tuesday morning until 10 Friday night. Towards the end, I was seeing Lovecraftian creatures in my peripheral vision. Ah, youth!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hmmm.... yeah, generally the halucinations start after you've been up four days or so....

45 hours and it involved 17 stuck in a metal tube flying over lots and lots of water. I could barely figure out how to unlock my door. And I never wanted to see another human being ever again. But I think that was due to the 17 hour part.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good LORD, people. I don't think I've ever been awake for 24 hours. Although, I guess there were a couple of days in college where I was close. But that was due to drinking, not working!!

I know. I do theatre and always have, but I have never gone without at least 2 hours sleep in a twenty four hour period. Of course, doing that for about a week leads me into being a crazy person.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I pulled all nighters in highschool, 2 in a row before my junior prom, and I am pretty sure I went three days without sleep after college graduation. I think at the end of that I was just walking around crying though, so not at all pretty.

I hate you all for discussing the concept of sleep. For some reason, The Carver (serial rapist who wears all black and a creepy porcelain mask) on Nip/Tuck really freaks me out, and like a dumbass, I watched an ep last night right before bed because I thought he wouldn't be in it, and there was a really creepy final scene. So, I woke up approximately every 20-30 minutes last night to make sure that he wasn't looming over me. Which is, frankly, extremely conceited on my part because part of The Carver's schtick is that he only attacks really attractive people. I mean, aside from the fact that HE'S NOT REAL. t /tired and cranky
