What's the longest anyone has ever stayed up?
Back in the ol' college days, I stayed up for 3 days straight. It turned out to be something crazy like 34 hours. By the end of that time period, I couldn't function one bit. Couldn't talk, walk, or think, let alone tell you what my own name was. 
Edit:
Woops! That's what happens when you type real fast and then copy and paste between the forums without actually looking at what you typed! It was 64 hours. (pressed the 3 on the keypad instead of 6)

I'm in the Army. When we go to NTC (National Training Center, Fort Irwin Cali) or on a really long field exercise, it's not rare for me to get...

Nah, you don't NEED it, the pills they give you in the MENTAL hospital just make you sleep that much.

I've had a week similar to Redzman's, cept it was in college. Hell, spent the last day up for close to 30 hours. I dont think i've ever been so damn tired in my life. You really cant function at all.

2 times a month I have "CQ" or "Charge of Quarters" duty. Means I have to babysit the barracks for 24 hours. Only problem is you have to come in for PT (Physical Training) 0600 which means I have to get up at home at 0500. Now, the 24 hours of duty doesn't start untill 0900 and goes till 0900 the next day.
Total?
28 hours of duty, straight thru, 2 days a month. One weekend day and one week day.
You get the next day off of course, 24 hours they say...
But you have to be in for PT. 0500 again... 20 Hours off...
