Gods honest truth- When I was in the Navy I was forced to work 96 hour days. That's 96 hours without sleep! 4 days! The first 24 hours is tough- after that it gets a little easier for the next 24, but after that I experienced extreme tiredness followed by acute awarness, but by the end of 96 hours I was just mindless drivel on auto pilot. I can think of at least two occasions when I worked 96 hour days, numerous 72 hour days, and tons of 48 hour days.
In one week I quit counting hours worked after I passed the 120 hour mark. That is real work in real time. Never again though.

Very good question....takes me back to my retail days doing inventory....anyways I have been known to last quit some time without sleeping....38 hours was my longest spurt and I was fueled by Mountain Dew and Red Bull too.....always active and keeping bust during the duration to stay up....have to admit my senses weren't as acute towards the end but I was able to maintain a good pace!! I actually have worked several shifts of 24-36 hours before as well so I was conditioned for lasting power!! I don't recommend weak or ill people to even try this!! Im glad I dont have to do this crap anymore though.....even with overtime pay etc....it wasnt worth it!!!

I once went about 84 hours (3 1/2 days) without sleeping, and then I only needed about 4, maybe 5 hours of sleep to refresh myself. I've never actually tried to test my self to see how long I could go.

Because of the shift I work, I typically am up around 36 hours straight at least once a week. I hate it, but as long as I keep moving I can deal with it...I'd rather sleep though...

I can go like 20 hours without sleep and not yawn one time.

I've stayed awake for about three or four days before. But if you mean to literally stand on my feet while awake....then I stood an inspection once that lasted 16 hours.

I once went 48 hours without sleep! I don't know if I can do that again, though.

I can go a day without sleeping, but then I become dangerous behind the wheel.
