I want to know how long is the longest you have stayed up without ANY sleep...
The catch is that is has to be a design/creativity related reason...
I get the liberty of going first... I clocked out at about 39 hours strait... I was in school, working on a website that I was WAY behind on...

I figure sleep can always be made up the next night if things are urgent enough

um.. about 60 - 65 hours which included djing a party, a battle, writing on some walls, and a bboy practice as well as doing some work on a hip hop mag i was head designer for back then...
after about 38 hours, there's a very strange eurphoria, but it's truly dangerous to try to function in any serious way.

4 days, 3 nights which was about 85 hours. It was when I was typing out my thesis for my MA. NEVER write out a thesis because you have to type it...
I was really fucked up after it...

Last one: 36hours.
Personal High Score: 3 days during my last semester of college (looming deadlines for seior projects). There were bugs crawling on me for the last couple hours. Caffeine/no sleep induced hallucination are fun.

Beat that:
In the first six months after our daughter was born (05/07/02) I used to get up to 2 hours per night. No more.Now it's up to 6 hours, if we are lucky. Girls just wanna have fun. No sleep.
