What's the longest amount of time you've stayed awake for?

Don't remember how long it was, but I read the Lord of the rings trilogy in one go.
More than a day atleast...
Wow that is impressive I struggled to stay awake for a couple of chapters at a time.
For me only about 48hrs of movies and games about twice a year. Wouldn't want to try more I feel sick enough after those two days.

Longest I have done is about is just over 3 and a half days, which was strongly game related, me and some friends had a marathon going, 3 TVs, 3 xboxs, 3 of us. XD After 3 days I kepts hearing the Dead Space soundtrack the freaked the hell out of me. XD lmao, but after 3 and a half days both my friends had fallen asleep, I followed, I was playing Assassin's Creed at the time, I had just started an assassination, and that's all I remember, I must've fallen asleep then and there controller in hand.

But yet 18 hours later, I woke up having completed the assassination, with no memory or recolection of it... Controller still in hand I think I can play Assassin's Creed in my sleep. XD LOL. :D

I stayed up for around two and a half days. I can't give an exact hour count.

It was not an experience that I'd like to try and repeat.

8 days due to insomnia eventually I wound up in the hospital from a sleeping pill O.D.

after 4 days I kept on proclaiming that Jimmy Hoffa was still alive and that he killed Tupac.

4 days. I'm an insomniac, so it's not that uncommon for me. I don't see things or get paranoid though. Oddly, during the day when I'm sleep deprived, I become extremely hyper.

My friend and I, despite the fact that I'm a logical, intellectual person and he's a pot smoker (our friendship was kind of like the Fox and the Hound) were extremely sentimental and would usually wake up or stay up until sunrise, so we could walk to the edge of town and watch the sunrise. We'd spend the night at my house fairly often, and I'd have to put our longest streak at about 36 hours.

On the other end of the spectrum, I was extremely sick once and went to bed about 3 PM. I didn't wake up until about midnight the next night.

7.5 days.
Worst experience ever.
By day three, I looked like I was constantly sweating.
By day five, there were little black cats running across the floors, walls and ceilings.
By day six, said cats were attacking me
By day seven, the english language no longer made sense, either hearing it or speaking it.
Then I passed out, I think I was drugged. Slept for 24 hours, got up and went pee, ate something and fell back to sleep for another 24. Then I was fine. Never again.

44 hours playing Lineage 2 with only a couple of breaks in between. Started hallucinating and I got a weird feeling like it was really hot and cold, couldn't take anymore and just instantly fell asleep.

Something about 60 hours. I worked on digitizing/cutting a TV show a colleague of mine fucked up.
The show was aired about ten hours after I finished the master tape and the producers barely managed to screen the episode before.

I looked like a real life zombie afterwards and got two days off.

Longest I can remember was 36 hours, 5 hours sleep, then 24 hours. I guess I can only take credit for the first 36 hours though. It was a perfect combination of Xbox360 and Internet.
