I once made it through a day of classes (3 lectures) without getting [i]any[/i] sleep the previous night. I also had an out-of-class conversation activity with my foreign language teacher and a mental health appointment that day. This is still my strongest feat of sleepless perseverence. It's also made stronger by the fact that I had only slept for about a couple hours the night before the sleepless night, in addition to a few hours.
It was a 36-hour stint of awakeness overall, and I remained high-functioning to the end. I even went on a run at around the 30-hour mark.

@BlueVeins oh man that's crazy. Can't believe you remained high functioning to the end. . .I'd probably faint or something. I only stay awake all night if I have a test or exam the next day, even if I'm prepared for it. And then as soon as the test is over I basically pass out till God knows when.

@rickfreeman15 Yeah, I had a lot of help from some strong-ass tea. I did lose the ability to visually focus near the end, but I still count it as high-functioning because I could still walk, eat, speak, think and listen. I was studying that night for a test (and doing homework), but I may've shot myself in the foot with respect to the former lol.

@BlueVeins I'm pretty sure if you do that too often it could kill you. Some time last semester I lowkey went crazy. I think I was awake for close to 30 hours or so and I was busy all through, so when I finally went to sleep I felt like I collapsed. And then when I woke up my body was literally shaking and for some reason I was wandering around my dorm half naked and barefoot, and only came to my senses when my feet touched the wet bathroom floor. I wonder how many people saw me walking by like that😅. I honestly need to find a way to 'fix' my body and sleeping pattern when I graduate. Finishing my final exams in two weeks
