The longest I've stayed up was 72 hours. I actually worked all 72 hours on a project that had to be done by a specific date and in which the 2 people that were supposed to be helping me weren't (one was on vacation for two weeks and had left on it a week before we were given the deadline, the other called in sick for two days and wasn't much help when he was actually there).

I usually get 2-5 hours of sleep at a time so that's probably why I might seem abrupt or rude on this site sometimes. Literally anything will wake me up, if I leave my bedroom window open for the night to get cool air the first bird to sing in the morning wakes me up. If I have the window closed but hear a car door slam across the street it'll wake me up.
