I don't like coffee :(

I need to stay awake, not sure if they sell it in Holland but have a look for some pills called "Pro Plus"
I use them, they are great as they are just caffine Tablets and they work a treat for keeping me awake. And perfectly legal :)

I've had my share of occasional 14- to 16-hour workshifts, most of them not scheduled but done out of necessity since things at my previous company were not kept in order (by management). But hey, I enjoyed being able to eat out and hop onto IRC through the DSL connection there during my late-night break. Currently my work schedule isn't too beastly, thank god.

Pah! That's nothing.

I use pure willpower to keep me awake (not the droner kind)

My record is now 40 hours!

And yes.. my eyes are so black and saggy I look like I've been on crack for 6 years.

It's called Astral Projection. Well, if you follow New age theories and other such occult studies. Or if you're a paranormal kinda person, it's called an OOBE. (Out Of Body Experience). However, psychiatry cannot explain it. The closest it gets is lucid dreaming.

Heh.. can anyone guess I've studied this stuff? :D

Heh, a mere 40 hours? I've gone 3 days awake on nothing but willpower on multiple occasions. Once were were gaming with friends (D&D), we ALL stayed up for 3 days (some feel asleep faster than others). :P

Last anime convention I went to I also stayed up the entire weekend.

(Never measured the exact number of hours, but the record probably stands at around 60 hours) :P

Try 12 days courtesy of illicit chemicals. In that time I wrote about 10k lines of code (C at the time, none of that pansy ass OOP crap), and spent more time gaming than I ever care to repeat. At the end of it all I was hallucinating, and slept for 2 days straight. As a bonus, I lost 6 pounds as well! :)

... thank god I only care to do 24 hour stretches now...
