    I just flew back from South Asia to CA, which is about a 42 hour trip with layovers. I think I maybe got three hours. Generally I can't go more than about 30 hours. I slept for almost an entire day after I got home.

    Around 36 hours at most. However, even before the 24hr mark, I would start talking gibberish and feel drunk-ish... :(

    Once I hit the 48 hour mark, I get past the sleepy stage and can stay up for a long time... However, I don't ever try to stay up for more than 20 hours at a time.

    Yea i'm around 48 hrs mark too.
    Once you pass the sleepy stage, your body and mind enter an auto mode.

    24 hours = max. I need at least a little sleep, or I can't function. XD

    It actually all depends on what I'm doing. If there's something that's keeping me up, I can go on for days (well not exactly dayS, but more than a day). I'd say for me, an average of two days.
