What is the longest you've been awake without sleep? When and why did you do it?

So I kinda just realized I didn't sleep for the past 24 hours. Noy sure if it's the longest I've been awake, but probably of the top 5 longest. I'm dealing with depression so my sleep cycle have been fucked up. Got coffee I think around the 12th hour mark.

I've basically just been watching youtube videos, browsing lemmy. Googled random things.

Idk why, I guess I just wanted some dopamine boost from coffee and now I can't sleep lmao. Maybe a bit of anxiety around certain recent political events.

I honestly am not sure if I'm actually awake or dreaming.

Anyways, what is the longest time you've been awake without sleep? When did it happen and why?

About two days.
I woke up, went to school (around 7am). My mom and grandma were in vacation, so I was left with my dad. My "job" was to feed the cats at my grandma's place. Took a different bus so I could get to her. Fed the cats, and waited for my dad to come get me.
And waited. And waited. And waited.
He never came. I stayed up all night thinking he'd come back. My friend made a post on social media (I wanna say Xanga?), so I knew she was awake and I called and asked if her dad could come get me and drop me off at home.
Once home I brushed my teeth, changed my clothes, and was back on the bus. Came back and he was home, telling me there was a massive traffic jam that kept him locked in the road all night. He asked why I didn't just stay home.
There was no traffic jam.
- There was a "jam", but it wasn't in traffic..
  
  It was drugs. 🙃
  
  So less of a jam and more of a slam?
  
  Lmao He was stuck, but not in traffic 😂
