Is it okay to stay awake for 24 hours?
You definitely won't die from not sleeping for really any amount of time. Problem is obviously that sleep is very important to feel physically and mentally well. I have personally not sleeped for 2 weeks one time (and it wasn't drug inducedjust really bad insomnia) but I was required to go to a behavioral health hospital due to extreme hallucinations (again not good hallucinations), which is quite often a side effect around the 3rd day of money sleep. I'm not sure of your intentions but value sleep, but for all I know you were at a sleep over or playing games. In that case staying up can be a fun thing. So 24 hours is safe to stay up just don't make it a habit.
How do you stay awake for 24 hours?
stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water and dont nap. Be active through out the day, like exercising and do something entertaining that distracts you. Drink caffeine, like soda, coffee, or monster. Take a cold shower to get you energized and wide awake because hot water relaxes ur body. Good luck dude :) in my entire lifetime ive stayed up for 24 hours, 3 times. 1 last summer. And 2 this summer.
Can a person stay awake for 24 hours?
Omg, this just happened to me! I had woken up at 5pm Friday and I couldn't sleep at all, then it was Saturday, 2 pm and I was sooo tired and angry but by then,I had to start getting ready to go out with my mom, so I couldn't go to sleep! I had about 5 cups of strong coffee, which woke me up and helped my mood. I went on with the day and felt more than fine, surprisingly. I got home around 9 pm thinking I'd collapse in bed, but them I remembered a project I needed to do which kept me up until 2am. This is over 30 hours of no sleep, thanks to coffe! I think you are fine, coffee or energy drinks will help so much. If you don't use caffeine, there will be a short period of extreme tiredness where you will believe you just can't do it, but if you stay up, past that you'll get a sudden burst of energy and be wide awake for a while. Me and my siblings used to do this when we were little just for kicks.
How can one stay awake for 24 hours?
Be glad you can't, if you have to ask. I have gone as many as 5 days (once) without sleep. Usually it is 2-3 days, and it is mostly due to my PTSD, but I can stay awake for a day easy, just doing all I have to do. I am a 100% disabled Vietnam veteran, taking care of my 91 year old mother with Alzheimer's disease, so sleep is a second thought.Staying awake 24 or more hours, if you are not 20 and partying all weekend, if mostly due to not being able to turn off the brain. I have a dream, and I'm sure it is nothing like Martin Luther King Jr.’s. I have a variation of something that happened during my time in Vietnam, and going to bed, after having one of these dreams, I fear a repeat, so it makes it difgicult to sleep.Any time, after I have gotten my mother to bed, I feel like I can sleep, I go and try to sleep, and try not to worry that I may not sleep; othetwise, I will keep myself awake worrying about that very thing.

Residents, how do you stay awake 24-36 hours straight?
When I was in the United States Air Force I worked 16 hour shifts Monday tru Friday and to stay awake we would drink coffee and stay activeBut on the weekends we had to work 24 hour shifts on Saturday and 24 hour shifts SundayThey called it 16 / 80 as after any shift we worked we were given 80 hours off duty to sometimes be staying in our Barracks or be available for work at a moments notice but this never happened to me and we had a lot of free time between any shift…whether it was for 16 hours or on the weekend if we worked 24 hour shiftsI worked an office job and I would be on the telephone most of the time trying to order parts for grounded air craftBut when it was slow we could read, go to chow hall to eat but we read a lot but could not drink alcoholic beverages (some did anyway)But after 3 years 3 months and 3 days I got an early discharge but I remember these 24 hour shifts and when you are young and healthy it did not seem so bad as we always had 80 hours time off between shifts. Later the Air Force said that this was illegal and stopped giving the Airmen 80 hours down timeThe week before I got discharged I turned in all my military blankets bedding and some other gear but I also worked in a local motel in Sault Ste Marie MichiganThe day before I got my discharge papers there was a surprise inspection and I got asked where my stuff was in my barracks? I said I turned it in but the Sergeant said he never saw me in the three years as I was there as when I was not working I would change into civilian clothes and work in the motelHe was not impressed with my answer. Another sergeant wanted to court martial because my work was way below when I was so close to my dischargeBut they could not get the paperwork through in time as when I was discharged I just went homeBut ..sorry as I digress but many people like my brother who had Towing Company and in the bad snow storms he worked more then 24 or 36 hoursI am glad I don’t have to do this anymore and I am old and need my beauty sleep
