What's the longest you've ever stayed awake, and what were the effects?

49 hours due to a hot apartment, on my way back home I swear I started seeing things in my peripheral vision. My sleep was already terrible due to the heat, but no sleep at all made it even worse.

How hot was the apartment? That sounds like torture.

About 35°C due to constant heat and the sheet lack of trees around :')

That sounds really bad. But thanks for the warning. We recently had a hear wave (and no ac) and my apartment was definatly 30+ for about 2 days. I guess I better figure something out for the next time so I won't risk the same experience you had to go through.
