What’s the longest that you can stay awake? Mine is a maximum of two days. Day two I’m done mentally and I can’t think straight enough to stay awake anymore.

^^ mine was also an overseas flight as a kid. probably slept ~6hrs on airport floors in a 72hr period, as our plane got delayed overnight and we ended up with like a 6hr layover + overseas flight and yeah it was awful. And no I didn't sleep on the plane; because of the delays, my school group got separated and so I was 16 and sitting in a middle seat between strangers it wasn't gonna happen

I think the longest was 3 days? Completely unintentional, I was working with my Dr. to switch one of my meds for sleep, and the pill he gave me didn't work at all, and it took me 3 days to get my old meds refiled (the pharmacy was starting to suspect me of something shady, since every few days I was coming in with another prescription for sleep pills)

Stayed awake in the past and can stay awake now are two different questions.
When I was like 13-14 ish during the summer I stayed up for three days just because i pulled two all nighters in a row playing games and chatting with people online when i was at my grandmas and my friends pushed me to go to bed but I remember still having energy but I slept for 12 hours and went right back to it for another day and a half before I had to leave my grandmas that week and go home.
Now, unless I'm having some severe insomnia, I can barely feel awake even with a full nights rest and feel like I need to lay down or something again after like 10 hours. Chronic pain and worsening disabilities punched me in the face. I miss having energy for anything or the ability to do thinks without worrying if my body is going to crumble before I even make it to 30.

I've never purposefully pulled an all-nighter. I think at minimum I've made myself nap for an hour or two before going to school, if I was up all night doing homework or studying.
I'll have to echo overseas flights as the longest. International flights to the east typically leave in the early evening and arrive in the local morning time (effectively 1-2am at home). I can't really sleep on planes, at most I dozed for like an hour. When I did my semester abroad, we were specifically told to NOT nap when we arrived and to make it to at least like 8pm before going to bed; the reason given was that if we slept mid-day it would be way harder to adjust to the new timezone. So that was probably a 30hr day?

72 hours (3 days) is the longest I've stayed up for. It was for a video EEG (electroencephalogram) to catch and detect seizure activity. I wasn't allowed to take any naps or sleep for a long period of time. I think I was in my early teens at that time, but it was hard and frustrating.
Usually when I travel from Europe to US or vice versa, sometimes I stay up for 24+ hours or more. It's not too bad, but it's exhausting.

Probably 36 hours. Nothing major. I just couldn’t fall asleep and was okay for a while. I slept well afterwards.

Around 40 hours due to international travel. Second would have to be 29 hours, again for international travel. I don’t stay up all night aside from travel, and that’s only because I can’t sleep if I’m not laying down.

Wow y’all are wayyy better at this than me. Even with my terrible insomnia, I’ve never gone more than 23 1/2 hours, and even then I was literally falling asleep after the 21st hour.
edit: but I have gone several days on very little sleep, like some time this year I went three months where I got less than an hour of sleep each night from homework and medication stuff.

50some hours, also during international travel, lol. I decided to pull an all-nighter the night before my trip, so that I would sleep on the plane and wake in the morning when we landed and be adjusted. Did not in fact sleep on the plane, landed at 5am local time, and stayed up till 11ish pm. I was so sleepy I was almost falling asleep sitting up in the busy Temple Bar in Dublin.
I definitely could not manage it nowadays, heh. I used to pull all-nighters pretty frequently in my 20s, but now they’re infrequent and I pay for it the next couple days, heh.
