What's the longest someone has ever stayed awake?

According to the Cleveland Clinic, symptoms of sleep deprivation include reckless behavior, hallucinations, and can eventually lead to really bad stuff like heart attacks and strokes. So yeah, it's bad for you, and the only legitimate reason to purposely avoid sleep is if you'll be murdered by a ghost in your dreams.

But that hasn't stopped people from seeing just how long they can go without any shut-eye. Most of us have pulled all-nighters or gone a few days with just a small amount of sleep, but trust me, you're not approaching the record. That's like if you walked a mile one time and decided you're pretty much Eliud Kipchoge.
