What keeps you up?
rostheferret:
I found my body started to give out around the 64 hour mark. I spent an entire night doing coursework, then after classes prepared to go out to my friends all night birthday party, and my then gf was annoyed she hadn't seen me the past couple of nights so on night three I ended up at her place. I kept dozing off and awaking to say the most bizzare things. After 30 mins of me struggling to keep awake she told me to gtfo.
64 hours. Never again. I can survive on MINIMAL sleep for a decent amount of time, but NO sleep? :/

Longest gaming session I did was when WOTLK came out.
Played from midnight launch all the way to 8am-ish the day after (so... 30 hours or so?) Went from level 55 - 68 and logged off as the highest DK on the server at that time, by quite a few levels ^_^ (Then I had to werk :()
What kept me up was anime playing on the TV next to me, my brother playing on the bed behind me (also leveling) and Mountain Dew / Chipz / snacks / stuffs.
Yeah... I don't play WoW anymore :P
(and I DON'T weigh a billion pounds like the south park episode :P)
fohfoh:
Oh, loud music/consistent noise.
Otherwise, you hear electronics noises and that "weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeee" ringing sound in your ears. If bored enough but not sleeping, you look like you're catatonic.

Ones that are exciting enough to make you stay awake vs relaxing ones that put you to sleep quickly vs annoying ones that make you rage and skip forward (thus keeping you awake).
I will agree with others, one needs to do something interesting in order to not fall asleep. Though even that fails around the 70h mark, not even sitting up in a chair while doing something that normally requires a lot of concentration really works at that point (only done this twice, wasn't worth it). (Though there is that documented case of a person not needing any sleep at all with no real ill effects.)
