72 hours (I did get maybe a 1.5 hour nap... somewhere in there).

Wife was giving birth, things got complicated, I was so nervous, anxious and excited. The hospital was terribly uncomfortable as we had to be in a special room due to my wife's situation. Driving home from the hospital was EVERY ounce of pure WILL I've had. Those 72 hours I drank so much caffeine... so many pots of terrible coffee... I got home and slept for about 5 hours once the family came over to see the baby.

It was the worst and best time of my life.
