You didn't stay up with a nootropic. You stayed up with a combination of stimulants. Nootropics are not going to allow you to go without sleep. In fact, most nootropics make me require more sleep, due to the increased neuronal energy consumption.
Going that long without sleep is not healthy. Your brain needs time to allow for the removal of waste products. Preventing that process from happening can damage neuronal dendrites. Factor in the partying after the fact, and damage is pretty much assured. I would not suggest it.
That being said, I stayed up for 3 days while partying in 3 cities in Australia. Australians are crazy!
