What is the longest you have ever stayed awake for with a nootropic?

No, they are not nootropics in the strict definition. They have side effects, and tolerance buildup. And certainly you cannot make the case that sleep deprivation is useful in a nootropic sense. Perhaps in a sense that you procrastinated, and now have to stress your body to compensate for that decision. However, you could have had the same or higher scores if you had studied at the appropriate time, then taken the exams after a good amount of sleep. At the very least, it would have been healthier. Then your antioxidant stores would not have been depleted for your partying session afterwards.
