They said sleep is essential to the body just like breath. And it has been experimented on rats, that between 11-32days of sleep deprivation, they die.
I am just wondering if one decides to just stay awake or rather is forced to stay awake i.e without sleep, what is going to happen? Will he/she surivive? How long will he/she going to last?
Doctors oya...
I think 2 days

It depends on the situation on ground. I can go on without sleep for as much as i can go without water.

This doctor says.....DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.

In 1959....someone went for 200 hours without sleeping. Let's just say it didn't end well.

Sleep is needed for your brain to function well, helps keep the weight down, and helps you recharge for the business.

It is recommended .....8 Hours of sleep every 24 hours.

waow. That is like 8 days. Wondering what the 'not end well' could be...death, psychosis...

Actually.. Depriving someone of sleep is one of the worse torture possible.. There are machines that can do that by jolting the person whenever he tries to fall asleep... But i doubt if anyone can go more than 3 days without any form of sleep. The person fit mad

I have done 4 days without sleep.
I'm still sane

Did approximately 72hours this year.

Had to write two exams everyday, consecutively for three days. One in the morning, the other into the evening. The most stressful week of my life.


Modified: I know of a resident doctor that stayed awake for 4days. Residency is a bit.tch

The longest I stayed was 2days.. during my final ND exams, all my papers were back to back. By the third day I could feel my sanity leaving me, I ached all over I couldn't do anything not to even mention reading.

...one is forced to stay awake?

The CIA is accused of forcing suspected terrorists to stay awake for a period of time depriving them of sleep for a period of time unimaginable.. It has physiological and psychological effects..
