I mean more or less. Cuz every one is diffrent. But could it be like LSD? It would also be nice to know a little bit about not sleeping at what that can do? I mean what happens if you never sleep do you die? Whats the longest an one's ever went with out sleep? But thats just extra creddet.

I'd try it but I have to work.
LOL and its kinda like asking, what happens to Vampires if they don't drink blood. I just thought that was funny. OK, I'm done.

I used to have insomnia and not sleeping for several days is not a pleasant experience. You also become totally irritable, have lack of judgment and the hallucinations are not the LSD trippy kind - it's more like you're in a fog and not thinking clearly. If someone goes too long without sleep, they can slip into psychosis. I don't know if this is still the worlds record, but In 1963, Randy Gardner set the world record for staying awake: 264 continuous hours (11 days). Sleep deprivation can certainly kill you, it destroys your immune system.
still wanna try it? LOL!

Yes, it's true. And yes, without sleep over an extended period of time you will die. Studies have shown that rats will expire after 8 days of no sleep. There is a very rare inherited condition called Fatal Familial Insomnia, in which the person will gradually get less and less sleep until they don't sleep at all, then after about a month they die. This condition is only seen in members of certain families. Don't try to keep yourself awake for days at a time, it's really not good for you.

I would think you could go insane from lack of sleep, Im not sure exactly how long you have to go with no sleep before you start trippin, but I am pretty sure it would be longer than three days. Its very unhealthy because your mind ( like a computer needs this time to reboot) Im also pretty sure that if you go without sleep for to long then your body will give out and you will pass out. Because your body and everything will shut down. Ive never heard of anyone dying from lack of sleep but I wouldnt think that it would not be possible. A lot of people down through history have used this as a method of torture.
Last but not least I have went about 46 hours without sleep and then pretty much just passed out. I dont think I could take a whole three days lol...

Don't ever take the sleeping pills route!!
1. They will damage your liver big time and you can get into serious health problems.
2. You will get hooked up on them and you won't be able to have a normal life any more if you don't take your pills everyday.
The sleeping pills industry is damaging our health by capitalizing on our ignorance, and by distracting people from effective and natural ways to deal with this problem. I had been taking prescription sleep medications [Ambien] for over 5 years. It stopped working and I simply took more. Still did not work. Nights were very difficult - medication put me to sleep but I would wake up after 2–3 hours with a strong sympathetic response (fast pulse, pounding heartbeat, wide awake alert). It was a very difficult cycle to break. I was really in bad shape due to lack of sleep.
After years of struggling I was able to cure my insomnia naturally and pretty fast. I followed the Sleep Tracks sleep optimization program, here is their official web -site if you want to take a look: http://www.insomniacure.net
Ohhh..and Good Luck!

I drove road trains for years and I know that after a few days of no sleep you do start hallucinating,also dogs die after a couple of days of no sleep so humans wouldnt be far behind.

You could get that after just 2 days I bet. It shouldn't harm you much if you do it once or twice, but I guess there's only one way to be sure about that. I've read about a man who didn't sleep for years because of a rare medical condition. Didn't kill him apparently. Good luck with your investigations.

I've been 2 days without sleep, by about 10am the second day everything feels like a dream. I'd imagine that without sleep you'd get ill and eventually die if untreated.

It would be more accurate to say that after three days of not dreaming, you start to hallucinate. There have been clinical studies performed to investigate this.

Well,you could try it and come back and tell
us all about it!!!
You may not die cause your body should pass
out on it's own with or without your consent to
do so,and if you desire to know how long one
can last without sleep,you might try looking it
up on a search engine?
