Years ago, I read of experiments where mice or other experimental animals were kept awake for many days (more than 5, I think) and died because of it. I have also read of experiments were human subjects were kept up for 3 or 4 days and began to suffer serious hallucinations.
Can anyone confirm either of these?

i found this interesting website for you: http://www.sleep-deprivation.com/html/effects.php3
and i have heard of people not only hallucinating but their mind starts playing other tricks on them as well.. i.e. conspiracy theories and the like.

After 3 days people start dreaming with eyes open, after 5 days hallucinations, after 7 days insanity (temporary) disappears after 24-30 hours of sleep.

Can't comfirm the results of either study but can tell you as RECOVERED meth user that staying up for a LONG time (several days) does cause you to hallucinate. It did me anyway.

Sleep deprevation, that's a fun one. The longest I've gone with nothing to keep me up ie. drugs, was 7 days. You wont go insane and lose your mind, you will hallucinate, your mind will play tricks on you.
