well, i have known people to stay awake for a about a week and only nap an hour or 2 in between. It's called depression. You find something to keep ur mind off of your problems. I have heard of people that reads books, one that just watches tv, one that plays computer, one that shops and one that ALWAYS sleeps.
If u're saying u DO stay up or know someone who does - it's not healthy.
If u want to do it for fun - i wouldn't advise that. U wil throw ur body and mind for a loop. Ur immune system will b knocked down to nothing, ur digestive system - EVERYTHING will be screwed up ------ which could LEAD to depression.

You will suffer from sleep deprivation, and you will not be able to make wise decisions or think rationally at all. I do not believe that a person can stay awake for 2 weeks or really a whole week. I feel that to stay up to play on a computer or any other gadget is very silly and insane. This is a question that has no merit or sense to it.

My current record is 23 days and nights. I don't recommend it to anyone, because it isn't healthy. Also, I have bi-polar manic depressive disorder, and am usually manic when I go on my sleepless bouts. I can't say that I play the computer or use gadgets all that time, but I do a little in all that time usually.

Sleeping is a necessary part of the human day under normal conditions. I doubt you could last for 2 weeks without rest. Depriving yourself of needed rest is physically unhealthy as well as downright dangerous. Links explain more and the second link is a chart on mammalian sleep requirements. Interesting...Giraffes need 20 minutes.

It's possible, I assume you get to eat and drink and go to the bathroom. I would not recommend it though, I stayed up for 2 days straight, not playing video games though, and I was gone!
trivia: You burn more calories sleeping, than sitting in front of a tv or computer.

A human can last for up to 14 days without sleep. Afterward it dies. Still, after a week you may develop schizophrenia, heart diseases, kidney diseases, diabetes, so on. Not to mention epileptic seizures if you play the computer.
