I heard that you could get brain damage, or even die. Is it dangerous? How dangerous, and what could happen to me?

You would be dead
The body can not go more than 10 days without sleep. After2 days you would have visions. After 4 days of no sleep you would be going insane.

no you won't die.
you'll be cranky & irritable & very very tired.
ask any insomniac.
I went for 4 months with virtually zero sleep... I would get maybe a total of 2 hours a night in 20 minute increments if I was lucky... for 4 months.
this was due to chronic pain.
i was almost suicidal, not from the lack of sleep (altho that didn't help) but from the pain.
adrenaline kicks in & other brain chemicals take over. I actually took not one, but 2 Ambien one night & still didn't sleep.
The brain is a crazy thing.

It's almost impossible unless you do a whole lot of crystal but even then it's really dangerous. You shouldn't push yourself to see how far you can go because it may cause some serious damage. But you could power nap, that's not technically sleeping.

It is impossible because once i went 1 day without sleep and I almost fell asleep when i was standing up. I went to bed at 8:30 and woke up at four!

You would go into some kind of copic state or a coma and your brain might just die from lack of sleep hormones.

I wouldnt risk it. Go see a doctor SOON. I know when i heared of it, the # of days was less than 12, and your brain will shut down, and you will die.

After about three days you would start hallucinating, eventually you would die.
