I want to try and stay awake for 11 days in a row, with no sleep, but I heard there is side effects, like what?
And how can I keep myself from falling asleep?

I've stayed awake for 3 days straight. After a while you start acting drunk. Stumbling and slurring your speech. I doubt you will be able to stay awake for 11 days. You better find something to keep you awake. After the 2nd day if you sit for more than a few minutes you'll pass out.

Well, you could take heavy doses of methanphetamines, but then you'll sleep for 11 days after you come down. LOL. Actually, I do not encourage the use of meth, nor staying up for 11 days in a row. Your body will be SO exhausted. Good luck man. More power to ya if you actually pull it off-especially without the use of drugs.

Hallucinations are one side effect. The most realistic hallucinations you've ever experienced. Why on earth would you want to stay awake for eleven days. Sleep deprivation is commonly used as a form of torture.

You should be aware of how many people are insomniacs, and don't sleep for even more than 11 days, and would give anything they have to get some sleep!
But if you like to become a "sleep-anorexic" then go ahead, the community (social security etc.) will pay for your stupidity.

Well, you could literally DIE from exhaustion. If you don't voluntarily shut your body down to recharge it will do it for you and not always in the normal way of sleep. Think of it like this, your cell phone has a rechargeable battery, right? If you plug it in to recharge every night it's good to go for the next day, right? If you lose your phone and it goes for a long period of time without being charged it's less likely to hold a charge and will need to be replaced. Going without sleep is a terrible, TERRIBLE thing to do to your body. Why would you ever want to even consider this?

Let's see, besides the obvious side effects of fatigue:
-headaches
-less immunity to sickness
-emotional stress
Please do everyone a favor, and if you are old enough to drive, stay off the road for these 11 days.

I suffer from insomnia. I can tell you that not only will you be moody but you will also get really bad headaches. You will have problems with your stomach. You will be a danger behind the wheel of a car and even on a bike. Things will not look the same from one minute to the next. You will start to hallucinate. So please if you are going to do this have someone with you that can help you if you need it.

I am sorry but, even though it is possible, its never recommended. You'll be sleep deprived after two days and you'll fall asleep that the most unwanted time. Everything you were ever good at will become medicore and even the sex drive is nil to none. trust me, you don't want to. But I am curious to why? Protest?

The only legal way is to go to the pharmacy and purchase a bunch of "No-Doz". Keep poppin those bad boys. I hold no responsibility for your health whatsoever, k?

"crank" can keep you up for 11 days, but it will put you in the hospital after doing it for that long --- i know people that have done it, but it didn't turn out well for them
