Every night I get six hours of sleep or less. And me and my friends are doing this thing for three days, and don't want to miss any of it. So if aided with massive amounts of caffeine is it possible?

Forgot to add that if there will be any long lasting side effects.

SEROUSLY YES>> I am truely a perfect example. Not that i want to do it but I have a 1 yr old that doesnt sleep at night AT ALL literally. By the time she falls to sleep..around 8-9 am)). my 3 yr old is just waking up at 8 or 9 am))) so i cant be sleep when my 3 yr old is up and getting into stuff. Grandparents and relatives dont come by to help either. I am seriously sleep deprived and have been awake for 3 days straight. after a while you actually get kinda dizzy. but if you drink a pot of coffee every 6 hours it picks ya up for a few hours. yes it is possible

It is possible. but not very healthy. Especially if you are using massive quanitites of caffeine. That can irritate your heart and cause palpitations, dysrhymias and possibly a heart attack. You would be better off to try to take a few short cat naps during the slow spots in the activity. keep yourself very well hydrated with lots of water to decrease the negative effects of the caffeine. Also, make sure you are eating so your blood sugar level wont crash on you. I once stayed up for 4 days straight, but felt terrible by the end of it and crashed out hard later. I did not do it on purpose, it was due to some bad circumstances. good luck.

Yes, but be careful with your caffeine intake! Too much will work against you, as you will crash.
Take B100 vitamins. Or other natural stimulants that you can get at a local health food store. I know caffeine is said to be "natural" but it will wreak havoc on your body if you take in too much all at once.

it's very possible although that's when you really start go get loopy. there are no permanent effects from being deprived of sleep for that amount of time. you can't die from insomnia or from intentionally staying up that long.
when in the military performing spec ops we stayed up for 2-3 days straight all the time.

3 days straight!
yes it is possible to go sleepless for 3 days.
however, it is also possible that you may die.
It is said that a person can only last for up to 10 days without sleep.
However, not all people are the same. ok
I actually heard a story from Korea, that there is a man who played computer games for like 2-3days straight, then when he slept, he never woke up. +_+

I believe it is possible, but I would not recommend it! A person who ignores sleep for that long of a period may begin to suffer from hallucinations, and/or become delirious. It is possible they may even faint.

Yes its possible. Soldiers go a week without sleep during bootcamp. Of course they have doctors who check them every few hours. So if you can avoid it please do .
