am i going to be ok?

Question

i was wondering im going to stay up all night for one week stright what will happen if i do this?

Answer 1

you will lose concentration on everything around you and you will be very sick...dont do it

Answer 2

Severe exhaustion...do not attempt to drive or operate any type of machinery or equipment that could harm you or others...your body may not let you stay up that long...when it gets tired enough, it tends ot shut down on its own (whether you desire it or not).

I found this online:
"Randy Gardner

“To gain an entry into the Guinness Book of World Records, he remained
awake for 264 hours (11 days).

Gardner's symptoms:

“Day 2: Difficulty focusing eyes and signs of astereognosis
(difficulty recognizing objects only by touch).

Day 3: Moodiness, some signs of ataxia (inability to repeat simple
tongue twisters).

Day 4: Irritability and uncooperative attitude, memory lapses and
difficulty concentrating. Gardner's first hallucination was that a
street sign was a person, followed by a delusional episode in which he
imagined that he was a famous black football player.

Day 5: More hallucinations (e.g., seeing a path extending from the
room in front of him down through a quiet forest). These were
sometimes described as "hypnagogic reveries" since Gardner recognized,
at least after a short while, that the visions were illusionary in
nature.

Day 6: Speech slowing and difficulty naming common objects.

Day 7 and 8: Irritability, speech slurring and increased memory lapses.

Day 9: Episodes of fragmented thinking; frequently beginning, but not
finishing, his sentences.

Day 10: Paranoia focused on a radio show host who Gardner felt was
trying to make him appear foolish because he ws having difficulty
remembering some details about his vigil.

Day 11: Expressionless appearance, speech slurred and without
intonation; had to be encouraged to talk to get him to respond at all.
His attention span was very short and his mental abilities were
diminished. In a serial sevens test, where the respondent starts with
the number 100 and proceeds downward by subtracting seven each time,
Gardner got back to 65 (only five subtractions) and then stopped. When
asked why he had stopped he claimed that he couldn't remember what he
was supposed to be doing.”"

Answer 3

You will get very weak and tired. You might start hallucinating - seeing and hearing things. You'll get clumsy and bump into things. You might start feeling like your going crazy. You'll be at a much increased risk for accidents.

Your body needs sleep to heal itself. You mind needs sleep to function. It's not a nice feeling to be over-tired. I hope you're not serious about doing that.

“. . . 17-year-old San Diego student named Randy Gardner had in mind when, in 1964, he stayed awake for 264 hours (11 days), a record that
won him a place in The Guinness Book of Records. After staving off sleep for a few days with cold showers and loud music, he could no
longer focus his eyes and had to give up TV. His speech slurred, and he fell into a silent stupor. Sleep experts now believe that long sleepless stints like Randy's can be dangerous. An experiment conducted at the University of Chicago in 1983 showed that rats died when kept from sleeping for two and a half weeks.”

Answer 4

umm you will be tired, will not be able to focus on anything else then sleeping, will not be able to move much, your appitite will increase, you might gain a bit of weight, if you are in school your grades will lower and you will get cranky easly and thats about it. Dont do it sleep is good for you , you should have at least 8 hours a day or you'll feel horrible in the morning.

Answer 5

That is probably not a smart thing do. Are you going to be sleeping at during the day? If you decide to stay up with no sleep you are asking for sleep deprivation, which is not fun. If you don't know anything bout it trying looking at the following site
http://www.sleep-deprivation.com/index.php3 Please think hard and long before you stay up that long without sleep.

Answer 6

do not do it, first of all it is impossible you will be doing micro-sleeping, meaning you will sleep a few minutes here and there. You can go crazy (seriously), you will be extremley grumpy, your will not be able to focus you will hallucinate and maybe start hearing voices, you can gain weight (will raise cortisone levels due to stress thus causing weight gain) you will be a hazard on the road and put many innocent lives at risk. DON'T DO IT !!!!!!!

Answer 7

If you are able to stay awake for such a long period of time, you will die. Our bodies are programmed to maintain what is called homeostasis, which means that all of our organs and other functions are working normally and efficiently. Our bodies use sleep to restore and repair and achieve and/or maintain homeostasis. You will die if you don't sleep. However, since our bodies are programmed to maintain homeostasis, you will probably pass out and become unconscious before death while your body attempts to save you.

Answer 8

you know mayb you could take little naps in between or try to stay up 3 or four days first then if you think you can do it for a week then give it a shot but make sure to quit when your body needs too! we dont want you to die!

Answer 9

I think it will depend on what you eat and/or drink while you are awake. Also, if you use some kind of stimulants (No-Doz, etc.) while trying to stay awake.

Answer 10

working thru the night? then sleep well in the day. try to make your room dimmer for your sleep in the day,

Answer 11

You will be very tired and get extremely mentally confused.
