How many hours awake in a row is too many?

Question

Just once in awhile... not repetivly.

Well im thinking, just like 48 hours. If you do it once, will it negitivly effect you after you sleep it off?

Answer 1

My husband has stayed awake for 48 hours while in Iraq, but the military requirements are atleast 4 hours of sleep a day (not necessarily consecutive hours). How many hours are we talking here ?

Edited to say:

I don't think so. My husband does it all the time in the Army. It hasn't negatively affected him yet . He sleeps like a rock now that he is home and has returned to a regular sleeping schedule.
