Seventeen hrs of sustained wakefulness leads to a decrease in performance equivalent to a blood alcohol-level of 0.05.
Sleep deprivation prones one to cardiac problems. Your body temperature is cold.
At 40 hrs, there might be hallucinations, paranoia, blurred vision, slurred speech and memory and concentration lapses.
Tiny luminous rays from a digital alarm clock can be enough to disrupt the sleep cycle even if you do not fully wake. The light turns off a "neural switch" in the brain, causing levels of a key sleep chemical to decline within minutes.
Sleep deprivation could have detrimental effects on the body, leading to impairments in cognitive performance, as well as cardiovascular, immune and endocrine functions.

Severe and extreme visual hallucinations. Possible psychosis among other things. If this is happening to you and you cannot sleep, get help. If this is someone you know, get help for them.
