You actually die quicker from sleep deprevation than you do from not eating.

Link? Source? I didn't think you could die from lack of sleep.

Unless you try to drive, that is. 😀

You last about 10 days.

the longest I have been without sleep was last year. It was around 62 hours. I was at the hospital 90% of that time with my Mom who had heart surgery.

Don't you remember that simpson's epidsode where Homer drove while sleeping, it's perfectly fine. Your car turns into a bed and then you end up against a tree 😀.

After about 70 hours, the spiders come. Then it gets worse from there. I've had some pretty serious hallucinations from no sleep. After about 4 or 5 days, it's tough to even tell if you're dreaming or awake.

A while back I went without sleep for 3 nights in a row. I wasn't exactly seeing things but I wasn't quite sane.
On the day after the third night I ran into a friend. I later heard that she thought I was on drugs because I was talking complete incoherant nonsense to her. I also didn't remember running into her. (a mutual friend told me he had talked to her and she told him about it)

Very true. A constant sleepwalk. Staying at home, while avoiding anything that requires thinking(cooking, working out, drawing yourself a bath, etc,) is the only way to keep safe till the insomnia passes. Your not sure what you're doing, until someone stops & yells right into your face.

cripes. after that level of sleep deprivation i get cataplexy http://www.narcolepsy.org.uk/narcolepsy/cataplexy/attacks/show_page
when i get up from sitting down for a while, sometimes it feels like i'm walking in slow motion. goddamned legs just won't move as fast as i want, feels really really disturbing. goes away in minutes.

Why haven't you slept?

ok, I don't know... but staying awake 2 nights in a row sounds fishy to me. IMO, after 35+ hours, you're not capable of doing ANYTHING. I remember, we had this x-mas party at our company and I didn't go to bed that night, started to work again at about 8am and I fell asleep around 11am in front of my computer for about 3mins.

My record would be more than 24 hours... but I am older now, I don't think I could resist so long
