I plan to deprive myself of sleep for 5 days straight

It's sort of an experiment for me. I wish to see where will it lead me. I shan't be using any stimulants to aid me in this beside, perhaps, some caffeine or ephedrine. I hope writing a list of things I could do whilst staying awake, as I'm pretty sure I'll get bored sooner or later.

    That is really not healthy for your body and can actually make u quite sick. You may also find that when u want to sleep u can't, it's called sleep deprivation and it's a horrible horrible feeling! I'd suggest talking to a doctor first but if your going to do it anyway, research a bit on the net 1st. 5 days is a long time without sleep or nasty drugs to help

    if you want to hallucinate then take drugs...sleep deprivation is very bad for you, obviously too much can kill you but that is unlikely. you may however develop temporary psychosis, which will suck and be terrifying.

    also you know that shitty feeling you get when you dont sleep properly? the longer you stay awake, the worse it gets, exponentially worse! I stayed up only for like 50 hours once and it was HORRIBLE.

    tldr:dont do it son. how is that game going to help your p-putting?

    No you cannot go that long without sleep your body will eventually shut down and sleep for a long time plus it's also not healthy just don't for the sake of your health

    Blade um if you dont sleep for a certain period of time your brain starts taking what we call micro naps and if gone for to long you could slip into a coma and die.... sorry it's just not a good idea.

    Dude, you'll be fine don't listen to them, yeah you'll be tired, you'll start to hallucinate but you'll be FINE. If your body needs to sleep it will shut off and you will wake up when you have enough energy to do so. You can stay awake for 3 days and it will do no damage to you, it will also mess up your sleeping schedule, but you'll be fine, all this "you will die" stuff is complete and utter bullshit. Still pretty stupid of you to go for five days, sleep deprivation was used as a torturing tool back in the days for a reason.
