Is it normal to stay awake for 72 hours?

I have irregular and almost non-existing sleeping patterns. In periods of time(can be weeks or months) it gets really bad. I stay awake 24-72 hours even when I take my sleeping pills( I have 3 different ones depending on situations).

    when i was an athlete , missing a workout lead to all night insomnia. Those pills will kill you, not sleeping will kill you . change jobs to a job that requires heavy labor. you sleep like a baby every night.

    Maybe go back to the doctor? Try to establish a schedule perhaps?

    well while it is not healthy to stay awake up that many hours, it is common that many people stay awake for 3-4 days, if they are stressed, have sleep problems, or just don't have enough time.
