Sometimes I wonder if I just can't get sleep 1 night then I will feel like crap the next day. I take the train so I'm worried if I didn't have sleep the night before I might fall on the train tracks and get run over by a train. I heard if you are sleep deprived it is impossible to prevent yourself from falling asleep and that can happen at inappropriate times and places. Or if I just can't sleep for days then I will probably die from sleep deprivation. Even before you die I heard there's lots of symptoms like hallucinations and seizures and depression so it will be a painful death

    To actually die from lack of sleep you need to be awake for many days or even weeks at a time. Missing one or two nights of sleep won't kill you in itself.

    As far as passing out and falling onto the tracks, you would have to be EXTREMELY sleep deprived for you not to be able to stop this from happening to yourself. But maybe the easy solution is to not stand so close to the tracks until the train arrives...?

    Driving or operating heavy machinery while you are sleep deprived can be plenty dangerous though and you should try to avoid doing that.

    if you miss one night of sleep it does not mean that you will collapse, your body is not so low, but it is certain that if you do not sleep for several days you will feel extremely tired and decentralized. don't dramatize things too because you will eventually cause damage just because of your mental state, try to relax and not think too much, you can not really die from sleep deprivation.But if you suffer from terrible insomnia, so in this case it's best to consult a doctor
