How long can u go without sleep?

Question

I'm preparing for my exams and have been pulling a lot of all-nighters lately. Sometimes I feel really spaced out. Just wondering generally, how long can someone go without sleeping before it becomes a serious issue?

I totally get it, sometimes life gets so busy or stressful that you just can't sleep. But please try not to go more than 24 hours without rest, as it really starts affecting your mental peace and body. Take care and try to close your eyes even for a bit.

During my kids' exams or when they were babies, I stayed awake for almost 3 days straight with just tiny naps. It makes you so irritable and weak. Please don't do this to your health, try to get at least 4 hours of continuous sleep if possible.

Actually yaar, after just 36 hours of no sleep, you start feeling super trippy and nauseous. I did it once during a college trip and it took me three days to recover properly. Sleep is super important, don't skip it.

A human body can pull through for 2-3 days in emergencies, but why do that to yourself? 😴 Your bed is waiting, so please keep the phone away and get a good night's rest! Sleep makes everything better.

As an IT guy on release weeks, I have pulled a continuous 40 hours without sleep. Honestly, by the end of it, I was talking to my laptop and forgot my own password. Your body can survive it, but your brain will absolutely quit on you.

You can survive a few days without sleep, but your focus and energy will crash completely after 24 hours. Don't push it.
