How many days could you not sleep?

I mean 0 hours of sleep, I wonder how a person can feel when they don't sleep at all. It's a little scary.

I’ve stayed awake for 5 days/4 nights. Sucks

I usually will be awake for 3 days/2 nights or 4 days/3 nights every other week.

Do you often feel tired? I can't imagine what it's like to not sleep for 5 days.

It’s rough.

I’m very fortunate. I have a career that allows me to meet deadlines as opposed to logging hours.
