What if we didn't sleep for 7 days? Question answered

What if you stopped sleeping for a week? Sleep, what a good word, how relaxing, isn't it? It's relaxing as people spend half of their life sleeping. Children sleep for almost a day where as man and women of any age require almost 7/89 hours of sleep. So, is sleeping really important or human are just sleeping for fun? No, they aren't. Actually, resting for a human body is required unlike a machine. It's pretty fundamental as the Sun is for the Earth. Well, people get questioned or think in their leisure time that they have added 8 to 10 hours of time in a day for their work if they didn't have to sleep. Then we thought of writing a article on this. 

So, what if we didn't sleep for a week? or, What if we worked for a week, let's start the discussion...

A day without sleep...

So, let's start by promising that you will read the whole article (Don't worry, it's quite good). Well, let's start by discussing what happens when we don't sleep for a day? If you didn't sleep for a day then you will be quite happy that usual. Yeah, did it sound weird? But, it's the truth.Any that could have triggered you the other day, could make you laugh hard if you hadn't slept for a day. So, your friends might find you different. You could also start feeling weird things and it may affect you sexually. However good you may have the first day without sleeping, the evening won't be too good. You could be forgetting things, feeling lazy and sleepy or even slept in the day (While this isn't what we're talking about). You may turn incidents extremely dangerous as your brain will not function normally.

Two days without sleep...

SO, what would happen to you are two days without sleep? Though many of you wouldn't be able to do this as you could have slept even early the day before. After two days deprived of sleep,  some of your body's physical function may shutdown and you would look pale and unfit as your body's ability to generate energy from glucose would be lost and you will be energy free. Also another effect would be your immune system not functioning properly. So, you will be vulnerable to flue and cold. Also you may catch them. Some kinds of rash would start to appear, your speech may be slurred as if you are drunk. So, your mom would know something is wrong with you.

Three days without sleep...

Now, on the third day, the fun of not sleeping would be seen. You may start hallucinations and play with it the whole they, for some, this may come earlier. Weird things starts to happen, you will start listening audios or visualize unusual think that's not around you. Now, your body would start REM sleeping ( a stet of sleep in which brain is always active and body is in the state of sleep, the state where you'll see dreams.). You will now start day dreaming, and after a certain time the situation will get worse and worse. Now your body would try to shut down and start  dys-functioning much.

Fun fact: The maximum number of days without sleep (ever recorded) is 11 days, i.e; 264 hours.

Forth day and further (at once)...

Every sorts of problems like; cognitive impairments, irritability, delusions, psychosis, etc. starts to occur. You may start feeling irritations and frustration, you won't be feeling to work and, why don't you sleep then? It will be difficult for you to stay awake. You will experience a period of light sleep (for people who didn't sleep for 4-7 days) for around 30 second or you may completely sleep and, hey, you will be completely fine after 12 hours of continuous sleep after such bizarre experiment too. But, we don't recommend you trying any experiments with your sleep. Sleep is vital as water for your body. Never try to interfere in the sleeping periods, and always sleep for 7 to 8 hours a day, with the starting time and waking time remains same. Now, you may start altering your perception, illusions may start occurring. It will be difficult in staying alert, you may find yourself risking your body against injuries and accidents. Drowsiness, unstable mood and anxiety are other results of being derived of sleeping. You may also get a stroke or any other illness if you don't sleep after this interval of days. But, it's confirmed that you will sleep after that much day of actively waking up.

So, let's end our article here, but before going, read our suggestion and a daily sleep recommendation for the age groups:
