What are the effects of staying awake for long periods of time?
1) Dear Alice,
What are the long-term effects of sleep deprivation?
2) Dear Alice,
Me and a few friends are planning on doing a fundraiser where we
stay awake for five days straight. At first it was a great idea,
but I started thinking about if there might be some serious
damage to our bodies for staying awake that long. Will there be
any long-term or short-term damage for staying awake for five
days? If so, is it safer to stay awake for three or four days?
And how long can the body really go without sleep?
Dear Readers,
Both of you are asking valuable questions on the impacts of sleep
deprivation. There’s a plethora of negative effects associated
with sleep deprivation, both in the short and long term.
