      It’s extremely bad for you, but might not actually be lethal. Someone stayed “awake” for 11 days, although it messed them up a lot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqONk48l5vY

      Even if you survive, it makes it much more likely that you will cause an accident and could cause health problems later in life.
