[quote Carnos Jax][quote M A V I C][quote davester][quote M A V I C]cbelt3, you're lucky you didn't die. It's not uncommon for people to die after 72hrs of no sleep, especially with what you were taking in.
That sounds like BS to me. Link please.
There was an article a few months back about a gamer at an internet cafe who died after ~72hrs of playing video games and taking in a lot of caffein and sugar. I googled to try and find it, but noticed there's a ton of other stuff on it.
Davester, Mavic is right. I can't pull all the relevant links right now, but, it's general medical opinion that you will die if you get absolutly no sleep (that includes no naps or 'conscious sleep'/meditation).
There's plenty of info that forced or drug-induced sleep deprivation (as was done in experiments by the Nazis) will kill you (duh!), but I saw nothing that indicated that self-induced sleep deprivation could, and I sincerely doubt that it's possible.
