Disclamer: I haven’t slept in over a day and idk if what I write makes any sense, I will adjust it after I wake up. Sometimes I do dumb stuff and end up not sleeping, other times there simply isn’t time to sleep/rest as needed(assignments and lack of planning ahead). Any advice on how to stay awake for longer periods of time(preferably functional/not in a zombie state, I’m looking for 1 and half day of not sleeping max) and your favourite way of recovering from these sleepless stretches of time(other than sleeping of course).
Have to echo a lot of folks here, OP. Do this every rare once in a while, and someone will probably be okay. Do this all the time as a habit or regular thing, and not so much.
The health impacts of regularly not allowing your body its normal allotment of sleep are known and dangerous. Would not recommend.
