Question:
P.s my friend is about 20 or something around that!!
Answers:
I do not beleive it is possible to go five months without sleep even with the aid of narcotics.
The military has done much research into trying to get people to be able to go a long time without sleep.
Sleep deprivation is very common in combat.
That is why they do not allow much sleep in boot camp.
Anyway sleeps role is not fully understood, they do know however that it is very important for memory, motor function, and the body's healing itself.
If your friend goes through with this DO NOT allow them to drive a car after a couple days of sleep.
They will be more impaired then if they were drunk!
you can't not sleep for 5 mounth you will fall asleep any way so don't worry but if he made it past a week he would start to holusinate and go mad.
Which he wont btw he will fall asleep whether he likes it or not
He'll go crazy from sleep deprivation!
Before that happens though, if he forces himself to go beyond 7 days he'll be crazy but he'll fall asleep!
To attempt not to sleep for 5 months is a big fool.
First: Did he try it for a shorter period?
Second: Will he be taking pills?
Third: What does he want to prove? A world record! OK. If he had such abilities and strong determination, he would try proving something greater.
WOW they need to get a life!
Not possible.
the longest a person can go with NO sleep is 11 days (check the Guiness Book of Records).
We require sleep for the neurons in our brains to regenerate, without it we die.
Think he is pulling your leg!
