What happens when u dont sleep for long periods of time?


Question:
I dunno what is up with my boyfriend but he has been up for 36 hours straight. He does this a lot..and I would not think that it would be very good for his body. Me and him both do not eat the most healthy either so on top of not sleeping and not eating very well I am worried something bad will happen to him. He is 25 years old. He pretty much just stays up all day and nite on the internet, playing xbox, making music (he has a studio in our house) and just whatever.

Answers:
He's enjoying what he's doing. That's why he doesn't even feel tired or sleepy. I used to play different video game consoles and had a fairly large collection of great gaming titles (mostly RPGs). If my parents weren't there to supervise, I would have continued to play more than 24 hours.

I have experienced not sleeping for 4 days straight (it's true, and I'm blaming it to my evil Engineering professor). The first day is almost normal; but as the day progresses, I cannot even think straight. Simple questions become complex...

Stuffs like that happen because the brain also needs to lighten its load...it is similar to working for a long period of time without rest - you'll exhaust yourself...faint somewhere...and who knows what will happen next. Also, if you don't sleep for long periods of time (an extreme case), it results to death.
Dont jump to conclusions...but uhh... do you suspect he may be smoking crystal meth?
