Impacts of long term sleep deprivation?

Question: Years ago, I read of experiments where mice or other experimental animals were keep up for many days (more than 5, I think) and died because of it. I have also read of experiments were human subjects were kept up for 3 or 4 days and began to suffer serious halucinations.

Can anyone confirm either of these?
