    Me too neither! I did it once when I was a teenager. A friend had a party on New Year's Eve ( her parents were present) and we all stayed up all night and in the morning her mom fixed us all breakfast! It was tons of fun but I was wiped out that day and slept for hours. It is a great memory though! Thank you for your reply Natasha and Happy Sunday! :)

    A human can go longer without food or water then they can go without sleep.  After about 10 days  without sleep a person dies. Cheers!

    Really Nanoose? Wow! I have read that part of being tortured is being deprived of sleep. Do you go mad? Does your heart just stop? Not that I wonder enough to try it out! Thank you for your reply and Happy Monday!   :)
