Wake up ! are you late again ? sometime we wish we never had to deal with this morning struggle...
But, what if you just never went to bed ?
What if you figured out how to keep yourself awake forever ?
How long cloud you last ?
How often have you needed just a few more hours to finish a project, get ready for date or enjoy your day off ? if you took sleep out of your daily routine, you'd have all 24 hours of the day to do everything you never had time for. what's a few yawns and some minor tiredness if it meant you never had to waste any more time lying on bad for no good reason ? turns out, there are plenty of good reasons to sleep. the average person spends one third of their life lying on bed, eyes shut, snoring away. sounds like a waste of valuable time. But not for your body.While you sleep, your body release hormones and repairs tissue, replacing your old cells with new one. if you worked out that day, you need a good sleep to let your muscles grow and your fat burn.

so what happens if you don't sleep ? not much first after just 24 hours you'd feel completely fine. In fact, you fell better than '' fine ''. That's because sleeplessness stimulates the mesolimbic pathway in your brain. This pathway would release dopamine and you'd feel happy and full of energy. But don't be fooled by all that happiness - it's not going to last long. soon after reaching the 24-hours mark, all your reactions would slow down. Your brain would start to forget what you were doing. Outwardly, you'd appear to be drunk.
Wait, where were we ? Right, now what about two days without sleep? At that point your body would start shutting down. It would stop metabolizing glucose properly, leaving you with no energy supply. You'd start looking very pale-like a character from the middle ages. Your eyes would turn red, and then more bad news your wrinkle would become more visible.
On day three, that's when the real fun begins. starved of REM sleep, your brain would bring all your dreams...... and nightmare to life. At around the 72 hours mark you'd start breaking down your own protein. Your muscles so say goodbye to all that muscle mass you worked so hard to build up. Your body would keep using up all the energy sources it could find. Glucose leftovers than muscle, fat, tissue and after two weeks your immune system would be so weak, you could die from the common flue. Eventually, three weeks after your last sleep you'd probably die of a heart attack. If you've got a little extra muscle or fat on your body, you could stay alive just a little bit longer. But i don't recommend that anyone try this at home anyway. So grab yourself a pillow, and take a siesta. If it seems like you're always tired, make sure you're getting the prescribed 6-8 hours of sleep per night. if you have any idea want share comment below.
