Q: Sleep pattern
asked by: OVERTONE00 on May 31st, 2008

Im not sure where else to put this other than here,

i have recently switched from a 12 hours day of being awake to a 36 hour. it happened by accident becasue it happened 3 nights in a row which i could not resist or i would have lost my job or friends. (rough week) but now i cant seem to switch back. what effect will this have on my health if i keep doing this. i dont feel as weak as i thought i would. muscles are a bit limp at times but other than that my mind seems mellow and Im fine otherwise.

is their any side effects or risks to this in fact? lifespan? heart problems? anything i should know?

your body needs at least 8 hours of sleep every night in order to regenerate..this isn't a healthy pattern...you're going to wear yourself out eventually from lack of sleep

Doing this just 3 times shouldn't cause any permanent damage. Don't worry about it, just don't make it a habit.

Maybe you don't feel much difference the first three times, but it adds up. Last semester in college, I pulled about 2 all nighters (staying up for 48 hours to some cases of even 70) on average a week. That, caused a lot of damage to my body and mind.

Don't be worried about the amount that you did, just switch back to regular sleeping patterns, and eat well.
