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.
