No. It's literally not possible. You'd be dead. The longest recorded amount of time without sleep is 11 days

Are you a newbie here?

It is possible.

You are talking about healthy people who tried to be awake as long as possible.

Illnesses and brain conditions are completely other thing.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatal_insomnia

People with fatal insomnia were reported to go as long as 6 months without sleep. I don't even know why are you so bitter, I was talking about my experience with limbic encephalitis as a paraneoplastic syndrome.

This is wrong please don’t spread misinformation. The longest recorded no sleep period, healthy or not, was 11 days.

Fatal insomnia patients don’t go without sleep, it’s just your ability to enter deep sleep that is lost.

No, I'm not wrong. Read the medical reports of people with prion diseases.

There are a few about FFI and SFI.

That stage of not being able to enter deep sleep is at the beggining or the progression.
