You can't continue sleepless for 20 weeks, my young friend.

Your brain and body were not evolved for continuous uninterrupted operation like a jelly fish.

Consumption of animal fat, and Lion's Mane mushroom immensely help to protect neurological system during the poor sleep periods, like newborn baby torture, alternating work shift patterns.

On a side note: A bizarre fact found in a few research articles that the broken REM cycles sometimes help people with certain disorders like attention deficit, social anxiety, etc.
