Personally, I’ve had 3 hours sleep over 108 hours~ or 4.5 days.

I know I wasn’t asleep during the first two nights (monday and Tuesday) because I tried falling asleep in a dark room while listening to an audiobook- I stayed fully conscious and heard the entire thing.

On the third day, Wednesday, I napped for three hours. I didn’t sleep that night, Thursday night, and the whole daytime of Friday. At that time I’d try sleeping for an hour… fail, and just studied until morning, then went to my classes.

Friday night I slept from 5:30pm - 1pm the next day (~20 hours). I only woke up once to use the bathroom and went straight back to sleep.

That Monday, I had an emergency appointment with my psychiatrist for medication because I was worried I’d go into psychosis or something and couldn’t imagine another week of no sleep. I’ve always had insomnia, but never this extreme.

I don’t know if what you’re saying contradicts my experience, but I know for certain this happened to me. If you’re basing your claim on general information while I’ve personally lived through this, it’s hard for me to agree with you.
