Archie Gates wrote: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsleep I know what microsleep is. Yet, even that is not needed. A human being can last 48 hours without sleeping, without facing bad consequences. On average, of course, that doesn#t go for everyone. When I didn't sleep last time for 36 hours, I did not have microsleep, I am very sure of that. Mainly because I would have fallen over then. I spent most of the time walking my room up and down, revising stuff like hypothalamo-hypophyseo-adrenocortical system...so, no, no microsleep for me. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Most recently, I went 36 hours without sleep while at Disney world. There was no moment when I felt tired, so no microsleep. Other times perhaps there was microsleep, but I can definitely do 36+ hours without even feeling tired.

It started ealier than that obviously. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!
