do we need to sleep?

can human go on without sleep?
-
it depends on what you define as sleep, if you define sleep as closing your eyes, then yes, because there are people who can sleep with their eyes open but are physically and mentally sleeping, if your talking about every single part of your body shutting down then no, everyone needs rest =), only species i know that does not sleep but rests is the fishhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh family. Sharks have to continue swimming as well or else they will have a lack of oxygen and die.

so can we go on with rest but without sleeping?
-
can but u must understand that ur body needs to rest somehow totally along the way and a slumber is in this case, essential. ur body has a certain limit to how long you can stay conscious with a functional brain and you may be feeling very sensitive and depressed if you persist on not sleeping.
rests can only sooth ur brain and senses to some extent, you still need to sleep somehow.
but if challenged by some unique cases and situations... one can go on for five days without sleep to finish his work.

Hmm so what will happen if one force himself to not fall asleep for days? Like a week or 2? What will be the effects?
-
yes.

i read b4 after 1 week of not sleeping u will have hallucinations..
scary
-
yes. you will have hallucinations, you will feel very annoyed and irritated etc. i have not slept for 1 week before and i tell you its not a very nice feeling

-
you will become unstable, just like gaara..going around killing people.Scary.
-
Wow... Sounds rather cool.. Lol.. Might go try without sleep for 3 or 4 days after my O's... Lol
-
think will become very ugly also...
-
trust me, dont try to do that, i would never want to do that again, going without sleep for one day is equal to one week of proper rest before u make up for that one day. it is also very unhealthy, imagine not turning off ur comp once in awhile
-
i think it's possible...
i remember i saw an article of a man who has not sleep for years, dunno how he tahan
anyway, i also read an article saying there's one survive without drinking water. though out of point, but nothing is impossible ba i guess -
yes we can when we achieve the state where by we do not need to sleep it is when human evolves n become panda
-
my max record is only 2 days without sleep

something like caffine or steriod i dunno wat lah...
i had tried 3-4 days without sleep. and everytime when i feel sleepy, i tahan tahan until suddenly i feel very awake. but finally doze off in my friend car. hahahahaha.
so i was wondering if it is possible to not sleep at all lor. -
Just ask those people who joined the Subaru Impreza Challenge....

it is impossible to not sleep for more than 9 days for average people. the brain needs to reboot. and sharks do sleep my dear whoever it is who said they need to stay awake to keep swimming to get oxygen. when they are sleeping, they are capable of opening and closing the mouth (like a goldfish) to bring in water currents. if not how those rays live?? they are always not moving at the sea bed wad...
i can only go without sleep for 60 hours max. after that, i totally konk out. become unconscious, got volcano erupt outside my house i also wun know...
