The guys in the armed forces do this all the time.

Keep eating and compensate all the coffee you might be drinking with plenty of water.

Hold in there buddy :-)

You lose focus and have trouble doing anything. Get some sleep if you can or else health problems or death are likely.

Get back a normal rhythm by taking melatonine 3 mg before going to sleep.

If you go for a certain amount of time without sleep it is fatal. I heard 4 days??
Seriously... GO TO SLEEP.
Your body needs it to keep your brain working and to keep your body active and awake.

Yes you became faster old !
Go to bed !

The body needs sleep to rest and rejuvinate itself. You will start suffering hallucinations as well.

You NEED to get some sleep. Yes what your boss is doing is HIGHLY illegal and he can pay some hefty fines to the federal government. You are basically a slave right now. Screw the company and go home to get some sleep and rest.

take a nap man, sleeping is neccesary for your brain and nervous system to work. may serious things can happen if you don't let your brain rest a little bit, i wouldn't risk it!

wow you wont die, but you're going to start hallucinating soon. drink plenty of water. i think you will just fall asleep in your chair & I would suggest taking a cab or getting a ride home because driving will be very dangerous. you should not operate any machinery or make any calculations for administering medications. good luck &
WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Id think youd get too tired.you could call your boss and tell him that you dont feel good and you havent slept in a long time.

Lack of sleep is fatal. You need it when your body is telling you to do it. Shut the business down and walk away. You are not getting payed enough to stay their for so long and risk physical and mental health.

Get a healthy sleep or fine rest. :). If you don't your work become 'disastour'..... I meant bad reputation to your job and it will end with your boss will fired you...... :). So, get quiet, res and sleep. Ok? :).

Besides the obvious of simply sleeping so you can actually enjoy the fruits of your labor instead of dying early, something interesting you might want to look into is hypnosis. I have heard that two minutes of relaxation hypnosis is the equivalent of two hours of sleep. Have someone help you clear your mind every 3 hours or whenever you feel too overloaded. It usually takes someone else's counselling to convince you to relax. Take naps- tell someone to wake you up after 45 minutes, but also put your own cell phone timer on as well, and on loud. That way, you are assured that you can get rest and still not worry about waking up too late to do work. Nap time is happy time- the buzzer will tell you when you have to get going again. Be assured by the fact that as long as you plan naps reasonably, you can still get everything done.

10 days without sleep kills someone.

put a cuhion on the floor and get some sleep - otherwise you will become very ill

First of all I'm sure your boss will not please to hear this. I have worked for 2 days straight before but 3 days? You are really something. I guess when we did something abnormal there must be a site effect to our health. Our body and our mind need rest so that we can do our work more efficient and think wisely too. You shouldn't over work yourself. Just like a car, If you drive 3 days non-stop the engine will become over heated and in some cases the engine got "jammed". Same goes with our body. I'm not so sure about the effect in medical terms and shouldn't let you worried about the possibilities. You should stop and take a good rest or sleep.Try not to do this anymore. Take care.
