Answers:
I have gone around 168 hours without sleep (a week)!. To my knowledge you cannot have a seizure from it, but it can cause temporary psychosis and hallucinations!. In the longest period I didn't sleep for I experienced none of this, but I have before after no sleep for just 3 days!. The only reason I can think that you might have a seizure is because your muscles would be cramped from no rest and they could spasm violently!. But I really doubt it has happened to many people, and it can't really be defined as a seizure, since seizures are a result of abnormal neuronal activity!. (the electricity in your brain screws up)!. So it seems hardly possible to have a seizure, or even major muscle spasms from sleep deprivation!. I used to always be awake for days on end and never experienced anything bad except headaches!. Sleep deprivation is also not ever life threatening, just so you know!. So yeah I reckon you'll be alright if you stay awake for long periods!. Good Luck
Edit: I meant to say seizures one time not spasms!. And hmm the longest time I've slept is around 20 hours!. Had the biggest headache when I woke up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You would have a psychotic episode staying awake that long!.

I gave birth to my son at 2!.00pm on a Sunday and had not slept the Saturday night before because I was in labour!. So I was awake about 40 hours straight before I got to sleep for 4 hours!.

Were you on amphetamines when you stayed awake for 6 days!?

I have nursed people who were amphetamine addicts and they did many crazy demeaning things to themselves!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
