Answers:
I can tell you from experience!.

Day 1 without sleep: Extreme fatigue, poor coordination, and low focus!.

Day 2: Fatigue Worsens, focus is almost nonexistant!. Frequent hunger!. Hot and cold flashes add to the misery!.

Day 3: Fatigue is replaced by a nervous, almost manic energy!. You feel that you can focus, but in reality cannot!. Hunger worsens!.

Day 4: Fatigue returns!. Your body will feel like it is breaking down!. I am no stranger to severe injury, but can honestly say, this is the closest I have ever felt to death!. You can actually feel your body dying!. That may not be the case, but I have no other word to describe the feeling!. Most of your time spent in a disassociative fugue!. Even without sleeping, you will begin to lose track of large segments of time!.

Day 5: This is when the hallucinations start!. large blocks of time gone missing, you'll go through entire classes at school, then look up, and realize you are in your room, and the classes never happened!. Talk to people, freinds and family for hours, make plans, then look up, and its 10 minutes later in your room!. I hear scratching on the walls, but no matter how fast I turn my head, the scratching will always be 90 degrees off center, just out of my sight!. I hear gentle, and sometimes not so gentle knocking at my door, to open it and find no one there!. Tapping at the window when you are not looking at it!.

Day 5!.5) about 12 hours into Day 5, the visual hallucinations begin!. You will look at something, and small shadows will suddenly dart out of your peripheral vision!. If you try to visually follow them, you can't, they're gone, but more will dart the other way out of the corner of the opposite eye!. Sometimes, the room will suddenly darken, or slide out of focus!. (Interestingly, the shadows running in the corners of your eyes do not)!.

Day 6: Things start to get really weird, but I'd rather not discuss it!.

Sleep deprivation can be fatal, but it usually takes more than one week!. I have heard estimates from 10 days to 3 months!. Studies have proven that it can kill though!. I do not recommend trying it, as any sleep loss is very bad for your health!. This is what I experienced, hope it helped!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

your body will shut down, because you need that sleep to rest your body and brain!.

you can still function but not 100% !.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i have insomia and if you stay up to long you can start to halusinate and see things that are not there its not healthy at all !.so i would go to the doctor and get some kind of sleeping meds and take them ever other day so you dont get dependent on themWww@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, It is fatal!.

If you go without sleep for a long period of time like 1-2 weeks you will go, quite literally, insane!.

Also, if you do not sleep for this long it attributes to insomnia later in life (unless you do have insomnia and you're not doing this on purpose)!.

Eventually you would die of extreme exhaustion!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The sleep deprived person may start to experience apathy, slowed speech and flattened emotional responses, impaired memory and an inability to be novel or multitask!. As a person gets to the point of falling asleep, he or she will fall into micro sleeps(5-10 seconds) that cause lapses in attention, nod off while doing an activity like driving or reading and then finally experience hypnagogic hallucinations, the beginning of REM sleepWww@Answer-Health@Com
