This is What happens to your body after 72 hours without sleep 😱
Sleep is one of the most important biological functions in the human body. Research shows that even 24 hours without sleep can affect reaction time, memory, focus, and decision making abilities.
As sleep deprivation continues, the brain begins struggling to process information correctly. After around 72 hours awake, some people may experience hallucinations, paranoia, distorted thinking, and severe mental exhaustion.
Lack of sleep can also weaken the immune system, increase stress hormones, and place additional strain on the heart and brain. Scientists consider sleep just as essential for survival as food and water.
