        i once couldn't sleep more than two hours a night for about three weeks. i played it smart during that period and took cabs or stayed home to make sure i didn't kill myself or someone else from having my reflexes impaired by exhaustion.

        if you're really concerned, you could either get a sleeping pill from your doctor or try an otc sleeping pill.

                  for a period of 5 months, all i was getting was an average of 3 hours sleep a night. this should pass so i wouldn't worry about it too much. the more you worry, the less sleep you will get. stress does that to a person.

                      yes, there have been people that eventually couldnt sleep at all and do die from it.

                      yes, its not just "insomnia" but a form of it and it does occur.

                      there was a music conductor who had it, and at some time in his life - his sleep completely stopped.

                      and i am not sure how long he lived but he did die from it.

                      without sleep you die.

                      i have slept 5 hour nights for over a decade now.

                      the past 2 months ive been sleeping at midnight and up at 5 am.

                        "how long can humans stay awake"

                        Another rare disorder, Fatal Familial Insomnia (FFI), is an autosomal dominate disease that is invariably fatal after about six to 30 months without sleep. FFI is probably misnamed because death results from multiple organ failure rather than sleep deprivation.

                        you dont die from insomnia, after a few months your body starts to shut down

                            as long as you get some sleep.. short term it won't kill ya

                            but in long run.. your body will eventually give out on ya

                            see a doc for something when ya can

                                I only get about 3 or 4 hours a nite at BEST. This has been going on for a couple years.

                                Am I dying,, yes, I think so.
