[QUOTE="Oracular Vision, post: 144265, member: 2265"] Yes, fatigue, then exhaustion. PC's hate fatigue so they rarely go past that (except for a barbarian, who could be fatigued from raging, then be exhausted from lack of sleep, then unconscious from even more lack of sleep). On a personal note, I was stayed awake for five days in a row (I don't recommend it) to get a huge workload of school and other things done, which I did, but the secret I learned was that you could stay awake pretty easy as long as you don't sit down. Sitting down after three days is almost impossible, you will start to fade out and fall asleep. You also start to halucinate after about two days, little things like the walls moving out in the peripheral areas of your vision. Drinking lots of coke and coffee will help keep you on task. After five days, I crashed and fell asleep (I didn't make it home, I fell asleep on a table at work). From other studies I read, sleep removes toxins from your system, and these are what cause the hallucinations if you don't sleep. The worst thing is the that REM sleep, where you are dreaming, is used by the brain to sort short-term memories (Things you did that day) into long-term memories (things you remember doing in the past). By giving people just a little shock whenever they went into REM sleep, they could not remember simple things from the previous day (they gave both them and the control group a list of things to memorize, then tested them the next day). So, I guess I don't really remember what happened those five days :) [/QUOTE]
