Insomnia question

Can a human being actually die from not sleeping? surely you'd get to the point where you're so exhausted from sleep deprivation you can't physically keep your eyes open and you'd probably have the best sleep ever

    Technically, it is possible to pass away from sleep deprivation. However, it is extremely rare, and I think you would probably at least lose consciousness before you passed away. I wouldn't worry about it, though; it's an incredibly unlikely occurrence.

    God bless you and stay safe.
