Christopher asked the Naked Scientists:
   
Can there be any benefit of me going 2 straight days without sleep. If I was
doing research for a paper due for example.  If I at the 2nd night went to sleep at normal hour and woke the next day without issues to carry on with the week without a hitch, well could I have increased my brain and or bodies overall capacity in some way.

Excellent show. I listen to several podcasts each week.  Have learned plenty thanks to all who have been a part of the programme.
What do you think?

[JnA]

No.



But I suggest you try the experiment... and let me know after what day did the 'head voices' start (mine was day four)

I guess you could do it to save money on recreational drugs.

You don't forget stuff more easily?

LOL..Yeah it makes you nuts with a cherry on top!

You forget them completely and even if you remember you can't tell weather they were real or not...
