What happens if you get zero sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely.: We need to sleep to remove toxins that our body accumulates during the day so that we can recharge for the next day. It is not possible to survive without sleep. We can go without food for days but we need water and sleep to survive. It is believed that we need 7 to 8 hours daily to function normally.
