What happens if i don't sleep for 8 days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely to happen: Lack of sleep causes daytime drowsiness, inattentiveness, issues with organizational skills, confusion, poor coordination, and likely risks of multiple medical co-morbidities. So not "weird" but more likely dangerous.
