What happens if we don't get enough sleep? can you die without sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes!: Being tired all the time may indicated sleep problems that can be life shortening or life threatening. Not getting enough sleep puts tremedous stress on all your major organs, particularly the brain and heart. The only way to know if there are serious problems is with an overnight sleep test. I encourage you to seek help.
