i think it is pretty bad for you health to be awake for days on end. it really harms your body. i have insomnia (but i am on sleeping pills) but i also have fibromyalgia which can be a cause of insomnia. you should go see a doctor.

i was recommended to try some sleeping pills. but after reading about a lot of potential side effects, i stayed away from it.. thanks for the advise :)
