I just read a few of the postings in this thread, but it's not good to be going this long without sleep. Sleep is the time when your whole body slows down and the repair and rejuvenation work takes place. There's a reason for sleep.
I went 42 hours once without sleep, and I was FREAKING!!! I came off a med cold-turkey, and that was one of the reactions I had. And being sleepy always makes me more anxious. But I was wide awake and just praying my little heart out to PLEASE let me at least get a couple hours of sleep!
As for No Doz (caffeine pills, right?). You can get more caffeine from coffee or those energy drinks (like the one in the commercial that gives you wings. LOL. Bull, is it? I don't know!!!). But you don't want to be taking caffeine if you're not sleeping. Just give your body a chance to slow down and repair itself, THEN you can take a No Doz during the day when your brain is functioning on some rest.
God bless,
Sandy
