How Long Can You Go Without Sleep? Don't Do It Please!

Sleep is something we all need, and something we’ve all complained about not getting enough of. We struggle the day after pulling an all night, but how long can we actually survive without sleeping? No one actually knows.
We decided to search for the answer. And that’s what we have found out. Here we go.
How much sleep should we be getting?
The amount of sleep everyone needs differs from person to person depending on health and age. Babies for example spend the majority of their days asleep, hence why they keep their parents up all night! But then from around school age to old age, we need between 7 and 10 hours — so you can see why it’s not the best idea to stay up till the early hours of the morning on a school night.
Why do we need to sleep? And why so much?
We need sleep to process our thoughts, to go over what’s happened in the day and sort memories like a computer would into files. Short term memories become long term memories. This is what gives us clarity, and space to take in new information when a new day dawns.
We sleep for so many hours so that our body can restore itself by repairing any damage and growing our muscles whilst we’re not using them. Got any cuts or scrapes? They’re going to take a lot longer to heal if you don’t get enough sleep. We also need sleep for survival, it’s not just a luxury, it’s a necessity.
