What is a micro sleep?

When you stay up for a long period of time, you may experience points where you fall sleep for somewhere between a fraction of a second to 30 seconds. This is called microsleep, and you'll probably experience it at some point if you pull multiple all-nighters consecutively.


How long can you go without sleep?

The average is around 3-4 days, anyone who manages longer is either almost certainly lying, or they are likely experiencing spells of microsleep without even realising it. Certainly there are drugs such as caffeine, cocaine and amphetamines that keep you awake, but these cannot sustain you for very long. The longest in the Guinness book of world record is 11 days without sleep.

Yes, not sleeping for an extended period of time can lead to serious health problems and eventually death.

How much sleep does the average person have?

the average, working class, average business, usually gets 6-7 hours maybe less.When an average working class adult needs 9-10, that is a big decrease.May I improve above answer.A fundamental rule about people's characteristics is "everybody is different". People vary as to how much sleep they need and have throughout their life. Babies generally sleep up to 15 per 24 hours and as the person gets older the amount of time they sleep per night gets less. Older children and teenagers on average get between 8 and 12 hours and adults average 7 hours and this may reduce when they get to fifty and older.Some adults however find they need to sleep longer to stay alert and healthy and may sleep 10 to 12 hours per night in some cases right through their middle age and into old age, while others can function perfectly sleeping for half this time per night. Most although not everybody finds they need a lot less sleep in middle or old age than when they were younger. As a general rule people over sixty sleep much less at night than younger people but tend to dose off much more in the daytime, but there are exceptions to that too. At the other end of the spectrum there are some exceptional people who throughout their adult life only sleep for 3 or 4 hours on average per night and show no sign of fatigue. So as stated everybody is different.Basically everybody should try to stay in bed for as long as they feel they need to and never judge anybody else, such as by you unfairly teasing or castigating somebody else as being "lazy" because they need more time in bed each night than you know you do. Sleep deprivation from what a person needs at any age can be extremely harmful to their health and well being causing inability to concentrate and reducing their ability to perform tasks creating a dangerous tendency to drift into microsleep when performing critical tasks. But too much sleep can also be bad for you, and more than 12 hours in bed per 24 hours is probably too much and can cause depression and lethargy.
