Sleep Deprivation Causes Death
Posted: 11-23-07 23:07pm

It's no mystery that this happens; what I can't find for the life of me is a TV program shown a few years ago about this. It featured a male band teacher who developed some kind of chemical imbalance in his brain that eventually make it impossible for him to sleep. He died after several months, looking like an old man - which he wasn't. I can't seem to find any info on this show! It also talked about a radio show DJ who voluntarily stayed awake for a week. He ended up with hallucinations etc, and was never quite right afterwards even after making up the lost sleep.

Did anyone watch this program?!

I'm sure it's possible. You do NEED sleep. I suppose it runs the body down.
