      it depends on what type of insomniac you are but certainly not for everyone and should not be recommended as quickly people who have to restore their natural rhythm, I would say go .but for serious insomnia certainly do not do our body is already crashing the next step after hallucinations are psychoses.on the net I can read how long a person can sleep without.you can find 11 days everywhere, but what’s that?so a study of 1 in 7 billion people has a hypothesis.

        Thanks for the post, Davy. I would have to disagree with your suggestion that sleep restriction should not be recommended for individuals with serious insomnia. Sleep restriction is evidence-based and has been proven to be an effective way to increase sleep efficiency and improve sleep. With that being said, it is only one technique that can be used to address insomnia — other techniques such as stimulus control and practicing relaxation are also helpful.

        Sleep restriction might not be recommended for individuals with mania, obstructive sleep apnea, seizure disorder, or those with careers that can make sleepiness dangerous (such as long-distance drivers or heavy machinery operators). For these individuals, medical advice should be sought prior to implementing sleep restriction.

        Finally, there is an alternative to sleep restriction that can make reducing the amount of time allotted for sleep a bit more tolerable. Known as sleep compression, it involves gradually reducing the amount of time allotted for sleep over time to more closely match sleep duration.
