      We would be very sleepy! The record for the longest time without sleep is 11 days but i wouldn’t recommend trying to beat the record! If you went that long without sleep you would see serious brain and behaviour changes. You’d become moody, paranoid, hallucinate and struggle with concentration. Not very good 🙁
