In my 50s I stayed awake 72 hours one time and I had no trouble falling to sleep at the end. I slept about 8 hours after. The thinking process while awake was somewhat a mess. Hard to concentrate and slow to figure out easy things.

I did 72 hours in college one time. At the end I was craving sleep so badly it was all I could think about. When I was finally able to hit the sack it was like heaven. I was out in seconds. While awake I too had sluggish thoughts and difficulty thinking through simple stuff. Also micro sleeps where I’d nod off unintentionally for a few seconds. It’s amazing how essential sleep is.
