Sleep deprivation can have severe consequences on your health, but it's not typically considered a direct cause of death. However, the long-term effects of chronic sleep deprivation can indirectly lead to conditions that may be fatal. Lack of sleep can weaken the immune system, increase the risk of chronic diseases like hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, which in turn can be life-threatening if not managed properly.

It's possible that given enough time, sleep deprivation can kill you. While no human being is known to have died from staying awake, animal research strongly suggests it could happen. In the 1980s, a University of Chicago researcher named Allan Rechtschaffen conducted a series of groundbreaking experiments on rats.
