Can a person die with not sleeping?
Once again a great welcome from my side guys!!
This title came to my mind because of my younger brother. Because he is a little sick and we are getting him treated by a psychiatrist. One thing I've noticed is that he won't be able to sleep until he has taken his medicine. If his medicine finished and is not available in the pharmacy, he stays up all the night. His eyes turn completely red. Seeing him, it seems as he wants to sleep but he can't sleep. Actually his sleep is not natural. Some of us in the house wake up with him then.
We know that most deaths are due to heart diseases, accidents. And we have also heard that a person can die without eating or drinking. But can a person die with not sleeping?
And you know what the answer is?
The answer is a big "Yes"
You know Lack of sleep leads to death. And it slowly kills people. So have you ever noticed that a psychiatrist prescribes intoxicants and sleeping pills to his patients. So that if the patient is not able to sleep, he should be given medicine to complete his sleep.
Fatal Familial Insomnia(FFI):
A rare hereditary disease FFI ( fatal familial insomnia) can total lack of sleep and leads to death. It is the disease of brain. These patients shows a severe neuronal loss in thalamic nuclei. And this neuronal loss control their sleep cycle. FFI is caused by mutation of Prion Protein gene (PRNP) gene. And the patient of this disease died within few months to few years. Somewhere it's tells about that 18 months can patient survived and somewhere it's tells about that the patient of this disease survived 30 months. This means that the disease gradually weakens the person from within. And if a person can't get enough sleep, he will loss weight and have high blood pressure. The symptoms of this disease also include ataxia( difficulty to control movements), dysphagia ( difficulty to swallowing), muscle stiffness, loss of appetite.
Treatment of this disease:
The solution is to get your patient to a psychiatrist and therapist as soon as possible. Here in Pakistan, we have in the mind of some people that if they take a loved one to a psychiatrist, everyone will call him mental. (We must get out of this thinking). And also eating a healthy and balanced diet. But this disease has not a proper treatment. If you think that you have this disease then your doctor makes a time table of your sleeping routine. And then you may need a PET scan. This scan help to reveal the metabolic functions of your tissues and organs. This scan basically shows that Is your metabolic activity is normal or abnormal.
My brother doesn't have this disease. But I have to think this way after seeing my brother's illness. My brother has just an overthinking issue. Therefore we just treatment of my brother time to time.
Thank God my brother is much better than before and it is only because of seeing a psychiatrist from time to time. There was a time when we all didn't sleep because of my brother anxiety. But now, thank God my brother is too much better. Alhumdulillah.

I saw a video on youtube about Russian experiment on some people. In the said experiment, those people will not sleep and the will be observed on how it will affect on their health. And as expected, they hallucinated and end up killing each other and they died.
