Sleep deprivation

[LoveU2Death]

Could sleep deprivation, and a small overdose of lithium kill someone?

No. But a overdose of Lithium could cause physical issues.

I went 16 days without sleep. OD'd on Lithium by accident. Caused my labs to be out of wack, but was able to function, get to my doctor and function.

I wish. Might make you get into a fight with a neighbor who has a gun and maybe he can shoot you. Lol

"While not sleeping won't outright kill you, the effects it has on your body can be fatal. After several days of not sleeping, your organs begin to shut down, and sections of your brain will degenerate."

So, you would have to go an absurdly long time before you even came close and realistically, it's simply not very feasible. I'd say this method would pretty much definitely fail.

Hopefully the neighbor won't be shooting to just incapacitate the OP
If the OP goes that route

Hello, sleep deprivation does not usually kill. But you have a great chance to fall asleep or pass out. At some point your brain may start having microdreams and will eventually turn you off. Concerning lithium, I can take a look if there were any fatal cases, let me know if you are interested in this. Though it is not a good way to go.

All the ways I look into say it's not a good way to go. Lol

Was posting here. It's horrible. I start hallucinating and bring Bipolar I bounce all over the place.

Eventually I do pass out... for a half hour. The big joke is I say goodnight and will be back when I can't sleep and I'm here all night lol.

Oh wow that's crazy! I can get lost on here for hours on end. I've had a few nights where next thing I know the sun is rising and I gotta work in a few hours

Whenever I go days (starts around the fourth day) without sleeping, I start hearing these crazy thunderous booms in my head and my head will often jerk down with it to where it's hard to even keep it up and my eyes with involuntarily close. The booms are very similar to the sound of tapping on a microphone or dropping it when it's turned on, except it's coming from inside your head and it's completely disorienting and gets worse and more constant as days go by. I couldn't imagine how bad it would be at 16 days. I would be completely disabled. Do you experience this as well?
