Like, if we disregarded all ethics and moral and just forced a person to stay awake for a month or so, with loud music, shaking them, waterboarding etc. What would happen?
Would they just fall asleep inspire of our best efforts to prevent that?

Think they used to do this in witch trials around 170 years ago, in the end the accused would just end up admitting to being a witch to avoid the sleep deprivation torture 🤷♂️
We’ve done it with mice, and they die eventually. It’s very hard to keep them from falling asleep. I don’t think there’s ever been a confirmed human death from lack of sleep, but it’s theoretically possible

[Randy Gardner](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Gardner_sleep_deprivation_experiment) stayed awake for over 11 days, maybe not a world record, but definitely the most well studied case:
>Lt. Cmdr. John J. Ross, who monitored his health, reported serious cognitive and behavioral changes. These included moodiness, problems with concentration and short term memory, paranoia, and hallucinations. On the eleventh day, when he was asked to subtract seven repeatedly, starting with 100, he stopped at 65. When asked why he had stopped, he replied that he had forgotten what he was doing.

First you start to lose your mind, your brain needs REM sleep if you stay awake long enough your brain will literally take REM sleep while you awake and you will hallucinate, stay awake long enough and you die.
