Why do people need to be kept awake to not die during health hazards?

272 viewsBiologyOther

I hear this all the time, someone’s freezing and they need to stay awake to stay alive, or they’re overdosing and need to be woken up or kept awake so they don’t die. I don’t understand that though, wouldn’t that put extra stress on the body and actually kill you?

I’m no doctor but I’ve been led to believe that in many cases it doesn’t matter. It just makes for better tv.
