This is rather odd, to me, staying awake for 17 days.
Did you have some sort of monitoring device to tell if you were always awake?
In the movie, Fight Club, a doctor tells the Norton character that not sleeping will not kill you.
Well, that is wrong.
Your body needs sleep to heal itself and your immune system breaks down if you do not sleep.
17 days would be enough time to get an infection that will kill you.
I did 17 days without sleep, but not really.
I was in a hospital bed and had a big clock, on the Wall, right in front of me.
So, I knew I was asleep for five minutes every day.
I ended up being abducted by five demons.
I came back to my body after what seemed like a month, and the clock had not moved.
2. I would not advise taking too much acid.
People I know, who would take 30 at a time, ended up permanantly messed up.
