I read some weird fanfiction a friend dared me to read (which I now regret) it involved a man holding his girlfriend in his lap with her back to his chest. the man was on cocaine which allowed him to stay awake for much longer than normal. The man started flexing his pecs up against her back constantly, changing up the pattern so her brain couldn’t get used to it. she did something bad, so he was doing it to kill her via sleep deprivation. he kept this up for over a week and she ended up dying of sleep deprivation.
If that happened irl, would it be possible? This article seems to suggest it’s possible to voluntarily stay awake until you die but it’s from the Dailymail so who knows if it’s even a true story xD
Yes.
Could pec flexes keep a person awake like that though? I’ve slept on a loud plane before and through pain.
I’m not aware of actual death occurring from sleep deprivation, just serious cognitive issues. That guy would die first though if it can be fatal, because the coke it would take to do so would add a lot of strain to his systems that she wouldn’t be enduring. That fanfic sounds both evil and really stupid.
Friends don’t make friends read fanfiction!
I love this question but its really testing the limits of this communities name 😂
Do you have a link to that fan fiction?
