Can you manage without sleep sometimes?

I have gone without my antipsychotic medication for two days now because the pharmacy is out of stock. Lately I think I just take it to sleep and that after thirty+ years I don’t need it. So I didn’t sleep last night and now at 3:47 a.m. I am sleepy but I need to grocery shop and I really don’t want to go in the heat of the day because I don’t drive. My question is, can you manage to stay up all night and feel okay the next day?

No I can’t. I need my sleep.

Even an hour would be better than nothing

no matter how much i have slept in the days prior to the night i need over 5 hours of sleep that particular night to function.

i know for a fact it is from the tranquilizers in the meds but i need it.

Dude you need at least 3 hours or that horrible anxiety feeling in the chest/stomach will manifest.

Hope you catch your 40 winks.

I need at least seven hours of sleep every night.

I can survive on 6 hrs a night for a week. But my focus declines a lot.

In my 20s I once pulled 14 consecutive almost-all-nighters (2 hrs of sleep just before sunrise) during a summer trip. Was relatively ok after that.

I start hallucinating after 2 or 3 nights without sleep. Tripping out. Can do 1 night easy.
