Worthy of being researched if true.Deprivation of sleep can kill you-so can loss of REM sleep.

You can only go about ten days without sleep...then you die...that's all I know. If I'm wrong, whatever.

Well,I'm not posting just to tell someone they are incorrect about a subject,but,I do know that you do not die if you don't sleep for 10 days-I know this from personal experience(and this is no shit)-I went for 14 days with NO sleep,what-so-ever.While I could never accomplish such a feat at the age of 39(I was in my early 20's),I did not die,even a little bit.It is,in all honesty,one of my favorite memories-I was among friends and,while they had not been"hitting it"as long as myself,they found my demeanor,quite amusing(We,still talk about it,from time-to-time,and laugh...Aaaahh,the"Good'Ol Days!)Of course,after day 7,or so,I don't recommend operating heavy machinery,and the cut-off for using extremely SHARP objects or working with power-tools,as well as anything capable of producing FIRE after day 10.And,certainly,your contact with the general public should be limited,cuz,while you may THINK you are behaving"normally",to the average-Joe,citizen,YOU ARE NOT!Definitly,avoid Law Enforcement Officials.I've sorta gotten off of the subject(does that surprise you,given what I have just shared with y'all?)That experience taught me,one thing,for sure:after a certain amount of sleep-deprivation(everyone's body is different,so,the amount of time will vary from person-to-person),your body and mind,simply,shut down.I was actually dreaming WHILE I was awake....it was neat.As far as this dude in Vietnam-he is either,majorly full-of-shit,or,he,simply,does not exist.Like I said,after time,you shut down,no matter how much artificial stimulation or otherwise,you have at your disposal.Peace(and,please,DON'T judge me.)
