What Happens to Your Body on No Sleep | Outside Online. (Hat tip, Rus Bowden.)

The consequences of chronic sleep deprivation are far worse than one sleepless night. But the decision to pull an all-nighter just once can leave some serious damage in its wake.
 I once stayed awake for something on the order of 40 straight hours (I had deadlines to meet).  When I finally hit the sack I was surprised at how long it took for me to fall asleep and  how short a time I slept (about five hours). I was young, though, and my normal sleeping pattern soon returned.
