No, it doesn't, because it would deal irreversible damage for adults after 6 days of sleep deprivation.

One time I went through an extremely stressful period and didn’t sleep more than an hour a night for 7 days until a doctor had mercy and gave me lorazepam. My muscles and joints started to degrade

My record was 242 hours without sleep when I was 12, me and my best friend challenged who could last longer, ended up in a draw. Last 3 days were in slow zombie mod, I couldn't walk more than 20 meters without taking a break.
