You have a good shot at breaking the world record for days awake...
What are your nutritional needs if you aren't sleeping? Are you eating extra throughout the night when your basal metabolic rate would otherwise be slowed down until morning when sleeping?
You should really see a sleep specialist and do a sleep study cause of beta-amyloid build up linked to Alzheimer's disease:
"A mouse study suggests that sleep helps restore the brain by flushing out toxins that build up during waking hours. The results point to a potential new role for sleep in health and disease."
