Many have wondered, many have spoken about it, but few know. Can sleep deprivation get so bad that it actually kills someone? All I can tell you before you read the article is, if you have sleep deprivation, stop reading now. This is NOT going to bring you any peace of mind (which might be exactly what you need to fall asleep).

i09 goes into the issue with great depth and peels away some of the layers of myth surrounding this idea, leaving only the scary and undeniable truth. Put it this way, maybe start drinking some chamomile tea before bed and doing some meditation to get you into a good state of mind, huh? Sleep is more important than you think.

I guess “Freddy” is more real than we thought.
