what would kill you faster hunger or lack of sleep and why?
You know Lack of sleep increase our appetite.? Read this : http://breakingmuscle.com/health-medicine/4-deadly-things-caused-lack-sleep-2-reasons-get-more
i guess it depends on the person and their metabolism. I saw a documentary on insomnia once, where a guy hadn't slept for months and he seemed okay. But if you don't eat for a few weeks, you'll definitely die - for obvious reasons. If you couldn't drink water, you would perish in about 3 days.
Hunger because you would die without food in weeks. Without sleep you'll just be tired.
Lack of sleep. Why? Because they're synonymous with each other. You can go about two weeks without food. The body will completely start to shut down just after 3 days of being awake.
After just a couple days without sleep, the body will eventually begin to give out. Why is that? Due to the fact your energy loss will be too immense, that is why jobs such as being a lawyer also cause many health-related issues. They consume plenty, but they rarely get decent sleep. So, that being said, too much lack of sleep would definitely kill you faster than starvation, since you can go a couple weeks without food. |dw:1377479440388:dw|
