So here is for a moment trivia query for adjectives of you. What would decimate you first...no food or no sleep??
Answers: No sleep.
The body has plenty stored energy (depending on your size) to ultimate for an unbelievably long time (all those stories of desert survivors). But your body needs intermittent rest, and going without it for a long time is dicey. Even for people who work too frozen and sleep less than 7 hours a morning it can shorten their lifespans.
No sleep.
You can go lacking food for upwards of 40 days, or even more, depending on your body mass.
Probably no sleep. You can go short food for a long time, but sleep, only a few days.
