The Gemara says that a man can't go 3 days without sleeping. But that can't be true. Didn't Moses spend 40 days and 40 nights on Mt. Sinai? A _normal_ person 3 days of not sleeping is tough. But also I bet there are people who were soldiers, or Navy Seals, who went more than 3 days without sleeping. Therefore all must be examined in the light of Truth. Everyone according to their own level. Thank God.
