How Long Human Can Stay Asleep?
How long can humans stay asleep? My grandma has got alzheimer, she had no sleep for a night and after that nurses gave her some drags and enjection, from that time it's been 3 days that she is been sleeping. we thought it might be stroke so had a scan from her brain, but everything looks like before. so it is not a stroke. what can it be? is it possible she's been overdose and now sleeping for long? they have looked at her reactions and they say that she is not in coma.

Hello
Welcome to HCM.
This is most probably overdose of drugs.
But i would advise you to keep seeing your doctor.
Three days is a long period and no one usually sleeps for that long. You must also try to wake her up.
Thanks.
