It's not ideal. I can't speak from personal experience, but have a relevant anecdote.

My brother was in SIGOPS in the Canadian military, and they had to run combat and stealth field exercises during periods of sleep-deprivation over the period of days(++). He said by a few days in (I can't recall exactly) they were experiencing vivid, realistic audio-visual-tactile hallucinations that they regularly succumbed to believing.

Until he said he started seeing white rabbits bouncing all over an open field between him and passing enemy actors.

Beside any other negative health effects, I just don't think it would be sustainable. The world is weird enough.
