* ''Fanfic/SecondChances'': The shinigami Rae, trying to get L to use a Death Note against his principles, keeps him awake for days on end to torment him into giving in to his demands. L refuses to cave even when he's on the verge of blacking out and eventually gets Rae to stop depriving him of sleep by pointing out that if he perishes from lack of sleep, it won't be a 'real' victory for Rae who wants to prove that he can corrupt even the most unwaveringly moral of humans like L.

* In ''Literature/HoratioHornblower'' book ''Mr Midshipman Hornblower'', Midshipman Jack Simpson bullies other middies. He takes their food, spirit rations, and clean shirts, but has other tricks up his sleeve. He orders Hether to wake up Mackenzie every half hour, day and night so that neither of them is able to sleep. And he has toadies among the crew who are ready to tell him if Hether ever fails in his task.

* [[BurnTheWitch Witch trials]]. One method of extracting confessions from victims, used in England and Scotland, was "walking the witch." The accused would be forcibly marched and not allowed sleep for days. Some authorities preferred this method; it spared the accused's body from violent harm, especially [[WouldNotHitAGirl if they were women]], so [[TheWitchHunter Witch Hunters]] argued it was humane. It wasn't -- it doomed many innocents. Sleep deprivation forces the mind into a state of delirium and hallucination, so eventually victims would babble uncontrollably. Any deranged thing they said (or were told to say) was interpreted as a confession of witchcraft.

Sleep deprivation wasn't considered torture though so that was commonly used.

* In ''Professor Dowell's Head'' by Creator/AlexanderBelyaev, Dr. Kern tries to drive Arthur Dowell (the title character's son) insane by trapping him in a room with permanent lights on and playing loud annoying music -- essentially, by depriving him of sleep for many days. Unfortunately for him, Arthur's willpower is strong enough to first ''pretend'' to sleep peacefully, just to spite his captor, and then to actually fall into a kind of restive half-sleep state, thus surviving the torture.
