No wonder Sig has heart problems. He has always been my favorite captain and I wish him the best. That kind of stress on top of chain smoking is not good for a man
...Or maybe is the smoking? Just a thought.
(its not that stressful, they play it up for the cameras....all of these shows are fake)
Yeah happens when you are up for 48 hours on drugs for half of your life
Chain smoking is the only way he can stay awake probably. He probably doesnt eat a lot either
@@forestcityfishing4749 your body isnt made to be up 48 hours staight
Look at what happened to Phil man worked himself into the ground Sign deffently needs to slow down
Done 37 hours when I was 18 harvesting. Done plenty of 24 since lambing and such, doesn't even come close to how rough I felt after that day. And at his age, he's a bloody animal.
His lifestyle also almost killed him.
And lets not forget that it already killed Phil Harris.
@UPNorth J yes Phil was a little over weight but he also had a stroke so there could have been a history of high blood pressure in the family
@UPNorth J Working hard can kill you if your life style doesn't jive with working hard! To work hard and live a semi long life! You need to drink water, keep stress low, eat good, and have good down time etc...
Watching this show actually helped me quite smoking,I love these guys and fishing , cigarettes are a stimulant so it probably kept them awake at the wheel but in the long run they'll kill you
@@TheWingsoffury facts
My longest was about 42 hours on a QRF mission that was only supposed to last a few hours, but we ended up stuck on our trucks guarding a downed MRAP with sensitive material on it for 6 days before it could be extracted (flipped on its side into an irrigation canal during an ambush while my unit was en route). It was 110-115 degrees during the day in the middle of July in Helmand province, and I got a total of maybe 8-10 hours of sleep across those 6 days. I was awake for the last 42 hours straight. I was in the turret behind a 50 cal for the 90 minute ride back to our FOB. I was so delirious I'll never forget it. It was 3 AM as our truck plodded across the unimproved roads. I was being bounced around in the turret pretty badly and hallucinated that I was actually back in the states dancing in a nightclub. It was far past the point of imagination or daydreaming, I literally believed I was in a nightclub dancing.
You were dreaming while still awake. Micronap
I want you to know I read this in my best vietnam war veteran voice and god damn did it not dissapoint
Hah, that's exactly the kind of state of mind you want manning a 50 cal :D
@@Ebonybootysmackerfromjotunheim Afghanistan, friend
38 hours my longest being awake. Held my moms hand when she died. I had a peaceful sleep that day knowing mom and dad were together again.
Gotta be honest, some of the best sleep I’ve ever had was after 24-36 hour shifts. I’m usually laying in bed for hours before I can get to sleep. To just fall in, instantly go to sleep and waking up 10-12 hours later is amazing
Feeling refreshed after all of that?
@@JerryGiesler09 you’d think so, but I think it’s more your leg and back muscles easing off after the long shifts because usually you still don’t feel like doing anything the next day except eat and be lazy
Longest i ever slept was 24 hours when I was 15 I decided to stay over at a friend's house for the weekend and didn't sleep a second was about 48 hours before I got home must've drank 5k calories in 20p energy drinks as soon as I hit the bed I was gone
"gotta be honest" as if anybody is gonna think it's hard to believe that a person sleeps well after going a day plus without sleep.
agreed. I've only had one of those once in my life. best sleep ever.
There’s a difference between “hard work” and insanity. One should never be confused with the other.
The guy is hardly insane, maybe you should research the difference before making a dumb comment
@@WilliamWallace42 putting yourself in a situation where you could kill yourself and your crew due to wreckless abandonment for a dollar… I’ll argue he’s pretty insane. You shouldn’t operate a car like this, let alone a boat with a full crew on board.
@@Ch4MMPBoi did you delete your reply? I still saw it anyway and my response would be he didn't do it for a dollar, he was getting paid regardless whether he was sleeping or not, it was his choice to stay awake and I'm sure if the crew were in real danger they would have done something about it.. putting his crews lives at risk how? Yeah cos he's really gonna be crashing into all the traffic out in the open sea.
@@WilliamWallace42 you really have such little respect for the ocean and your life that you justify a 40 hour fishing trip? No, I didn’t delete my reply. Heart disease and sleep deprivation for the whole crew isn’t putting anyone in any danger. I forgot how safe the ocean is.
@@Ch4MMPBoi Time is money when you are out on the ocean and he is earning for his family, maybe he is taking it a little too far but he's clearly capable of going a long amount of time without sleep, the job is brutal for everyone on board but they know what they signed up for and did you here any of the crew complaining? No because the more they catch the more they get paid.
Ambition is deadly. I did a 40+ hour shift and started hallucinating and getting dizzy. Doesn't help that I barely slept the day before.
BE SMART and rest, even if its a couple hours at a time because mistakes will be made eventually
I worked in st.paul unloading these boats and i will say from what I seen of sig Hansen he is a humble and kind man to be around
again nice youtube story to gain likes
I did 36 hours on a call once and when I was done I handed things over and basically walked involuntarily to my car. I should not have driven but it was only 8 miles to my bed and that was the hardest sleep I have ever had. I was OUT. This guy is a machine.
@ROFLCOPTERLOL man had to get hone somehow
@@bronsonmackenzie8395 taxi, uber, co worker, we are in 2022 no excuse im sorry
@ROFLCOPTERLOL Yeah thank you Grandma, I thought I made that pretty clear.
While i know nothing happen that was highly irresponsible of you. I’ve driven sleep deprived and have almost crashed and will never do that again. Hopefully you never do something as dumb as that again.
Guys, HERE is The TRUE Savior
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
I’m convinced there’s a lot of stimulants on this show.
You think!
They only cause a problem if they go out and make a fool of the show or the captain when the show isn’t on
Alot of fishermen use drugs, atleast in Europe thats the case
You would think but in my experience once that little "push" is over you feel worst off then you did before taking them. Then you just crave more and feel even worst after doing some. Maybe its just me.
@@ChiTownGuerrilla correct in my opinion
Didn’t believe sleeping standing up was possible, until I worked 3rd shift. The worst part I remember when being up 24+ hrs was how bad my eyes would burn & my brain felt so ‘wired’ as the only way I can describe it. The sleep you get after is honestly some of the best sleep I’ve ever gotten.
the eyes burning is the worst part
Been crab fishin 20 years worked with sig and hes a machine and straight work horse
I laughed at Sig Hansen around 7:36 when he said "Alright, Edgar... You win.".
He toughed it out for as long as he could & finally gave up after 40-something hours.
It's amazing to observe how strong his focus on work.
Cocaine
Buy more coke so I can work more so I can buy more coke
@@chowder8802 hell yea that’s what’s up ❄️ ⛷
Sleep is so important as someone who’s stayed up for 72 hours straight I can tell you the delirium and hallucinations hit so idk how he was driving the boat
he wasn't it was driving itself at some point 🤣😂
Not a good captain if you put your crew at risk ! 😡
I rewatch these shows all year every year. Love it.
Me too. Seasons 4-10 are the best. The newer seasons are Way Overproduced. The real early seasons are straight up documentary. The middle seasons are a good balance.
As an old ER doc, I can say that by 24 hours with no sleep, your IQ goes from 140 to 120. After that, every 12 hours drops your IQ by about 10 points. At 36 hours you have auditory hallucinations, which you're supposed to work through. After 48 hours you're experiencing auditory and visual hallucinations. The next 24 hours are erased from memory. Dr. Bob All this time I was evaluating, admitting, and writing orders for care in the ICU. That's the way it used to be in Medical School! BRUTAL!!! Dr. Bob On the 3rd day the nurses found me asleep in the hall! YooHooHoo!!
ive been up for 4 days straight before no hallucinations. i didnt even no i did it i played games the whole 4 days. never did that again ..
I applaud Sig going 56 + hours awake. 👏 My max was 64 hour's straight. Traveling from NY to JPN that's 20 hours from the time I woke up + a 15 hour flight. Arrived in JPN had a 16 hour layover. Finally from JPN to PHP another 5 hours, landed 2 hrs for🧳, 1 hr through traffic missed local flight to town wasted another 2 hrs, hired a van service to drive 12 hrs down to my hometown.Arrived got cleaned up+ 1hr and attended a wedding + 4 hrs and finally 1 hour drive back home passed out asleep 😴 on couch when i arrived for 16 hours straight. One of best sleep I had in year's but never again.
What stopped you from sleeping on flights or in the airport during layovers ??
Going on vacation is rough
These guys are beasts. Much respect.
Man not only not sleeping but having back pain these man are tough cookies. I live in Seattle where alot of these boats port from and know a bunch of crab and salmon fishermen and a family that owns a few boats. They are a special group of people.
I like the lullaby tunr when Sig dose off.
I love Sig... His dedication to success is off the charts... Best damn captain in the fleet..
Ya he's a good man!
Just lucky for a time.
@@MGreen-vz6yb He still alive and Kickin
@randal horton What lmfao? Capt. Sig ain't dead bro, he's still alive and doing well
What you call dedication I call irresponsible.
Anything beyond that any Captain going that long without sleep becomes a danger to his crew, their needs to be someone he can trust to handle the wheel house so he can sleep every so often.
I’m SO obsessed with this Captain!!! 😩🔥😍😘🫠⛵️🎣🐠🙏🏼
Being that tired is a danger to his crew. He needs to have a co-captain to let him rest
He did Edgar!
But when you live what you do. And you don’t want to look weak in front of your guys you get stubborn and you try to do more than you can to make sure you can still prove you can do it for that long. Its a pride and ego thing…. He could of been relieved 24hrs ago if he wanted to….
Well said!! 🦀
They got an old school mentality
48hrs is about the limit before it becomes really nasty and your head starts to play crazy tricks on you. I stayed up for 72hrs once because of nasty bacterial infection in my intestines that made impossible to sleep. All I remember from it were the crazy hallucinations about Sammy Sosa controlling an alien race of Wasabi people. The infection came from taking the wrong antibiotic prescribed by my dentist for an abscessed tooth. Thankfully I was only 20yrs old or I probably would’ve died because it was about a month before I sought medical help and the infection did a number on my body. Brush your teeth kids!
I was in the Same situation a few years ago I luckily have all my teeth fixed now and all fake front ones I’m 22 take brushing your teeth seriously kids you do not want fake ones!
That is a hell of a comment and absolutely batshit insane. You deserve some kind of medal.
Ive done a 30 hour shift, well cementing. I had to drive a semi back to GP. After we got back I quit because they just wanted you to tough it out. 12-15 hours is easily doable.
12-15 easy anything past that is ridiculous
I've done 6, 20's in a row and 74 hrs straight. Gotta love the patch. Another time we had been running hard in 90+F and a pumper stalled. While waiting for mechanics I fell asleep on some cactus. That didn't feel very good for a few days.
thats when you go, ok fine but no more rdt's 😂
Bro i do a 18-19 only for one trip without rest only stop for food coffee pis ir pup nothing more thats so hard and Bad pay
lol bro you didn't pump cement for 30 hours 😂😂.. you was in your truck sleeping 🛌.. i'm a company man for chevron so you can't bullshit me .. yes you might have been on locations for hours but the job only took a few .
As someone wise once say and I'm paraphrasing "The ship and crew will not benefit from the leadership from an exhausted captain"
I loved this show back in 2000's. True hard workers these guys are.
I drove like 32 hours and by the end of it..it was really hard to see road signs on the highway..barely made it into a truck stop without falling asleep
I’ve done 36hrs tarping roofs after a bad tornado hit my home town. Anything past 24hrs you are constantly fighting yourself to stay awake. I can’t imagine pulling a 48!!!
I thought he had all those health problems and nearly died and was deciding whether to go back fishing or not and now i see him smoking and pulling a double all nighter . Its in his blood for sure , that is where he is the happiest , pulling crab pots . Amazing guy . See alot of myself in him .
This clip is from years ago.
this is like 10 years old ray ray
This was way back when
It's like an addiction and not a healthy one.
This behavior is self-destructive
I've always said, "sleep deprivation is a hell of a drug." It can be as dangerous or even more dangerous than operating drunk.
I remember railway suburban shutdowns here in Australia we would kick off at midnight Friday and go until 0500 Monday. Somehow we found 2 nights at the pub straight after. Sig is a beast, I can't do that anymore.
Done 72hr sleep deprivation training in the military.
I don’t even remember falling asleep afterwards and felt like a zombie when I woke.
I was a tow boater for a while, which isn’t nearly as stressful as working on a crab boat but still dangerous, especially when you’ve been up for 48+ hours with maybe an hour nap here or there that you question if they’re helping or just making you more tired when you wake up. Defiantly not fun
I remember getting to the end of a ruck March after 2 days plus without sleep. Pure delirium. You’re so happy and goofy but the second your head rests on something boom you’re done. Those long bus rides back to base 😂
I have actually fallen asleep ON a ruck march before! 🤣 But yes, those bus rides where the best to sleep on 🙂
The feeling your body gets when it finally starts to rest, it’s like being injected with anesthesia in a way, just everything shuts down
Ive done 30 pulling lobster traps , it gets dangerous cause you start just turning off your mind and going through the actions. I almost rode a trap off the back just standing in front off a stack as the trawl was setting. I been trying to get on a crab boat for 10 years but its a hard circle to crack, Im getting old and worn out now, starting to think about anchor handling or some other "Light" duty work as support for offshore exploration and production in the N.Atlantic.
Been there too man. Zoned out sliding off the back before I realized and broke free. Don’t miss it for a second. 7 years Deck Boss 🤙
I have insomnia and the longest i've gone without sleep is 50 hours straight. Almost crashed my car. But this guy had it worse because he's working in an intense physical environment. Can't even imagine.
Its rough ive done 48hrs on 2hrs sleep even then its delirium. I build high rises bridges that kind of thing
I've done 36 hours in 32-38-degree heat, and 90% humidity when I was younger, I couldn't do it again now. You start to get tired and grumpy at around 16-18 hours, by around 22 hours you get a second wind and feel great, from around the 26th hour you're ready to rip someone's head off for looking at you the wrong way. The worst thing was I got 4 hours of sleep and had to do another 18 hours. When our relief crew arrived and wanted a handover I pointed at the gear, said it's all working, and goodnight. This was on an offshore drilling rig back in 2003 when they preached safety but would throw all that out the window to get the job done.
As someone who has had severe anxiety-induced insomnia that lasted 3 straight nights (and not 1 minute of sleep--not once), I can assure you that when you finally conk out, you're going to have to cycle through a couple nightmares/sleep paralysis/confused arousals before your body is ready to dive into true sleep. It's absolutely awful.
I know exactly what you mean I have the same problem. Imovane is a medicine that helps to fall asleep
@@elishh8173 So sorry to hear. I'm very thankful that I was able to successfully address my anxiety (though it took a long time, including therapy), and the better I could address my anxiety, the better chances I had at getting sleep. Best of luck to you--I know it's a battle!
Anxiety induced insomnia versus literal physical and mental exhaustion is not the same...coming from a former fisherman. Trust me that sleep is immediate and deep
@@JaredWJohnson- Fair point.
I feel you brother. I'm doing that every week. Sometimes I forgot what day it is.
I did over 72 hours with a 2 hour nap during a particularly busy weekend of rideshare. I kept getting jobs so I kept working. Finally went home when my vision started to scroll like an old cable TV
I did crabbing one season and it's no joke. When you're on the crab you got to get them. I mostly fished halibut. It's tedious as well.
2:40 Edgar got them cross eyes going!
Haha
Sig's a beast !
I did stay up for 36 hours in boot camp. You do get second winds fairly often but its the quiet moments in between that really make it so hard
This is so dangerous!
You can’t think straight after being awake for 24Hours, everything after that. Makes it more dangerous for every single hour that passes.
I do 24 hrs awake all the time. Not dangerous. 48, yeah thats a bit extreme
@@PeteV80 except it is dangerous.
@@adamgraham1665 nah, it isn't.
@@PeteV80 wonder why truckers aren’t allowed to drive for 24th a straight since it’s so safe lol
@@adamgraham1665 why do people use "lol" when they're about to say something insincere or intellectually dishonest? Next comes "so you're saying...". I didn't say it was safe to drive. I said it's not unsafe to your health in response to someone saying they lost weight because they stayed awake for 24 hrs. That's not how the body works.
Pure beast!🔥
Dedication at its finest
No Ace, it's stupidity at its finest.

This is an older episode. Both edger, and Jake Anderson are aboard.
48h at the wheel. That's dedication. It's dangerous too. But they pull crazy hours all the time fishing. We just don't see it.
No need for that when someone else can run the boat and someone can sleep!
YOU, YOU THAR. YOU ARE DE CAPTON NOW. "Collapses and passes out".
My man Matt hit us with the perfect impression of Sig
The longest I've ever made it was 58 hours.... it took me 3 full days to feel normal after that and I was 19.... can only imagine how he feels
I never did add it up I stopped counting after 72 hours.i started hallucinating while driveing through the mtns on a business trip to NY.i was seeing cars,people ,lights that were never there.i slept 24 hours straight when I got home.like you I didn't feel right for a week.lack of sleeping is really a trippy thing.one minute your tired after being up for 16 hours, then you push through and at about the 30 hour mark you stop feeling tired..thats when things get interesting.
I did 84 hours in the military with nothing but gallons of coffee. It was horrible.
I did 56 at the casino. Driving home I was hallucinating. I pulled over at a rest stop for a quick coffee break and woke up 8 hours later with the car on and my winnings on the seat next to me. The craziest feeling I’ve ever felt.
@@tonycamaj7243 at least you had winnings after 56 hours… sounds like you were chasing some losses!
@@nickthompson1812 the best night I’ve had
I stay awake 3 days straight and took off driving as a truck driver I drove for 30mins and started seeing cartoon like families crossing the road it was INSANE.. NEVER Attempted again
That dudes got some big f…..balls
Respect that determination
Holding the line like a boss
Sig is a legend always will be
This headline is hilarious
Makes it seem like they tucked him in and everything lol
Best boat i was on actually gave you 4 hours every 20...or when running to gear, of course...back when trips were 18-24 days long and seasons lasted for months. Some stretches were 30 plus with starts and fits between gear and such.
YES thank you!!!!!! You must be on my boat!!! 😁. That is the responsible thing all crew members and captains must do to be safe on the water!
5:35 lmao that guy had one too many uppers
Man every captain pushes his body to a breaking point
Not by any means as bad, but felt the need to share. Used to work four jobs in kitchens, and the only sleep I got was on the bus home. I recall being at a specific BBQ joint and feeling like I was floating.
how long did you keep that up for?
Props to the camera crew, apparently they were awake longer than the Captain ⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓
God bless and be safe out there everyone.
My buddy was on a crab boat that was down 2 deckhands and he worked 72 hours straight at a point. Crab fishermen are just built different
Man, I've always loved Sig, mans needs to start thinking about his health. You only get so many times you can stay up for two days straight on adrenaline, cigarettes and caffeine. I dunno how old this episode is, but I hope he's not still doing this
I would start seeing things (hallucinate) after 72 hours !
And I have actually fallen asleep while steering a Navy Carrier !
We were in Black Out Conditions while slipping through the Panama Canal Had to tell the CO that I was no longer to stay awake .. the Boxer LPH4.
Dude you are such a liar
Worked a 60 hour shift one time at my job and by hour 50-55 every time I blinked it felt like my eyes were going to explode
That’s a real man. No complaints at all wow
Sig needs to take care of his health
Longest I ever did was 32 watching my dying mom in an emergency ward
Sorry for your loss
@@Daniel-we2jj thank you 🙏
lol
I just woke up. Now I want to go back to bed after watching this.
Without a doubt..he is the MAN..
Sig is a robot! Jst needed a recharge!! I love jewellery and I've always been curious about sigs Solid Gold & blue watch if anyone can expand on maybe a maker or anything! I've tried to find pictures of it or of him close enough I could see it but no cigar!
That's actually kinda weird,I've often thought about that watch myself,got to be a 1 off special consignment kinda deal,I'd love to know more.....
This is some old school stuff right here. One of my favorite crews.
used to watch this ten yeas ago,,,,glad to see this guy is still alive. Chain smoking people don't usually see 60.
Many times as a FF/Paramedic I found my Mac was 32-37 no sleep. I actually had to sleep at the station before driving home. No complaints here as I chose that career and when your doing something you love and believe in it’s worth it.
It isn't "focus" that keeps crab fisherman awake. Lol.
Exactly what i was thinking, its focus and substances.
Oh yea he was about to start seeing shadow people he was gone 🤣
lol
I love those gloves in the winter.
When you sacrifice one thing you get blessed with something else
To all captains and crew! Take a 4 hour nap 😴 everyday to stay on the top of your game!Its way to dangerous to be up for days on end with no sleep 🛌 Be safe 🎣👍🏻
48 hrs puts crew in danger. Imagine doing that as a truck driver. I'm surprised the Coast Guard allows this nonsense.
I'd doubt they do its all about how much you can get away with sometimes. Happens in any industry like this.
They more than likely don’t, but they aren’t out there most of the time so it’s a business of what you can get away with. High risk high reward as they say
Coast guard doesn't know whats goes on. This isn't a coast gaurd regulated vessal/industry. They don't follow dot standards.
I'm not smart, I don't know laws, I'm not a skipper but maybe maritime laws are different?
Obviously you’ve never commercial fished before
What a stud of a captain. I guarantee sig would go down with it and not think twice.
Hauled Turbot gear 36 hrs straight quite a few years ago, he’s a tough skipper.
I'm not ashamed to admit I would not be cut out to do this work. Unless I get 8hrs of sleep a night I might have a chance 😂
Yeah i get really angry if i don’t get my sleep lol they would not like me around them without any sleep
Got to believe there was some nose candy involved in Sig's MI. These captains take every advantage they can get. And they can afford it.
Maybe a bit of the old Lou Reed.
I just know that sleep was hittin soooo good 😫
Well said John stamps 31. He’s my fave too.
Was once up for 72 HR straight. Was in Iraq and we had a mission come down that was time dependent so we had to grind for about a week. After that second day, I was audibly hallucinating, sounded like someone turning the dial on an FM radio back and forth, felt fine besides that lol.
I'm sure you would have been very effective in battle with all those hallucinations. This overworking mentality makes no sense to me. I'm sure you've trained for fatigued fighting but seriously, you would be far more effective if you're 100% coherent. I don't envy you but I respect the fact that you did it.
@@darklordojeda Well, sleep deprivation is just part of the military in general, in training and combat anyway. During an average week back in the rear ( at your duty station) with no training scheduled during the week, it's almost a normal schedule so your sleep depends on when you get to bed on your own. More technical/skilled jobs like aviation, have a mandatory sleep cycle which I believe was 10 hours, at least back before I retired. Regular infantry/combat jobs, you have to pull 24 hour operations, so if your down a few people, it's just the way it is. One thing I learned that was most valuable to me was just how MUCH stuff you can stuff into a day. I thought I had it bad as a civilian employee but now, I have a diffrent perspective.
This show has been pretty transparent about the money these guys make for the amount of time they’re actually on the boat but it’s got to be more, much more otherwise they’re just abusing themselves for no reason. There’s hard work and a strong work ethic and then there’s stupid and dangerous
Its actually quite a lot. Between 30-50 an hour. Depending ong the catch.
Ahh seeing the shadows that aren’t there, get some great sleep after that lol😂. Miss those days
Sig feels like real life version of Robert Duvall's character from Apocalypse Now lol
I'm curious what the coast guard has to say about captians operating in that fashion. 48 hrs straight is legal? truck drivers can't operate for more than like 14 max with all special provisions and then they are forced to take a break. when are they going to require boat captians to comply to such rules? I can't see that being safe for the crew having a captian nodding off in those seas. if an emergency happened, a captain that tired wouldn't be able to respond properly in my opinion. they say driving tired is as dangerous as driving drunk. where is the safety protocols for stuff like this???
Well, an ocean is a bit different than a road. More spread out, not worrying about other traffic constantly passing you by. Enforcement can't be sitting out waiting for you to go by like in a rig. You just have to hope you don't get stopped for inspection, he'd be in some hot water if they saw him that tired. It's definitely a what you can get away with kind of situation. A little easier to do on the water. They don't have ELDs forcing you to stop like they do on rigs nowadays. Definitely dangerous, and way risky for everyone aboard.
All rules in the lower 48 go out the window once you go up to Alaska.
@@drwe57 lol no, this is Fishing 101 all around the world basically. Has nothing to do with being in Alaska.
They aren’t Nancy boys like most of “men” nowadays
Yes but we do have log books???
I never had a problem with 48 hour shifts, it was anything of 72 hours and more than really screws with your brain function. It is like living in a blur and feels almost like your brain is drowning.
Yeah same I’m a tough burly man too I thrive on 96 hour shifts
Bro honestly I hate that feeling when you can not sleep but you know you need it. Then it hits 48 hrs and it scares you. Good his crew had his back.
Good job
Sig just admit you drugs to stay awake lol
Can anyone tell me the science behind taking under a 2 hour nap when you're that sleep deprived? I'd go 36hrs two hour nap and feel relatively okay but over two hours I felt like shir
no expert but when you sleep it goes in cycles of deep sleep and light sleep the first cycle is about 2 hours
It all depends on how deep into sleep you are. You don't go into deep sleep until after the first 2 hours.
Correct! 4 hour naps is just great when fishing 🎣
I know they work long hours and work very hard. I just wonder if pushing the limits would cause more accidents to happen. God bless them all
I love sig
