What I find the most fascinating is how your body ends up acting as a seperate entity to you at some points
Itâs pretty amazing isnât it!! Iâve only ever lasted for 62 ish hours and I fall asleep standing up ! My mother found me and said I was sleep walking to the kitchen sink and trying to do dishes??!! I canât even remember falling asleep lol! Itâs the strangest thing ever and itâs pretty scary to the way your body twitches and jumps when you do try to sleep makes your heart skip a beat or 2! Itâs scary
Thats because it is.
@Entropyâs Multiverse That's a shame, my body cleans the chickens after the ritual sacrifice, it's very considerate
I call it The automatic pilot.
Me, who misses a day of sleep.... I feel like Iâm dying already
I can go a week with only 1 hour of sleep
@Happi honestly its the worst I feel like I need at least 10 hours or sleep a night so I donât feel really tired the next day
Do a video on sleeping on only a few hours a night for a year! It would be so relatable and interesting
Iâve pulled many all-nighters before. I actually feel super energized (probably from adrenaline) the next day. However, it is the day after that when I feel like I might die of sheer exhaustion.
lucky, every other week im awake for at least 48 hours and you think you're dying..... i have extreme insomnia
This video is giving me more and more anxiety for this dude's health as it goes on, even though I know he's not a real person.
Fr Iâm sitting here feeling bad for thus dude
@@kwameboy67_Sports it's making me feel like being awake is unhealthy hahah
Wimp
Oh absolutely. Especially with that flip half way through.
or is he?
DUN DUN DUN!!
I went 70 hours without sleep and went to work. I was having weird hallucinations like a giant squid and my car started backing out on its own. When I was driving home all the mailboxes turned into people walking there dogs and I desperately tried to avoid them.
One time I hallucinated my toy furby walking towards me
What work did you do?
You drove 70 hours sleepless?
4:16 i was having a micro sleep during this and it freaked me out it feel like a nightmare for a short 2 or 3 seconds and my heart was pumping
Holyy

I watched this tonight because I cant sleep. lol
@@sleepybeannn me at 7 amđ
52 or 56 hours, don't remember the accurate amount since this was years ago. But after the 48 hour mark everything just kinda feels different and you might fell sleep anywhere if you dont keep yourself doing something.
I guess the 24-36 hours or so is kinda the most common. Specially if you're suffering with insomnia or sleepless nights.
Funny how this was uploaded right when I'm in bed not getting sleep and wondering if I should pull an all-nighter đ
not healthy yo. just read a book to give your brain a reason to be tired, or drink some herbal tea.
Don't pull an all nighter.
Went to county jail once and it took 4 days to get a bed. By the 4th day I was losing touch with reality.. I saw a martian climb down and use the phoneđđ
Jeez 96 hours with no sleep
must've been tough
What were u in for?
@@geayudo123hi4 Yeah it was no joke. The FBI were just fxcking with us to get us to turn.. Trying to answer questions with 0 sleep is THE WORST.. ever since then I have never thought people were weak for admitting to crimes they didn't do
Sounds about like Oklahoma county. Its days to get processed. Even if you're innocent you're spending some time there.
About 24 hours without sleep is enough to wreck my immune system and make me feel like the world is surreal, like I'm dreaming awake.
24 hours... And I can sleep 20 hours per week,rest stay awake and I am okay .
But if I don't sleep for too much time,just my eyes close... And I can't make them stay open đđđ
But no hallucinations,no immune system problems,nothing...
Different people can withstand different amounts. I can operate for 36 hours straight with no detrimental effects, past that I hit the micro sleeps and Iâve never gone past 48 hours. That being said, after just 5 hours of sleep I reset back to full strength completely and can go another 36 with almost no issues.
Yet I know other members of my family are barely capable of functioning if they go just 18 hours without sleep. Tolerances are different for different people even for things like sleep.
Micro-sleep episodes are no joke. I've experienced them while driving before, its terrifying.
As someone who started going insane from sleep deprivation, I can confirm this is true
This literally popped up in my recommendations at 5 am, way to go algorithm, just rubbing it in my face
That algorithm is just a kid with a ball
Watched this before 5AM, currently 5:04AM.
24+ hours of no sleep changes my mood for real and I feel like I am dying insideâŠ
I know Iâm not the only one, but when you were a kid and you tried to stay up for 24 hours for 1 day. đ I always fell asleep 15 or so hours in
I did a few times as a teenager, and I've had a few days in my 20s & 30s where I've literally worked for 24-25 hrs straight. By hour 22, my concentration is shot, I feel nauseous, etc. I had to drive 60 miles to get home and the whole way all I wanted to do was just sleep. I even contemplated just pulling to the side of the road and taking a nap, but I knew if I did I'd be out cold and a cop would eventually stop.
@@sixstanger00 When i was 16 I have played games for 3-4 days straight.....
One time i didnt slept for 2 days i woke up like a drunk man
15 hours is a bad attempt
Me watching this at 3 am
âHm interesting...â
Ima d that now
Where abouts? I'm in the uk its 2.30
Almost 5 am here đ
Only 8:48 for me
3:36 am here đ
everything up to 48 hours is so unrealđ iâve stayed uo 2 nights in a row several times and iâm just simply tired and irritated. thereâs no hallucinations or anything
Fairly accurate in my experience, 96 hours with no sleep is brutal, short naps and energy drinks help but you pretty much go into acoma after you finally are able to sleep
I only didnt get any sleep on at night, the next day around 1pm i started hallucinating and laughing randomly.
I have no idea how this happened,I spend 48 hours drinking at night ,working at day,and I had not a single hallucinations...
But on the way for 50+ hours I fall asleep during my shift....
me who has been awake for four days doing homework: ROOKIE NUMBERS
Facts bro!
"Pathetic"
ROOKIE NUMBERS

Me who was up a whole week doing nothing: *Laughing intensifies*
As someone with a sleep disorder I go through most of my dayâs in a state that is almost exactly like the state depicted after 24 hours of no sleep. Some days I canât sleep and some days I can sleep over 22 hours. No matter how much I get I still feel and function as a sleep deprived person.
I've stayed up for a little more than a week while high on some stimulants. Ended up seeing things, hearing things, feeling things, and then ultimately almost got arrested for drug possession at a park, but I swallowed the stuff before. Ended up crashing and falling asleep for around two days and some change, waking up periodically but not really remembering it.
I suffer from mild to severe insomnia, I've personally gone past the 2 week point a few times, but only in times of extreme stress . You start hearing stuff around day 6 or 8, and start seeing things around day 10. You really don't care about hygiene or food. The worst thing is everyone telling you "take it one day at a time" and "things will be better tomorrow " but when your day doesn't end for more than 2 weeks, that's a horror story to hear.
Huh. The longest a human has ever been recorded for going without sleep is just over 11 days.
@@abbyborden2437 well then they need to record me under extreme stress, I can attest is not fun at all though.
You have not. You'd be dead.
@@357sigshooter2 u would get nauseous too?
@@abbyborden2437 imagine if he was telling the truth the whole time. (Doubt it)
My record is 76 hours . Was a terrifying experience , but there was no hallucinations
What scared you then ?
@@Nathantooit Probably because he knew he was going insane.
this is just describing my daily life even when i get sleep- im laughing
Riiiiiight. I have cptsd and go into psychosis often but if this was you all day everyday youd be in a mental long term facillity
Its sad when people think its cool to show off how sleep deprived they are.
If youâre sleep deprived just go to sleep, itâs not that hard bruh
@@501thtrooper4 Yeah, I've never gotten that. Being like "I sleep like 2 hours a night lol" isn't going to make me laugh or make me think you're cool or something, it's going to make me very concerned about your health
Bunch of drama queens
When I was a kid, I made a challenge to not sleep for an entire 48 hours (during school holiday) so I stayed up and watched the Dictator about 5 times and after around 50 hours, I fell asleep and slept for a solid 12 hours
Twelve years ago, my father and I had a long fly home with a layover from China. I had a sinus infection, and so I couldn't sleep at all during the long flights. I stayed awake for about 56 hours, and felt half-dead once I got home. The reward was 13 ours of sleep. Best sleep I've ever had.
I got 2 hours of sleep last night and feel this so much. I also have terrible insomnia
Try working out and cardio. That worked for me.
I also only get two hours of sleep myself, but I have GAD and it's really hard to stay asleep for more than two hours.
I stay up every night for most of my life, so my body pretty much gotten used to it, but I still can feel my body telling me to go to bed. đ
I once stayed up for a little over 2 days straight. Back when I was just out of high school.. man that was trippy.
1:50
I work in fast food and I always have to resist the urge to fight the customers tho, even if I get enough sleep
Do a video on only sleeping a few hours of sleep a night for a year/s! It would be so interesting seeing the effects and relatable to alot of people
the longest I went without sleep was five days, I was at university, and having to work 40 hours a week to afford it. i worked in a hospital, and I was seeing some strange things about of the corner of my eye and just felt hot and cold all the time
It was torture, and then I slept for two days straight after that
@Curtis Jeffries University I think
@Curtis Jeffries University, sorry you say College in the states, in the UK. we do school, then college then University. But it's changed now.
That hot and cold symptom is awful
Longest I've ever gone is three days. I felt fine though, I didn't get sleepy until the night of the third day, got a full twelve hours and woke up better rested than ever.
*I'll have time to sleep when I'm DEAD!*

How long did you crash for after?
Really, because then you would've beaten the world record, whilst he had all the caffeine that he could consume, whilst you probably only had a thermos at best.
Must have been a horrible crash. That's the part that feels like death if you are strong enough to withstand it without relapsing back to ice.

When I was in the shelter system, sleep was fleeting. Just one of many things I was robbed of...
Wow. So sorry for you going through thatđđŒ
@@Naistov I appreciate your sympathy.
May I ask how and why you got into this shelter system?
@@anattackhelicopter2680 It's long and complex, however, it pretty much it's due to a fracture to my L4 and L5 coupled with multiple psychological issues.
The guy looks so terrifying,if sleep deprivation had physical effects like this,that would change the minds of so many more
Its a very effective torture technique with bright lights.
That thumbnail is amazing. Could be a great thrash metal album cover. đ€
Listening to this, I'm amazed I got through college.
Bruh I have been getting 4 hours of sleep a day for this entire yearđđ«thank you high school
What grade are you in
I can relate high school in general i think makes everyone tired đ
Same
Been that way for years now, thx army ptsd
I've always been like that. Sleepless Elite for the win... or is it for the loss? đ€đ€·ââïž
In my party days I went a full week. Friday afternoon through the next Saturday morning in fact.
A waking dream is how I'd describe it. Not like "oooh, it's a bit surreal". After a few days I kept becoming whoever last left the room, and I don't blame everyone else for thinking I was being ridiculous but it was entirely out of my control. By the 6th day I was full blown in another dimension, and had hallucinated a 60ish yo's entire life inside a drop of condensation in the water bottle I was holding, new people arrived and they were fascinated by me so kept asking me questions to try and make sense of the gibberish that came out of my mouth.... then they tried to get me to go out for a drink in town so I said I had to go meet someone but instead just stumbled home and passed out as I opened the door. Everything after the water drop is a mix of hallucination, memory and deduction based on evidence from after I woke up again.
I don't reccomend!
Since then, I've hallucinated plowing into a pedestrian and having them smash through the windscreen... just because I had an early start and late finish at the office one day.
Now I can barely handle a normal office hours morning without passing out mid-day.
Me - feels like Iâm dying when I only get 6 hours of sleep
Why not just write a normal sentence like I feel like I'm dying when I only get 6 hours of sleep? What is up with this lame trendy me: format comments?
Another interesting video thanks
This got to me somehow. I felt so uneasy and had to hit the comments to chill out
In college, I had like 3-4 hours of sleep, maybe even less than that and I got addicted to the feeling of staying awake with little sleep. I remember dissociating a few times and even blackout one time. Nowadays I feel like death whenever I try pulling an allnighter.
*The title of this video should become another challenge by our favorite narrator!*
I believe he already did it
Let's not, for his partner's sake
@@stinkanator570 If he did, I didn't know.
I just did 4 days. I can confirm, you go nuts after 4 days.
Longest ive gone without sleep is 7 days. I was hallucinating and everytime i tried to sleep i would just dose off and be awoken by a thunderous noise. It was one of the most horrible times of my life. I thought i was going to die.
So sleeping pills to help in bad situ
oh jesus
No
Sounds exactly like exploding head syndrome, you should definitely check it out.
Honestly most of this video is my whole life. At this point Iâm not even sure I actually exist đ„Ž
đđđ
I feel that I have sleep problems too
Honestly Iâm just a figment of my own imagination
Put your phone down at night and go to sleep
Yeah I saw your day in the life of an entrepreneur video, you're really awesome
Wow. That explains alot of what I experienced. During busy season I went 36 hours multiple times. And each time those symptoms got worse.
This is every day for me as someone with narcolepsy. Before I found a med that worked it was miserable trying to constantly force myself to stay awake during normal daytime hours...never mind that multitude of potential driving disasters!
That was strangely specific.
I have bipolar disorder and Iâve spent entire weeks awake with only ten minutes of sleep here and there when Iâm manic. Itâs horrible.
Guys steer clear of April.
Most women have bipolar I think it's just how women are.
Just go to bed
Same. I was shocked how people here think 3 days is much.. hope you get the right medication
Hey, my boyfriend has the same problem, he isn't bipolar, but he usually can't sleep for a week, and it's just painful to watch. Did you find any solution to your sleep problem? Some medicine? Anything?
I love this channel...but I have to say, the constant open-mouthed smiles can be chilling đ
I feel like Iâm a chiller person after I pull an all nighter. A lot of stuff I do is pretty silly but I donât have a care in the world. Itâs like Iâm on a drug that lowers my iq by 20 points but completely eliminates my anxiety. Iâm able to enjoy life more and on the upcoming night I get extremely deep/restful sleep with amazing dreams.
When i didn't sleep for 37 hours my body started to hurt mainly my torso . A few hours sleep and the pain was completely gone.
Dope video!
I went almost a month without sleep when i was hooked on ecstasy. Its hard to remember what exactly it was like and these videos help me â€
I actually went 32 hours or so without sleep and I can confirm this is pretty much what happens: short term memory loss, muscles hurting, short temper. My eyes felt like they were out of focus, my brain felt like it was out of focus! Doing anything was impossible.
Idk why I put myself through that I just wanted to learn it for myself and have that experience.
My longest time without sleep was 33 hours. I worked four eight hour shifts in a row because it was Christmas time and every minute of those 33 hours paid triple time. Each shift had two 20 minute breaks, one thirty minute lunch. The 2nd, 3rd, & 4th shift had an extra 20 minute break for staying over eight hours. Although I never actually slept during that time, the last ten or twelve hours were worked on autopilot. The job was extremely repetitive, and was done with shear muscle memory, my mind was not very active. Along with all the other overtime I got that Christmas week, I took home $2800 after taxes. Two foremen allegedly received write ups for permitting this. On the way home, I realized nothing looked familiar. I was three exits past where I should have gotten off the interstate. On another occasion, after working 7 days a week, mostly 16 hours a day for a month, I went to sleep driving home and woke up rumbling through the grassy median.
HeređŻđČđ„âlol i went a full day/night without sleep once lol the sleep definitely got back its revenge i slept a full day/night after đ

@@thesmockinggunYT Google gaslighting....
Seriously I want to know cause I gotta ask is my lack of sleep resulting in memory issues or are my memory issues a result of lack of sleep?
Sounds like gaslighting to me specifically to de-legitimize my experience.
I have mental health issues, and can stay awake for days at a time by choice, but I have to be busy...like working night shift and then important tasks to complete during the day. But I got so tired I felt like my body and lungs were shutting down.
No
Can you do a video/videos like how to become an airforce pilot or how to become an army man and stuff like that please
Inforgraphic did great to describe how "high" is like đđ
I maxed out at 11 days, and when my wife was having breakdown across the planet I managed 3-4 and decided when I started hallucinating it was time to sleep and start over. What we do for love. Probably did permanent brain damage but she is worth it.
Longest I've gone without sleep is 5 days. I was on drugs so I dunno if I can attribute the hallucinations to the drugs or to lack of sleep but 5 days was my absolute max. My brain shut down and i fainted asleep every time. Then I'd wake up and do it all again.
Stay away from drugs kids
I had a bout of insomnia that lasted about 4 days once. I was scared that I couldn't sleep, but all the stuff this video talks about didn't happen. I couldn't concentrate, and was having some pretty bad anxiety, but that was about it
I use to sit up 3 or 4 days a few times during my younger teenage years lol once I do remember the new call of duty modern warfare 2 I believe 3 days later and I do remember going thru most of this outside driving the car and the ball boy thing and no running over people but funny this video makes me feel like I am back there .
I just don't understand why he was fighting sleep when he was home. I got anxious listening wishing he just go to sleep.
No
At one point he mentions his brain just not allowing him to sleep for whatever reason, which tells me this is involuntary.

This is kinda what it feels like when I take 5 or more tabs. Like Iâm day dreaming and Iâll zone out imagining scenarios one after the other then I look at the clock and itâs only been 10 minutes. Then before I know it 3hrs have gone by.
Hahaha, the first time I tried 3 tabs I stayed awake for over 40hours and for the last 10hours my brain felt like someone was constantly squeezing it. It was painful but also impossible to sleep. Iâll never forget the experience as I also had somewhat of an awakening
I like the phrase obtusively stubborn.
I actually have stayed awake for more than 48 hours before. I didn't have any hallucinations but I did have pretty much everything discribed by this vid. Short term memory problems. Easily agitated and coordination problems

As someone with a sleeping disorder and schizophrenia, a lot of this is relatable, I cannot get into deep sleeps often and only sleep for a few minutes at a time, I have bad psychosis, itâs worst at night when I want to sleep. I think that thereâs people in my walls and ceilings and that Iâm under attack every night, or I lose years and think Iâm a kid still at home, our minds are so complex and bizarre, then Iâm more normal by day time, and just foggy and confused all day. Rinse and repeat with the odd night I just skip sleep altogether. Meds havenât been able to help yet.
Those moments when you say âis this real lifeâ đ€·đ»ââïž
I work an average of 14 hrs a day. I sleep between 4-5 hours a day. Been doing this for 15 years and itâs starting to get old. The longest I stayed awake was 4 days. I fell asleep and slept for almost 30 hours. It was pretty crazy.
Watching this while Iâm supposed to be sleeping, nice.
this just makes me tired and anxious
