First of all, we will say that you should always get enough sleep. Staying awake all night puts the body in danger. This is why the Guinness Book of World Records has stopped accepting any record of staying awake continuously. It also says that do not do this at all, otherwise life will be in danger. He did this after seeing the record of that teenager and the side effects seen in his body for 60 years. We will tell you later who this teenager is. How he continuously made that record, which would have pushed him to the mouth of death.
At the end of December 1963, 17-year-old Randy Gardner decided that he would take part in a science project in which he would see how many days he could stay without sleeping. In this work, his two friends Bruce McAllister and Joe Marciano supported him. Both of them kept him awake by turns and did not let him sleep.
Many people believed that lack of sleep could be fatal immediately. Once in a high-profile experiment, cats were kept awake for 15 days continuously. Those cats did not survive. We will tell you how Randy made a record of staying awake for 11 days, but what kind of side effects did his body continue to suffer after this. Now he is 78 years old and believes that he had done the biggest stupidity of his life by staying awake at that time. Because this work puts the entire system of the body in serious danger.
When Gardner started staying awake, his condition also deteriorated as the days passed. He stayed awake for 264.4 hours. About 11 days and 25 minutes. His entire time of being awake and during this time his brain was tracked properly. After two days without sleep, he started having problems in speaking some things. The ability to identify objects by touch was affected. However, his senses became sharper. He became sensitive to strong smells
By the fifth day, he started having trouble understanding things properly. He started having hallucinations. He also started having some problems with his memory. He tolerated all this and kept awake
However, during this time his friends did not just keep him seated at one place but also took him out. They took him for a ride in the car. They also made him play basketball. He was also eating and drinking. Music was also being played to keep him awake. He was drinking Coca Cola to stay awake. He was listening to loud music. He was regularly bathing in hot and cold water
