Explained: What Happens If You Don't Sleep For A Week? | The Quint

Most humans spend ONE-THIRD of their lives sleeping and that's roughly 9,000 days or 216,000 hours.

But what if you don't like sleeping? Or if you have a job that doesn't let you get adequate sleep? You're probably losing out on some sleep now, aren't you?

I personally don't like sleeping because I feel like it's a waste of time, so I wanted to find out what would happen if I didn't sleep for a week.

Thanks for giving such informed and detailed video. Such kind of videos are very much necessary for a person having a hectic schedule like me

[mattyboy]

Didn't sleep for last 2 days.. Simply can't sleep even after trying.. Now I am anguishing from physical pain

[rebelliousredneckvlogs]

Stayed up for exams two nights, I started seeing spiders and other odd little hallucinations by the end of it.

[simssimms]

I just did 77 hours awake. Started seeing waves and movement that didn't exist when I would look up so bad time I said.

This happened to me a few months ago when I was trying to quit drinking as well. Triple that with dehydration and it's the scariest situation to ever be in. There is no up or down. There is only terrifying visions and thoughts. No telling yourself it's not real. Nothing. Complete delirium. I also had a friend die from this. I went to the hospital but now I drink again out of fear.

I haven’t slept since last Thursday. It’s currently 03:03 on Saturday.

I’ve been busy doing research and creating and preparing resources for teaching which will be held later on at 08:30 - 10:30.

I hate this job, this is my 3rd session this week, so I’ve been sleep deprived for 3 weeks now. Planning to resign after this since this is also going to be the last session of my teachings for the whole bootcamp.

I’m also underpaid in my country ($400USD/month), so this amount of stuff for “teaching” especially in IT, in addition to ruining your health, is not fucking worth it.

Me watching this at 5 am when my morning shift is at 6 am...💀

[nirurao]

And what happened with the person who sleeps 10-12 hrs per day on regular basis?? 🙄 Also make a vedio on this topic please.

New Year's Eve and New Year Day have caused 2 days of sleep deprivation among many youths. 😀 They will know better how they feel uneasy in the following days.

“This is known as dieing and is usually not good💀”

[rockit]

It's not so much as quantity of sleep that's important, but quality. You can sleep 5 hrs & feel great or sleep 8 hrs & feel tired. It's all about solidly hitting the rem stage of sleep, which is what you need to feel rested. You don't necessarily need 8 hrs to achieve the rem stage. Myself I sleep 6 hrs & am very rested & energetic the whole day. It varies with everyone. I like when he says is sleep really essential. C'mon that's just stupid to even say that, of course it is.

i love to sleep. but am sleep deprived

[hollykataras]

I’m was busting out in tears after hearing this I haven’t slept in A week 😭

[ahmadizzat]

Just like my mom she not sleep 4 days straight and now she see things and screams . She need someone to stay with her and she told us to lock the door because she see things 😢

[stillizon]

I can’t pull an all-nighter because I get bored

[joeomalley]

Myself, I would never purposely go out of my way to not sleep even as an experiment when I have seen what not having sleep has done to my anxiety-ridden, depressed older brother who needs serious help today as a write because of this.

[vixx]

I am happy or maybe distressed to know that I will not be dying from sleep deprivation as it takes roughly 18 months for you to die from it. We know this because of FFI or Fatal Familial Insomnia, which eventually causes you to not be able to sleep at all.

[gudduentertains]

I go bonkers if I don't get to sleep within 24 hours.
