Timeline: What If You Stopped Sleeping

Sleeping less than enough can lower your sexual desire, weaken your immune system, lead to thinking issues, and cause weight gain.
When you don't get enough sleep, you may also increase your risk of certain cancers, diabetes, and even car accidents.
But what if you stopped and cut off sleeping? You'll find the answer in this timeline video, but they won't be pretty.

My record of staying awake is 62 hours. It started on New Year's Eve (but some years ago). I've been hanging out with friends, drinking, then I was celebrating it with family, again litres of vodka and beer on the next day, then my birthday (2nd of January) and then I finally felt a desire to sleep. Idk how I haven't felt tired

I have so much respect to the guy who broke the world record

My record is 52 hours. Here's what happens to me (I have a sleep disorder so I don't always get tired after 16 hours). After 24 hours I still feel normal-ish but notice I tend to zone out if I think too much, after 30 hours I feel super tired and usually go to bed but sometimes I don't, after 32 hours I catch a second wind. After 36 hours I begin having weird thoughts. After 40 hours I have mild hallucinations but I'm aware they're hallucinations (like seeing my mom standing there not moving in a dark room), I get tired again at 43 hours, once we get beyond 43 hours I've only stayed up that long twice and beyond 48 hours once, so this is speaking from limited experience. After 48 hours I have a constant sensation of a big truck idling outside of my house even though there's no truck there, after 50 hours I start laughing at total nonsense like how I have short hair for a girl but my face is more covered up than girls with long hair because it's a bob haircut (I can remember looking in a mirror laughing about how I have short hair but it's in my face). It's weird because I love my haircut, I've had my hair like this since I was 12. Once we got to 52 hours, I was so tired I just fell asleep watching TV. But before that I was saying I wanted to make a song out of me eating cereal and claimed all the noises were music.

I read an article one day about an abusive mother who never let her son sleep at all. The son has been without sleep for 8 DAYS! And then he died from a stroke on the 9th sleepless day. The mother showed no remorse but instead celebrated her son’s death. What a heartless witch!

[skibidigrey]

The longest I’ve ever been up is…. 24 hours lol btw l ❤️ ur videos XD =D

[candyneige]

You frogot to add "phantoms start spawning" at after 72 hours because if you didn't sleep for 72 hours, phantoms will start spawning and will start attacking you.

I stayed awake for 2 1/2 days in a hospital after my mom had brain surgery. I slowly shuffled to the family waiting room, yelled at some kids for being loud, and then passed out. My dad did explain to the people I yelled at I just stayed awake for over 2 days. LOL

[imperialgermanmapping]

I once stayed up for 36 hours and I was fine

I just slept for 14 hours the next day and gained my energy back

When I stay up for 24 hours I start to hallucinate people calling my name and have extreme fatigue, plus my pulse rate increases. Is this possibly hypersomnia?

[sageninjamorro]

I once stayed awake for 36 hours, after the 15 hour mark I was real tired but once it hit the 24 hour mark it felt like I had a normal nights rest, only feeling tired if I thought about my lack of sleep
