[@AsTheWheelsTurn]

haha I was gonna say I bet moms with new babys hit the 50 hour mark sometimes. I remember going like two months and not once getting a full nights sleep , woken up constantly and for me it is hard to fall back asleep. that was when we were fostering and we had a 1 year old who was really goin thru it and a 2 year old with very high anxiety and ptsd. if one was actually asleep the other would be up and crying.if they were both finally asleep it would take us a little while to fall back asleep and pretty much as soon as we did one of them would be awake again. it was a nightmare for us having not ever had children I remember not even feeling human anymore after a while it was just so bad. I can deal with a couple nights no sleep but drag it on for months where you just sleep for sometimes minutes at a time and it is really hard. we got to the point where we would take turns literally staying in a hotel by ourselves to get a nights sleep. very expensive way to get some sleep but there was no other way ,probably the worst time of my life but ultimately it was worth it, I think we were needed at that time for them and we were there.

[@joush9950]

In college I tried the Everyman sleep cycle, where you sleep 3.5-4 hours every night and take three 20-minute naps spread out throughout the day. After a while, I thought it worked well. That is until I went back to a normal sleep schedule. Then I realized what it was like to actually have energy again, my sleep paralysis stopped, and I was actually able to get things done. The thing about these sleep cycle hacks is that they take weeks, if not months for your body to adapt to, and if you break the sleep schedule at all, it becomes misery. I was never consistent enough to test if it actually worked, but I definitely went into denial thinking it was working when it realllllly wasn't at all. I will say though, 20 minute power naps in general are awesome! They can take practice, but once you make a habit of them, you feel amazing after waking up.

[@ashmitgaur8268]

I don't usually watch fitness youtubers but you manage to make me smile everytime :)

[@LilBoyHexley]

I'm not an advocate for this sleep pattern, but I feel like the way to start a new sleep pattern is from the morning after being fully rested, starting on your naps even if you're not sleepy yet. By starting at night, you're jumping off from your most exhausted state, and now you're stuck continuously playing catch-up. By starting at midnight you're starting from a point of being awake for 12-16 hours without *any* sleep, and then jumping into naps.

[@ashtar3876]

Same man

[@pokeyspastries]

This video was eye-opening (quite literally)! I sleep 3-4 hours twice a day instead of 6-8 hours once a day because I work at 2am (overnight shifts). I've done this for years and simply found that this works better than attempting to go to bed at 5pm for me. That being said, some of the experiences in this video are actually a regular occurrence for me 🙈 It used to feel awful, but I learned how to live my life around it, and now it's not so bad. You never really stop feeling weird (since at any given time you're only running on a couple hours' sleep), but you do get used to experiencing/expecting the side effects of sleep deprivation. And yes, the world really does feel like a different place in the middle of the night when no one's on the roads, lol. On my days off I just sleep normally though, since let's be real--nothing beats the standard 8 hours of sleep 😴❤

[@descendency]

I've had a split sleep schedule and I definitely felt more active during the awake periods... except you know how you get really tired before bed? That basically happened twice a day. And that period where you're groggy during the first bit of waking up? That was 2x too. But I felt like my peek efficiency was higher than usual.

[@krisbuen6613]

same! working in a night shift as well, and sleeping in biphasic for almost 3 yrs now. Some days I still feel half asleep specially during the 1st day when I got back from my off days as I usually sleep normal those days and my body is adjusting again. I also sort of feel the difficulty processing things at times as my head were kinda like floating, but my energy level are still the same, more even.

[@Bad_At_Parties]

I can relate to this. Anyone that works the "midnight" shifts can, from 11 PM to anytime in the morning. It's not what humans are meant to do, and the more you do it the more you realize why. I used to be able to handle those shifts a lot better than I do now, but these days I truly feel it. Your body should be asleep, preparing for the day, but instead you're up and working and you will be trying to sleep later in the day when the sun's out and everyone else around you is active. It's backwards, and not sustainable. How I sleep usually differs as my energy levels can always fluctuate, since I can work 8 hours one day or a few 10s or 12s in a row the next, but I usually end up napping for a couple hours a bit after I get home, then spend the rest of the day up to early evening getting done what I need to do before then laying down for four or more hours before I have to leave to start my night shift. Not ideal, but it's the best solution I have to a bad work schedule. Lately I've had my normal hours plus overtime mandated, so I spent most of my time at work. When I get home I'm so burnt I just pass out from morning to early evening then just stay up till I leave for work because I have to get something done on those days or I just feel like shit about it.

[@mewchuking8639]

I sometimes just sleep when I'm tired and that could be polyphasic at times kinda similar to what you did. I sometimes had really good energy and sometimes worse than just doing it the normal way

Late, but I felt this so hard. I have depression and I was taking care of my mom for 15 years. After moving states, I now have this thing for about 2 weeks, probably more than three times out of the year, I'm sleeping all day and up all night. The only way to get back to normal unless my body just gives out and sleeps at night, is staying up all day and crashing at 8 or 9. (FYI sleeping pills don't help me! One doctor had me on something prescribed and it didn't do much.) Every time that happens, I know why they use sleep deprivation as a torture device. I can't imagine staying awake 50 hours.

training with basically no sleep or extremely fatigue and exhausted, you are lucky that you did not injured yourself. you were conscious enough to stop in time and prevent something bad

Wow what a cool challenge! I’m a flight attendant so I definitely have pulled being awake for about 48-50 hours before but not on purpose. Our sleep schedules are the craziest. Love the video!

Will your analogy’s arrive absolutely hilarious!

Just did a 44 hour straight drive and it was one of the most difficult and profound experiences I have ever encountered. I would not recommend anyone deprive themselves of sleep. Hats off to Will for his strength and determination to see it through.

Oof- this had to be so incredibly difficult- I feel like the naps would make me so much more tired. Also cooking spray in the measuring cup helps molasses (or anything sticky like that) slide right out

He's more brave than most of us. Thanks for knocking another thing off the list of stuff people shouldn't do.

I've gone without sleep for 5 days. You cannot differentiate between what is real and what isn't real when you stay up for that long without sleeping. It's a surreal experience and only a very few people can stay up that long without falling a asleep.

I’ve been up before for 6 days it sucked for my mental health
