The Russian Sleep Experiment is notorious experiment from the late 1940's where Russian scientists apparently kept 5 humans awake for 15 days in a lab. What happened to those people has become the stuff of nightmares. What will happen to me when I try this???

You forget the atomized stimulant gas that was administered for 12 days

It's not that they just tried not to sleep, they used a special gas that prevents the body from falling asleep and that's why the results were horrible.

[@hackerboi3726]

That's what I'm thinking about

[@meganconway5333]

I'm just guessing but I'm pretty sure that gas included amphetamines. As well they were tortured but then again the lefties will tell you, it never happened.

[@TheWayza]

The Russian sleep experiment was a creepypasta. The only reason they stayed awake for so long was because the Russians made a no sleep gas, and the reason they were so creepy looking was because they ripped eachother apart.

Pretty crazy how much even the tiniest amount of sleep helps. As an example candidates in BUD/S only get two blocks of 15mins sleep through 5 days of hell week. I always figured those blocks were next to useless due to all the physical exertion but after this video I realize they are the main thing that keeps the candidates from losing it.

I did this when I was a kid, (I was unaware of the Russian Sleep Experiments at this time) and I saw hallucinations. Things I saw were this man, wearing a red and green plaid hoodie, eating a sub, with no face. I also saw this cloud full of these black and white baby heads that looked like they died while crying. When I went to my dad, he kept making weird faces, or so I thought. While I was talking to him, I saw this man in the hallway, which was wearing a white jumpsuit, white gloves, and a white classic "comedy" mask. Ever since then, I didn't stay up in my bed for as many hours I think I was in my bed that night.

[@paddington1670]

I hallucinated on the way home from a 2 day trip to the california border in oregon. I drove both ways and didnt sleep. It wasnt hallucinating like you would see portrayed in movies and on TV. It was more like actively dreaming seeing things, then snapping to and figuring out ive been awake the entire time. I duno, super weird, only happened that one time.

I did 7 days in my youth coming off hard drugs. After 3 days you start to see things in the corner of your eyes, On day 4 I saw a clock move across the walk, on day 5 I was talking to the floor and everything was moving in the room. Day 6-7 I was full-on seeing people and talking to them and just laughing, btw I was in the hospital by this time, as I was highly dehydrated and not in a good way. Then they knocked me out with drugs. And I woke up feeling great. Never never again. Granted I did get 15 mins to sleep on some days but the cravings, being sick and restless legs kept me away, the first 3 nights I didn't sleep at all, day 4, 15 mins, day 5 30 mins but I woke up being sick which scared me so didn't sleep which was huge mistake.
