Singaporeans Try: 24 Hour No Sleep Challenge

Singapore is one of the least rested countries in the world, with locals only getting an average of 6.3 hours of sleep a day. To see if we could battle the effects of sleep deprivation, we tried to see how long we could go without napping. Who's going to tap out first?

Disclaimer: Sleep is important! As seen in the video, some negative side effects include hallucinations, dull moods and even accidents. Sleep well and do not try this at home.

[@maricelecoy581]

TheSmartLocal yep i know, but with what a problem i currently have i sleep until the next day :)

[@lemonadefor50cents61]

am i early?!

[@tidakadalah]

Well the bad part is that I know it’s bad but I still sleep for less than 8 hours just 6-7 hours daily on a school day and this started since primary 1 and now I am primary 4 and the longest I slept for a school day is 12 hours but that was only once. The bad part is that you know the side affects but you still do it.

[@joshualee6765]

ive had 3-4 hours of total sleep in 5 days being in ICU at the hospital!! not even morphine put me to asleep!! but i was aware n not hallucinating or anything... maybe i am wierd?

[@xlastr]

[@fee604]

IKR!! Like i'm so sorry but to me 24 hours is perfectly normal now. I almost never take naps so it's more regular to have at least 38 hours no sleep

[@limjavier3861]

Ikr the longest a go for is exam session 50 over h,my sleep cycle is mess up like shit, btw atb for school in a few hours is like 2am and I need to wake up in 3h gg for 1st day

[@sherimao]

During the dance it's just like Sew and Brenda's body is moving but their brains have dissociated alr

[@yanling60]

I really like brenda, she's so creative, spontaneous and sporting. She woke up after 11min and still not grumpy at all hahah. I will be like an ogre honestly. And how the heck did she read that colour thing so fast?! Also, both Brenda and Sew are great in the dance, blackgrey should be a thing XD I'm a fan hahaha

[@nic8012]

Really love the three of them together, especially sew’s energy and zhin’s perseverance! Hope to see the three of them in more episodes! Also, this episode was really meaningful.

sew: *starts dancing like she's possessed* sew: and then zhin got aNGRY he became a MONSTER HAHAHAHAHA FAVOURITE MOMENT EVER

[@fireboykhai]

Actually it's more than 24 hours of no sleep right. They started at 6pm. And I'm pretty sure they were awake during the day until 6pm. It's not like they just woke up at 6pm and stayed awake till 6pm the next day. Feels quite sad for them now.

[@head0fmob]

assuming their office hour start at 9, they awake for 24+(7am to 6 pm)=35 hour

[@lemon2524]

Yeah it's extra.

[@dianaz3493]

the trio i never knew i needed

[@lindawong8287]

Sew should be a dancer sia, her moves are so sharp

[@denzelzhixuan4072]

Sew looks like a xmm dancing to blackpink🤣🤣🤣 was sew a child actor back in the 2000s?

[@marki7275]

If they started the challenge at 6 pm, depending on what time they got up that morning, they were really awake for more like 32 hours.

[@nightcore-1fan496]

They're all matching with the denim jackets xD Edit - Thanks for 69 likes

[@ParamountPepper]

I just wanna give a shout-out to the producers for letting Zhin take a nap. It's not often you get people this understanding :')

[@2801km]

"How to go up my leg go up the there?" my favorite sentence by Zhin.

[@adaniadlina1730]

[@coolbeanss7594]

i love this trio

[@cy_ace]

My longest record was 36 hours without sleep, I slept for 3 hours then went on 24 hours without sleep then I went to college for a presentation. I was procrastinating my assignments (interior design course). I found out how my body works, when I get tired, there will be a time frame then I get really really tired like extremely tired, but once I survived through that time phase, I GET SO DAMN HYPERACTIVE AND MOTIVATED TO GET MY SHIT DONE 🤣🤣🤣

[@anggunbatrisyia6748]

Good job to Sew for being so hyper tho especially the BP dance!!! Love uu HAHHAHAH

[@epiphadipity]

2:27 why sew look like a little house fly when she do the fast legs exercise HAHAHAHHAH so funnyyyyy. the music video part omg, only 4-5hrs into the challenge and they all laughing like they 20hrs no sleep.

[@sujenlee9943]

who is that one joker that disliked such an amazing video i- (from when i'm watching this)

[@cheryllim8991]

Can we just comment on how well they did the BP dance?? Were they trained or what 😱

[@yourgirldeirdre]

there was once where i stayed up for 24h and i was so delusional i got off at the wrong mrt station without realising

[@bootata]

I like how the message of the video was “sleep is impt”. But I’m not sleeping because I’m watching this video (and it’s 2am?)

[@astalkerisee2813]

tsl: makes them do workout also tsl: gives them mcdonald

[@rosanne48]

this vid is so wholesome... it made me smile at 2am

[@clubalc]

Why is no one talking about the small swords in sews hair

[@mondaybloos]

Aren't the producers awake with them the whole time?

[@blinkeuinyourarea1072]

If we ever experience this , blame : School

[@thepropheticguidance]

im glad the producers got zhin to rest.Personally when i’m sleep deprived,I always get a tight chest feeling and i feel like im gna get a heart attack. So yes sleep is important!

[@Hanshanabulan]

I love zin and brenda's reaction when they knew sew sleeps "too much" 😂

[@shoenlow1129]

The way sew said " YAWN " SO passionatly and seriously, i cant😂

[@shrjun]

try 40h - a lot of doctors on call in the restructured hospitals lol

[@munchkinket]

im leaving a like for the dance xDDD

[@Happy123]

Tbh it would be best to do challenges that do not affect the mental and physical health of the participants. This could be detrimental to those who are already poor in shape in the first place Edit: ok at least this was for a good cause

[@pupwee]

I like sew being in the videos , she's like so funny .

the moment they have to sit on the stool is just so funny HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

I watched this the 2nd time. I remembered watching this back when I'm still working with my old company, during dinner time at a food court alone after a long day. Pandemic wasn't an issue at the time. Everywhere is crowded with people and sitting alone at a corner watching this while having dinner is such bliss. Now, this video is almost one year and just how 2020 being swept by this pandemic. Man I do miss the time when everything is normal without pandemic

[@nctxczenniexstraykids_kpop7240]

I always have 0 hr of sleep because I have a really bad insomnia and depression so I totally dun know what's sleep
