Sitting in a comfy chair probably helps with the feeling sleepy

Dropping the egg is like dropping my phone on my face when I’m in bed at 4am.

[@ChristineMAbrell]

I've done this before where I would just drop things all of a sudden or not realize I was unconsciously letting go of something even if I was awake...oh school year

[@CelibateCetologist]

i remember reading a post on tumblr where the OP said that back in junior high school, they tried not to sleep for as long as possible and apparently, they started experiencing hallucinations. they said that they saw their hand warping through their desk but the OP's friend said that they had actually been staring at the same place for over half an hour.

[@fionamcguinn]

CelibateCetologist woah, that's scary😯

[@mochi793]

Hallucinating does happen when u don’t have enough sleep 🛏

[@wompwomp2323]

I’ve stayed up all night a couple of times and the tiredness really hits hard in the morning

[@XiARKADEiX]

[@leslie5921]

Is this why my phone is always falling on my face when I hold it upwards😂😂

[@9622paige]

I’ve been up for 36 hours and cannot go to sleep!! I feel like I’m dying!

[@strawberrygoldfiish8606]

Paige 1996 maybe take some sleeping gummy’s/pills?

[@erynpower3478]

watching this after working out that I've been awake for 36 hours 🖒

[@brainboxanky1729]

Wait wait wait .......
That drop should be scripted,
As When he was asked to hold the string just for 60 seconds and if he really wanted to hold it his brain should have turned on the reward system mechanism.
That is he must be thinking "come on just hold it for sixty seconds and then I can leave it and relax"
Here relax acts as reward which promotes attention to do it and brain counts this act as a survival necessary action
Though this effect is not very long lasting but long enough for the given task.
It lasts for about 25 to 30 mins which is way more than 60 seconds
.
Don't you feel the same???

[@33pandagamer]

when you watch this at 12:09 at night...

[@theveganalien7091]

[@scorpiongsd8766]

You kidding,lol I play games all night and I can still do whatever I want to do without feeling sleepy.Even after 18 hours

[@mattkiefs]

I go without sleep for a day or two on the regular. :'(

[@nephildevil]

you feel sleepy after eating much from the insulin spike

[@bigmeech8831]

That’s why I always start smoking crack if I’m up more then 18 hours

[@swanandtotalwar1285]

I want to know, what John was eating?

[@zealoustipp1538]

I would drop the egg. 26 hours and counting

[@STAYCBias]

You can never have a no sleep brain games test! You cannot test a person at all! The fact that you will never know when he/she is thinking alot at any point of time which losses alot of brain energy to continue the test!

[@Unyt]

I haven’t slept in 2 days.

[@zealoustipp1538]
