My record for consecutive sleepless days is around 80hrs due to chronic insomnia. It attacks in waves. Around 16hrs you start losing the ability to focus. This disappears if you can push through 30hrs, but at this stage visual and auditory hallucinations start to become active. After 40hrs things get really weird. Spatial awareness becomes almost non-existent, words become a chore and fine motor skills are gone. During one particularly savage bout of my insomnia I ended up in hospital. The CT and MRI they gave me that time was insane when the results were read. The specialist said my brain looked like it was on DMT. Sleeplessness is horrible and I'd not wish ongoing insomnia on my worst enemy.
I worked the flight deck of a US aircraft carrier during OIF and OEF. We ran flight operations for 20 hours a day, seven days a week, for months on end. There were several occasions where I found myself experiencing hallucinations from sleep deprivation. It's an absolutely terrifying experience.
Mine was just shy of three days. I can't even remember what caused it, I was that out of it. I spent a whole day in bed, shaking constantly. When I finally did sleep, I slept a full day and a half. Never again, please. 20 hours is bad enough.

Fun fact, if you were immortal, because of the physical limit of storage, after the first 5k years or so you would no longer remember who you were when young or anyone including your family and friends that died. The upper limit is thought to be at most 10k years. After that you just know the last 10k years.
I think you would keep a core summary of memory from early childhood and early adulthood and start forgetting events from your late 20s and thirties and onward. I already remember my childhood better than my late 20s.
nah mate ima expand my brain with Quantum-SSDs controlled by some implant in a thousand years or two. That said, before my PTSD I had continuous, uninterrupted memory from age 2-16, and still remember most of age 2-16, but effectively nothing in the second half of 2015, little of 2016-2018, and somewhat improving since 2019. My first post-amnesia diagnosis memory was December 2015, when I broke down crying in a mock exam because I didn't remember many maths things I knew I should know, had to know. It threw me into a deep depression. Luckily I am sort of in a better place nowadays, but I can't wait for technology to actually edit my memory, physically fix emotional trauma and get back some semblance of what my mind and memory were before 2015. I can still remember individual bathing sessions from when I was two, what toys I had, what shampoo my mother, grandmother or nanny used for my hair, but not what I had for lunch yesterday for example. fun times
If you have experienced the White Aura state of enlightenment, Nirvana, Moksha, what ever you wish to call it, you might appreciate that memories are not stored in the brain, but the consciousness field of subspace. The brain is just a transceiver tuned to an individual souls frequency of the universal nonlocal waveform.
that's false. we don't store memory like hard drives that get filled up. we compartmentalize and prioritize. that's why we remember important events, but not exactly what we were doing 275 days ago at 6pm. unless we suffer serious brain damage, we don't forget our sense of self.
Always found it funny all the people that think but human mind as an endless hard drive. Remind me about a story about a professor, who knew the name of every fish, but didn't know the name of a single student. When a student ask why this was the case, the professor said every time he remembers the name of a student, he forgets the name of a fish.
Sleeplessness is weird. I once went 60 hours on zero sleep absolutely fine, until I fell asleep sitting upright and didn't even notice. Another time, I starting hallucinating after only 27 hours
The lower life expectancy back then was due to childhood and infant deaths from poor to nonexistent healthcare and medicine. People routinely lived into their 60s and 70s or more if they made it to adulthood. People do live longer more often thanks to modern medicine, but it’s not a 30 year improvement like that misleading average life expectancy number suggests.
Poor life expectancy, health, and vigour in the Civilised world compared to naturally living humans is due to diets and medical industry designed to deprive you of nutrients and symbiotic biome to keep you stupid and sick for purposes of profit and enslavement.
They use same way of counting now too ,babys still die ,poor can't afford health care and medicine in usa ! Or or 3rd world country's Unfortunately 3rd might not calculate is figures and USA are not known for telling the truth !
Yea but people wouldnt report or even name their kids back then untill they were at a likely age to survive and people were far more likely to die from even a stubbed toe back then cause they lived in shit and had no sanitation. Also plagues n diseases and famine. People lived till 70 but you were pretty dang lucky.
I think memory is very advanced from a human, because besides math and understanding schemes and patterns, there are a thousand of other information going on. Like past events, problems, stress, emotions and more on top of these amazing achievements. But humans are learning for decades how and what and can be receptacle for new opportunity's and knowledge. Let's say I'm an introvert person, but I see more things than other people do see things. Like entering a room and noticing small things that others skip, that can be from a chair to a crack in a wall or ceiling or a small statue. This also gives me sometimes a gut feeling in my stomach and is rarely wrong. Especially about people. Also, memory is always on from a human, even when we sleep, and that is even more advanced than any computer till this day. That's why I look differently to AI, but always with a critical state of mind. I learned this over the years, thinking critically about things and take your time with these new technologies. When I was in my twenty's I had a moment working 3 jobs per day, doing my official job, placing car stereo and alarms and late in the evening repairing electronic devices, so there were days from 96 hours. Which was 'normal' for me at that time. Without losing scope and coffee was my best friend in those days. Now I'm 56 and that hour's regime isn't possible anymore. But my memory is still fresh and helping me on a daily basis.
I went 7 weeks without food because of pancreatitis...left hospital weighing 32kg. I was so excited when I was allowed to eat but it took about a year before I could eat properly again. First thing I had was chocolate 😁
The limit is probably when we can perfectly integrate our brains into computers and basically utilize our brains as effectively as we can command a computer to do things, or integrate our brains & consciousness into a mechanical body that will live forever & has strength far exceeding anything a human could do- but at that point are we even human anymore? If possible, complete digitization and turning our consciousness into data to the point of basically being an AI ourselves would probably the be the absolute final limit on human 'potential' where we could live as a ghost infinitely and forever inside a planet, solar system or even galaxy wide super computer/internet. But that still just makes the question "at what point do we stop being human?" even more prevalent, the same could be said for once we start to genetically modify babies and people, or enhance our bodies with cybernetics, at what point does one stop being human? Is it when the body is more metal and synthetic than biological? Is it when all the biological material is replaced? Is it when we finally lose our humanity, morals and critical thinking-oh wait that's something people already do so I guess it cant be that one.
The "complete digitization" point would be the point of no longer being human. That only produces a copy, it would never be the original no matter what it tells itself.
@@Vaeldarg Not necessarily. If you replace your brain cells with nanomachines as they they die off over time it becomes more of a Ship of Theseus problem than being a copy of an original.
Or alternatively do a more gradual change by introducing molecules our bodies recognise as 'normal' but actually aren't until we are completely replaced. Our bodies confuse certain things as it is - usually leading to health problems. But if we figure out non-harmful alternatives we could become synthetic in a seamless manner with no loss of continuality. After all, we're still the same people we were a decade ago... right? Despite technically being completely different molecules.
Lol as a raging insomniac those sleep stats are kinda scary for me. I think the longest I've gone on absolutely no sleep is about a week. It gets hard to keep track. I used to go 4+ days about once a month. What I think doesn't get talked about is its not just being up days in end. I'm not up for 4+ days and sleeping normal the rest of the time. I might sleep an hour, be up 2 days, then get 45 min of sleep. I used to go 2 weeks on like 10hrs total sometimes, but people focus more on how long you've been up rather than the overall sleep debt accumulated. Anyways thank goodness my state allows medical marijuana. I still only average maybe 4-5hrs sleep per night but that's a huge improvement.
I'm the same way man, i barely get any sleep at all, if i am lucky i can get 1-2 hours a night. would routinely be up for 4-5 days, the longest i went was when i was forced to cold turkey off of 16mg/day of suboxone and was 15-16 days of no sleep and constant shaking, when i finally did fall asleep it was for about 10-15 minutes at a time.. I wish i had known about kratom or methadone but i didn't, i am currently on 200mg of methadone a day and still have trouble falling asleep, when that dose would normally knock people out cold for 2 days. I hope you're able to cope with it, it really is a frustrating thing, i was told to find a sleep specialist but i know i can't afford anything like that. Best of luck to you.
I went 22 days without sleep in 1995. I was having audio and visual hallucinations. However I have a very strong grasp of my mind and knew it was in my head. I was pretty out of it, and physically weak. But I then slept for 3 hours and fell right back into my sleep routine. I didn't have any side effects. I've never really had to sleep much though. I sleep 3-5 hours a night. And only ever sleep 25 mins straight, then I'm awake for 20 mins and back and fourth all night. I'm 42 and function just fine.
I've suffered three weeks without sleep in 2013. No hallucinations. No mental degradation. But my body just felt worse and worse. Eventually I drove to the hospital accompanied by a friend at 4am. My resting blood pressure had reached 250/140. It is usually around 120/70. That was the result of homicidal doctors who had forced me to take Zopaclone for 2 years, then against all emphatic warnings, suddenly dumped me off it.
I sleep no more than 1 - 2 hours a night...for at least a decade now...Numerous sleep studies and no answers...except it's Maybe hormonal. I'm 50. So I function better mentally than a colleague who is only half my age. Also, I have better short term memory than he does. My observational skills are very high, I notice all the little things others don't and am much more aware of the nuances of any issues we deal with daily.
On that data limit for the brain thing. That limit can only be close to accurate if the assumption is that each individual neuron is equivalent to a byte (smallest useful piece of data) But we know that the same inputs can often result in a myriad of possible outputs, and also that different inputs may produce the same output. This means that each neuron more likely represent multiple different posiible bytes depending on...... whatever it is that it depends on. (c'mon the lack of knowledge about the brain was disclaimed at the beginning of the video) It is also highly likely that the web of pathways the neurons form is highly complex. This means there could very well be nodes where for example, fire truck, barn, stop sign, and the traffic light for stop are all red. Its highly unlikey that your brain stores a separate neuronal pattern for red associated with each of those item, but far more likely that the pathways make a connection between a single instance of red (which itself incorporates all the different shades and tones, etc) and the other items, which in turn are connected to other nodes such as 'emergency light' for the fire truck and 'octagon' for the stop sign. That way, when you see fire truck and the node for fire truck lights up, it also lights up the areas for 'red' and ' emergency lights (which might remind you of a police car because police car is also connected to 'emergency lights' etc) Then your brain can back process the unecessary info out of whatever its delivering to your consciousness. (similzr to how your eyes are actually sensitive enough to see the flickering of a lightbulb as the AC current turns on and back off ever so many times a scond, but your brain straight just present you with the final conscious experience of not seeing the flicker. even though you brain has to do this AFTER you eyes have picked up the sensory info, but BEFORE you conscious experience of the world is processed.) With this kind of node interconnection, combined with the back processing of incoming sensory data, The entire way of storing , retrieving and processing data is fundamentally, at base level, on the foudation of concept, different from, and also more capable than a standard computer. So unless we can figure out HOW the brain process information, which will lead us to how it stores information, there can be no way of knowing what exactly the limit is. Just my not-a-scientist, unprofessional, i-think-its-logical-though opinion on the matter....allegedly! :P
I used to be in a group that practiced fasting and I can tell you that out of the thousands that were in the group, with even the new people, 3 days without water isn't a limit at all. Pretty regular to see people go 4-5 days dry fasting (I've done 4 days dry) but I really wouldn't recommend past that regardless. And as long as you aren't a hard diabetic or have some particular health issues, food you can basically go for as long as you have body fat, though when fasting it's not a bad idea to take a multivitamin for the duration.
@@RECTALBURRITO If we are talking dry fasting, I generally don't recommend pushing yourself at all exercise-wise. Try it on a weekend or something. Though I have seen tons knock out insulin resistance and non-severe diabetics reset and reverse it within a month or two, I don't recommend it to anything beyond that; so obviously be smart about it. If you are type 2 diabetic, you'd want to start with a keto diet or such, then monitor your sugar, then once you're body has more control of insulin prod, then you can try. Anyways, reason I don't recommend exercise during this routine is you're body can't make enough water on it's own, taking hydrogen from things like fat and oxygen from breathing. But I will say because of autophagy and getting rid of old cells, it does wonders to skin. Tend to look younger skin-wise, helps with scars, even helped with my slight eczema. Obvious fast fat loss once you hit ketosis but faster than anything since your body uses hydrogen to make small amounts of water. You will gain maybe half back because it is water but the fat lost is on you and your follow up plan after the fast Like with any diet/regiment. But I will say after you hit ketosis, you gain control of food back and can easily say no to things once in usually, you allow your organs to reset and heal, etc. Because when it comes down to it, no cleansing diet will compete against what the organs can do, so optimize those if you want to be healthy. Water fasting is a different story though as far as exercising. Walking is great for insane fat lose, though drink salt/potassium water part of the day if you do (read below). It will boost your energy and you'll feel better during the fast, trust me (night and day). I generally recommend water fasting more since you get most of the benefits without the unnecessary taxing from hydration. Though if you do water fasting, I recommend adding a bit of salt and "no salt" (found in stores; potassium) to some (not all) the water you sip as you will be p^ssing electrolytes and you'll feel much better adding it. 2 liter of water, 1 tsp of (no salt), 1/2 tsp salt, maybe even 1/2 tsp magnesium (epsom salt - food grade). sip it throughout the day. I will say though, just like the keto diet, you will run into the keto flu (headache and feel bogged down) for a day or so if you slam a ton of carbs going into a fast. I generally just go to bed early to get past it. Good luck.
@@brianhartling7767 that seems helpful. When I was 17 I fasted, without food, but with liquids, sugars and salts, for 4 days this causing me to lose 60lbs over the next 2 weeks. The only time I did a "water fast" was in a specialized training, and it was about 90°F and very humid. I fainted after day 2 and needed IV saline, which is as you know, salts, potassium, b vitamins, and water. I resumed training the next day. I personally am not in need of fasting, even though I am healthy, I do have epilepsy caused by many traumatic brain injuries. I personally would never try to pursue such a thing without trauma care, BUT I will say you can safely fast for possibly 4-5 days for a healthy adult. (I'm not a medical professional) I think every person is different hence, how someone can go 24 min without Oxygen, thank you for the information though.10/10 wouldn't advise. Lol
As am ex meth addict I can promise you it is very possible to stay up longer then 72 hours straight. I've gone about 7 days straight without any sleep and I'm still alive. Half retarded, but alive.
I have always been on the fence about being immortal or not. I'd hate to see the world change so much, losing loved ones, but I also want to see where us humans end up and what all we accomplish.
I once stayed awake for about 96 hours because I was playing the beta for ether saga online for 92 hours straight. Slept for a full day afterwards. It was lovely. No hallucinations, although some of my conversations got a little nutty
10:42 - The longest I've managed to stay awake before was 64 hours and 13 minutes back during Christmas 2011. By the point I eventually went to sleep I felt dead and almost like my eyes would explode
The fact that people believe that this human body with all its glory is an accident of nature, I just can't believe that no matter how hard I try 🤷🏾♂️
You need to check your scripts more guys. A neuron isn't a clump of cells. It's a cell. And neurons AFAIK aren't known to store anything. My knowledge may be outdated but last I knew changes in how individual neurons are connected are the best understanding we have of memories in general.
Yeah and adults have closer to 6litrrs than 6pints, along with a half dozen other errors in this script lol. The gist is generally correct and the stories are fun. If anyone values accuracy over everything else they are welcome to read a textbook lol
I wonder if a new neuron has a conversation with the one it's replacing and acquires whatever it holds in terms of memory and then basically says, "I'll take over from here."
The longest I ever worked straight without sleep was about 90 hours. I saw the movie Black Dog when I was a teen and thought it was just trucker stories. Nope, it is real, which I later found out was hallucinations. For me, it was the shadow of a greyhound running across the road in front of me. Just the shadow, devoid of a body. I knew I had pushed too hard. Luckily, I was only 5 minutes from a truck stop. As soon as I laid down in the sleeper I was completely out, and didn't wake up once for 16.5 hours. I stopped running so hard after that. I don't stay up more that 40 hours anymore.
Simon I need a job I'd be an excellent researcher, writer or an orator. You would really benefit from my skills and the world could possibly improve from the awareness I bring to the table.
Well to be honest, remembering 100 000 digits is only 100kB in computer terms, and you can make it half that after being a little bit creative. So in memory terms, the best of us are still pretty bad at it :D
There are memorising techniques that enable anybody with a fairly normal functioning brain to memorise entire libraries. Derren Brown will attest to that. Our brains are akin to the entire universe. And the only human organ to name itself. 🧠
Think about the ancient poets/storytellers such as ginger Homer and the mental gymnastics they would have had to perform in order to be able to consistently recall, and eventually embellishing on the stories they were telling. The great majority of human history only made it to us this far on the back of humanity's capacity for memory.
Radiation damage is repaired. Cell death and replenishment is the normal cycle. Even dna gets repaired. Cancer is basically forming all the time. It's the gradual reduction in effective repair that results in cancer. There is no theoretical reason we couldn't keep that repair mechanism working indefinitely
But whats the record for highest blood alcohol ever recorded and whats the limit? And also other drugs like cocaine cause people build up tolerances and can do lethal amounts and live so whats the limit and how do we test it and where do I sign up I mean what?
You people have had it easy. I've had medical issues that had causes severe pain where I'd be awake for a week at a time until the pain went away. Once when a disc herniated in my spine, I went 10 days without sleep other than 10 minutes here and there.
I had a bulging disc that pushed on the nerves of the left side of my lower half, it was painful, i couldn't sleep on my bed since sleeping on something soft would lead to me bending forward thus putting more pressure on the nerves and giving me severe pain and what can be described as an electric shock, add to that numbness in my feet, the constant feeling of "tv static" and feeling the sciatica nerve being tense like a rope pulled from both sides thus not allowing me to move my toes, i was used to sleeping in the fetal position and accidentally doing it while sleeping makes me wake up screaming in pain, let's see what else, feeling of burning in that spot where the nerve is pushed, pain in my left nut and the left half of my penis and also the constant adjustments i did to my standing position in order to not bend forward gave me anterior pelvic tilt which I just noticed and just started working on fixing. It was a pain I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, yet I wonder what does this have to do with the video
I stayed awake for 72 hours a few times, maybe 4 days once, when I had the opportunity to, quite a few times, leveling up my paladin on FFXI back in the late noughties hahaha Also partied for 3 days in Tenerife w/o sleep back then and had the most fukt up lucid dream when I finally slept. Not so lol haha
I was awake for 72+ hours before, without stimulant drugs. Hallucinations where real! I also knew a crackhead (for real smoked crack) that was awake for almost 2 weeks if I remember correctly. By the end of it he was totally out of his mind, locked in a closet, dressed like a rabbit and truly thought he was one! He slept for like 4 days only waking up briefly for food and to use a bathroom. I honestly don't know how he survived that! Don't do drugs!
After a 96 hour patrol, almost everyone hallucinated. I would have BET MY LIFE it was real. Very surreal and kind of cool (looking back at it). But @11:22 20min+ w/o breathing? How is that even possible??
A note for the rule of 3s It is good but always note that for the average person the last 30% of that you cant save yourself. You are at the mercy of others either because you are too weak or unconscious.
That may not be true, I will have to to find it but years ago Scientific American Magazine has a special Sleep issue and there is a family line that stops sleeping once they hit around 50 years old...they all die within a year of this starting and nothing works to make them sleep.
@lisabarraclough5957 Yeah but they don't die BECAUSE of the lack of sleep; the death is caused by secondary issues that are a result of a lack of sleep. The only incident I have been able to find was a mouse but they had to devise a terrible contraption that would keep it awake without any physical harm and even that took over a month if I recall.
Its a bit like old age - doesn't directly kill you, just makes it easier to die from something else. I imagine sleep deprivation disrupts organ regulation, causing irregular heartrates or similar complications.
@@cindygr8ce It's not even as if he prints scripts these days, piped straight to the teleprompter and sight-read for one-take, it's honed to perfection and hugely efficient.
I once knew someone who claimed they knew pi to the first 10,000 digits. So I asked them to tell me the 666th, 5013th and 9999th digit. They said they could only repeat the numbers in order so clearly they didn't 'know' the pi to 10,000 digits ...
I'd say that's actually pretty normal for any long string of numbers or letters. I'd imagine anyone that knew pi would absolutely need to start at the beginning and do them in order. Most people probably can't even jump into the middle of the alphabet and know what comes next. I need to start at January to know the order of months. Drivers license numbers, SSNs, account numbers etc... I'd imagine most things people need to recite sequentially.
67,000 was the original cap on Pi? How in the hell can one remember that many numbers in sequence? This literally makes me feel stupid as hell and I thought I was at least average.
Nope. Going that long without food makes a proper meal a VERY bad idea. You will need to ease into a normal diet. If you go more than a few weeks without food, you'll start with some kind of liquid diet, likely resembling the milk and formula given to infants, followed by tasty mush resembling baby food. Basically, you'll spend weeks to months working your way back to a cheeseburger.
I hear lots about sleep. Id love for someone to message me. I normally get about 4 hrs a night and feel life. Some nights (onve a week ish) I dont sleep at all. Id like to know more
I once went 8 consecutive weeks on no more than 5 minutes of sleep per week. With at least 14 consecutive days with no sleep at all. I can however verify the hallucinations, they can get pretty weird.
So it's not 15 born, it's 15 held in the womb at once. Unfortunately the 15 had to be removed due to unrelated medical issues. It happened in 1971 Italy reported by Dr. Gennaro Montanino.
So the born at once thing appears to have been a mistranslation. (They were born through C-section and some apparently lived so it's debatable which way you look at it)
I don't get it: if every 7 or so years ALL cells in your body are completely replaced, why does the cosmic background radiation pose a limit? it's not the same cell that gets "bombarded", it's a new one every 7 years
i believe he would drink tea with a bit of sugar to keep his blood sugar in check. i remember reading/hearing the story before, he had very few calories from the tiny bit of suger he consumed, the rest of his energy was being consumed from his fat stores, he was severly overweight so that is the reason why he was able to acheive this goal. pretty sure he had a personal doctor keeping tabs on him as well.
Every man in my family dies young. The women don't tend to live to much older either. My great grandmother passed away at 76 and she lived the longest of anybody within my immediate or extended family. Men tend to die in the 50s. My dad was only 56 my grandad in his early 60s. It's sad to think about because unless I have a son my family name dies with me
Interesting. Do the males die from a common cause or does it vary? Modern home DNA tests have some good info on longevity that can be discerned from your genes. Could be a worthwhile $150 for you to get a 23andme or similar done
7:40 That's ridiculous. The "M" in CMB is for "Microwave", and we know how to block microwave radiation. We do it all the time. In fact, every time you heat something in a ...Wait for it! ...microwave oven... you are shielded from that microwave radiation by a simple, thin sheet of metal, one that has holes in it so you can watch your food cook. In fact, the size of the holes is a direct clue as to how long the wavelengths are. Hint: They're just a wee bit longer than the holes in the screen. And that's why they stay inside the oven: They can't fit through the holes, and, therefore, they can't escape the oven to cause harmful effects. So when you say that we can't block the CMB, that's just ignorance speaking. Or, maybe it's laziness on the part of your writer. Either way, it's just plain wrong.

So much info around the oldest living people is skewed by racism. Due to slave trades and other racially and ethnically violent practices, "scientifically acceptable" proof of birth is difficult for BIPOC people around the world. A woman in Cuba lived to be around 129, but since she was born during a time when Native communities and enslaved Africans had no documentation of birth.
I've suffered three weeks without sleep in 2013. No hallucinations. No mental degradation. But my body just felt worse and worse. Eventually I drove to the hospital accompanied by a friend at 4am. My resting blood pressure had reached 250/140. It is usually around 120/70. Even now in my mid fifties. That was the result of homicidal doctors who had forced me to take Zopaclone for 2 years, then against all emphatic pharmaceutical company warnings, suddenly dumped me off it.
BS! Two reasons I know this, No1 "No hallucinations. No mental degradation" No2 "That was the result of 'homicidal doctors' who had 'forced me to take Zopaclone' for 2 years", including the spelling mistake! Doctors have no way to force you to take medication, I've stopped different types of medication for different reason, long story short, one of which was due to it being prescribed rather than sort the real issue out, so I had to while on Dialysis.
Because we could also have a list of all the dumbly "designed" bits. Our human capacities are also lower than many animals, we are not the fastest, nor the strongest, we don't have the best eye sight or sense of smell. What we do have is a body that is finely tuned by evolutionary pressures to thrive in the environment in which we developed 100,000 or more years ago. Pointing out one pr two extreme cases and using that to justify belief in some designer, but ignoring all the other points that strongly point against it just choosing to believe what you want and cherry picking data to support it. And claiming these achievements are awe inspiring is only because they are unusual in our experience. They are not unusual for other creatures. In other words, the amazement is not objective, only subjective.

I hope your insomnia gets better OP
I also choose to abstain from a single night's sleep about once a week, as it works for me in promoting the creation of serotonin.
I worked the flight deck of a US aircraft carrier during OIF and OEF. We ran flight operations for 20 hours a day, seven days a week, for months on end. There were several occasions where I found myself experiencing hallucinations from sleep deprivation. It's an absolutely terrifying experience.
Mine was just shy of three days. I can't even remember what caused it, I was that out of it. I spent a whole day in bed, shaking constantly. When I finally did sleep, I slept a full day and a half. Never again, please. 20 hours is bad enough.

Fun fact, if you were immortal, because of the physical limit of storage, after the first 5k years or so you would no longer remember who you were when young or anyone including your family and friends that died. The upper limit is thought to be at most 10k years. After that you just know the last 10k years.
I think you would keep a core summary of memory from early childhood and early adulthood and start forgetting events from your late 20s and thirties and onward. I already remember my childhood better than my late 20s.
nah mate ima expand my brain with Quantum-SSDs controlled by some implant in a thousand years or two.
That said, before my PTSD I had continuous, uninterrupted memory from age 2-16, and still remember most of age 2-16, but effectively nothing in the second half of 2015, little of 2016-2018, and somewhat improving since 2019. My first post-amnesia diagnosis memory was December 2015, when I broke down crying in a mock exam because I didn't remember many maths things I knew I should know, had to know. It threw me into a deep depression. Luckily I am sort of in a better place nowadays, but I can't wait for technology to actually edit my memory, physically fix emotional trauma and get back some semblance of what my mind and memory were before 2015. I can still remember individual bathing sessions from when I was two, what toys I had, what shampoo my mother, grandmother or nanny used for my hair, but not what I had for lunch yesterday for example.
fun times
My memory already sucks - that doesn’t sound horrible!
If you have experienced the White Aura state of enlightenment, Nirvana, Moksha, what ever you wish to call it, you might appreciate that memories are not stored in the brain, but the consciousness field of subspace.
The brain is just a transceiver tuned to an individual souls frequency of the universal nonlocal waveform.
that's false. we don't store memory like hard drives that get filled up. we compartmentalize and prioritize. that's why we remember important events, but not exactly what we were doing 275 days ago at 6pm. unless we suffer serious brain damage, we don't forget our sense of self.
Always found it funny all the people that think but human mind as an endless hard drive.
Remind me about a story about a professor, who knew the name of every fish, but didn't know the name of a single student.
When a student ask why this was the case, the professor said every time he remembers the name of a student, he forgets the name of a fish.

Sleeplessness is weird. I once went 60 hours on zero sleep absolutely fine, until I fell asleep sitting upright and didn't even notice.
Another time, I starting hallucinating after only 27 hours
That's super bad for you, please try get some shuteye
The lower life expectancy back then was due to childhood and infant deaths from poor to nonexistent healthcare and medicine. People routinely lived into their 60s and 70s or more if they made it to adulthood. People do live longer more often thanks to modern medicine, but it’s not a 30 year improvement like that misleading average life expectancy number suggests.
Poor life expectancy, health, and vigour in the Civilised world compared to naturally living humans is due to diets and medical industry designed to deprive you of nutrients and symbiotic biome to keep you stupid and sick for purposes of profit and enslavement.
Yeah, we're not seeing more cancer because "people are living longer", we're seeing more cancer because commercial interests put sales over safety
They use same way of counting now too ,babys still die ,poor can't afford health care and medicine in usa ! Or or 3rd world country's
Unfortunately 3rd might not calculate is figures and USA are not known for telling the truth !
Yea but people wouldnt report or even name their kids back then untill they were at a likely age to survive and people were far more likely to die from even a stubbed toe back then cause they lived in shit and had no sanitation. Also plagues n diseases and famine. People lived till 70 but you were pretty dang lucky.

I think memory is very advanced from a human, because besides math and understanding schemes and patterns, there are a thousand of other information going on. Like past events, problems, stress, emotions and more on top of these amazing achievements. But humans are learning for decades how and what and can be receptacle for new opportunity's and knowledge. Let's say I'm an introvert person, but I see more things than other people do see things. Like entering a room and noticing small things that others skip, that can be from a chair to a crack in a wall or ceiling or a small statue. This also gives me sometimes a gut feeling in my stomach and is rarely wrong. Especially about people. Also, memory is always on from a human, even when we sleep, and that is even more advanced than any computer till this day. That's why I look differently to AI, but always with a critical state of mind. I learned this over the years, thinking critically about things and take your time with these new technologies. When I was in my twenty's I had a moment working 3 jobs per day, doing my official job, placing car stereo and alarms and late in the evening repairing electronic devices, so there were days from 96 hours. Which was 'normal' for me at that time. Without losing scope and coffee was my best friend in those days. Now I'm 56 and that hour's regime isn't possible anymore. But my memory is still fresh and helping me on a daily basis.
I went 7 weeks without food because of pancreatitis...left hospital weighing 32kg. I was so excited when I was allowed to eat but it took about a year before I could eat properly again. First thing I had was chocolate 😁
The limit is probably when we can perfectly integrate our brains into computers and basically utilize our brains as effectively as we can command a computer to do things, or integrate our brains & consciousness into a mechanical body that will live forever & has strength far exceeding anything a human could do- but at that point are we even human anymore?
If possible, complete digitization and turning our consciousness into data to the point of basically being an AI ourselves would probably the be the absolute final limit on human 'potential' where we could live as a ghost infinitely and forever inside a planet, solar system or even galaxy wide super computer/internet.
But that still just makes the question "at what point do we stop being human?" even more prevalent, the same could be said for once we start to genetically modify babies and people, or enhance our bodies with cybernetics, at what point does one stop being human?
Is it when the body is more metal and synthetic than biological? Is it when all the biological material is replaced? Is it when we finally lose our humanity, morals and critical thinking-oh wait that's something people already do so I guess it cant be that one.
sounds kinda like a 40k Servitor problem!
The "complete digitization" point would be the point of no longer being human. That only produces a copy, it would never be the original no matter what it tells itself.
@@Vaeldarg Not necessarily. If you replace your brain cells with nanomachines as they they die off over time it becomes more of a Ship of Theseus problem than being a copy of an original.
Or alternatively do a more gradual change by introducing molecules our bodies recognise as 'normal' but actually aren't until we are completely replaced. Our bodies confuse certain things as it is - usually leading to health problems. But if we figure out non-harmful alternatives we could become synthetic in a seamless manner with no loss of continuality. After all, we're still the same people we were a decade ago... right? Despite technically being completely different molecules.
Lol as a raging insomniac those sleep stats are kinda scary for me. I think the longest I've gone on absolutely no sleep is about a week. It gets hard to keep track. I used to go 4+ days about once a month. What I think doesn't get talked about is its not just being up days in end. I'm not up for 4+ days and sleeping normal the rest of the time. I might sleep an hour, be up 2 days, then get 45 min of sleep. I used to go 2 weeks on like 10hrs total sometimes, but people focus more on how long you've been up rather than the overall sleep debt accumulated. Anyways thank goodness my state allows medical marijuana. I still only average maybe 4-5hrs sleep per night but that's a huge improvement.
I'm the same way man, i barely get any sleep at all, if i am lucky i can get 1-2 hours a night. would routinely be up for 4-5 days, the longest i went was when i was forced to cold turkey off of 16mg/day of suboxone and was 15-16 days of no sleep and constant shaking, when i finally did fall asleep it was for about 10-15 minutes at a time.. I wish i had known about kratom or methadone but i didn't, i am currently on 200mg of methadone a day and still have trouble falling asleep, when that dose would normally knock people out cold for 2 days. I hope you're able to cope with it, it really is a frustrating thing, i was told to find a sleep specialist but i know i can't afford anything like that. Best of luck to you.
that sounds horrible, glad it only got super bad to me once as kid, I recall staying over a 100 hours awake, or over 4 days
That's even worse than mine, worst I get is about 50 hours of no sleep.
I went 22 days without sleep in 1995. I was having audio and visual hallucinations. However I have a very strong grasp of my mind and knew it was in my head. I was pretty out of it, and physically weak. But I then slept for 3 hours and fell right back into my sleep routine. I didn't have any side effects. I've never really had to sleep much though. I sleep 3-5 hours a night. And only ever sleep 25 mins straight, then I'm awake for 20 mins and back and fourth all night. I'm 42 and function just fine.
I've suffered three weeks without sleep in 2013.
No hallucinations. No mental degradation. But my body just felt worse and worse.
Eventually I drove to the hospital accompanied by a friend at 4am. My resting blood pressure had reached 250/140.
It is usually around 120/70.
That was the result of homicidal doctors who had forced me to take Zopaclone for 2 years, then against all emphatic warnings, suddenly dumped me off it.
I sleep no more than 1 - 2 hours a night...for at least a decade now...Numerous sleep studies and no answers...except it's Maybe hormonal. I'm 50. So I function better mentally than a colleague who is only half my age. Also, I have better short term memory than he does. My observational skills are very high, I notice all the little things others don't and am much more aware of the nuances of any issues we deal with daily.
On that data limit for the brain thing. That limit can only be close to accurate if the assumption is that each individual neuron is equivalent to a byte (smallest useful piece of data) But we know that the same inputs can often result in a myriad of possible outputs, and also that different inputs may produce the same output. This means that each neuron more likely represent multiple different posiible bytes depending on...... whatever it is that it depends on. (c'mon the lack of knowledge about the brain was disclaimed at the beginning of the video) It is also highly likely that the web of pathways the neurons form is highly complex. This means there could very well be nodes where for example, fire truck, barn, stop sign, and the traffic light for stop are all red. Its highly unlikey that your brain stores a separate neuronal pattern for red associated with each of those item, but far more likely that the pathways make a connection between a single instance of red (which itself incorporates all the different shades and tones, etc) and the other items, which in turn are connected to other nodes such as 'emergency light' for the fire truck and 'octagon' for the stop sign. That way, when you see fire truck and the node for fire truck lights up, it also lights up the areas for 'red' and ' emergency lights (which might remind you of a police car because police car is also connected to 'emergency lights' etc) Then your brain can back process the unecessary info out of whatever its delivering to your consciousness. (similzr to how your eyes are actually sensitive enough to see the flickering of a lightbulb as the AC current turns on and back off ever so many times a scond, but your brain straight just present you with the final conscious experience of not seeing the flicker. even though you brain has to do this AFTER you eyes have picked up the sensory info, but BEFORE you conscious experience of the world is processed.) With this kind of node interconnection, combined with the back processing of incoming sensory data, The entire way of storing , retrieving and processing data is fundamentally, at base level, on the foudation of concept, different from, and also more capable than a standard computer. So unless we can figure out HOW the brain process information, which will lead us to how it stores information, there can be no way of knowing what exactly the limit is. Just my not-a-scientist, unprofessional, i-think-its-logical-though opinion on the matter....allegedly! :P
Isn't it weird your brain knows how it works but it won't tell you
I used to be in a group that practiced fasting and I can tell you that out of the thousands that were in the group, with even the new people, 3 days without water isn't a limit at all. Pretty regular to see people go 4-5 days dry fasting (I've done 4 days dry) but I really wouldn't recommend past that regardless. And as long as you aren't a hard diabetic or have some particular health issues, food you can basically go for as long as you have body fat, though when fasting it's not a bad idea to take a multivitamin for the duration.
Did you do any physical activity when dry fasting? Do you live in humid conditions? Did you shower?
@@RECTALBURRITO If we are talking dry fasting, I generally don't recommend pushing yourself at all exercise-wise. Try it on a weekend or something. Though I have seen tons knock out insulin resistance and non-severe diabetics reset and reverse it within a month or two, I don't recommend it to anything beyond that; so obviously be smart about it. If you are type 2 diabetic, you'd want to start with a keto diet or such, then monitor your sugar, then once you're body has more control of insulin prod, then you can try. Anyways, reason I don't recommend exercise during this routine is you're body can't make enough water on it's own, taking hydrogen from things like fat and oxygen from breathing. But I will say because of autophagy and getting rid of old cells, it does wonders to skin. Tend to look younger skin-wise, helps with scars, even helped with my slight eczema. Obvious fast fat loss once you hit ketosis but faster than anything since your body uses hydrogen to make small amounts of water. You will gain maybe half back because it is water but the fat lost is on you and your follow up plan after the fast Like with any diet/regiment. But I will say after you hit ketosis, you gain control of food back and can easily say no to things once in usually, you allow your organs to reset and heal, etc. Because when it comes down to it, no cleansing diet will compete against what the organs can do, so optimize those if you want to be healthy.
Water fasting is a different story though as far as exercising. Walking is great for insane fat lose, though drink salt/potassium water part of the day if you do (read below). It will boost your energy and you'll feel better during the fast, trust me (night and day). I generally recommend water fasting more since you get most of the benefits without the unnecessary taxing from hydration. Though if you do water fasting, I recommend adding a bit of salt and "no salt" (found in stores; potassium) to some (not all) the water you sip as you will be p^ssing electrolytes and you'll feel much better adding it. 2 liter of water, 1 tsp of (no salt), 1/2 tsp salt, maybe even 1/2 tsp magnesium (epsom salt - food grade). sip it throughout the day. I will say though, just like the keto diet, you will run into the keto flu (headache and feel bogged down) for a day or so if you slam a ton of carbs going into a fast. I generally just go to bed early to get past it. Good luck.
@@brianhartling7767 that seems helpful. When I was 17 I fasted, without food, but with liquids, sugars and salts, for 4 days this causing me to lose 60lbs over the next 2 weeks. The only time I did a "water fast" was in a specialized training, and it was about 90°F and very humid. I fainted after day 2 and needed IV saline, which is as you know, salts, potassium, b vitamins, and water. I resumed training the next day. I personally am not in need of fasting, even though I am healthy, I do have epilepsy caused by many traumatic brain injuries. I personally would never try to pursue such a thing without trauma care, BUT I will say you can safely fast for possibly 4-5 days for a healthy adult. (I'm not a medical professional) I think every person is different hence, how someone can go 24 min without Oxygen, thank you for the information though.10/10 wouldn't advise. Lol

You need to check your scripts more guys. A neuron isn't a clump of cells. It's a cell. And neurons AFAIK aren't known to store anything. My knowledge may be outdated but last I knew changes in how individual neurons are connected are the best understanding we have of memories in general.
Yeah and adults have closer to 6litrrs than 6pints, along with a half dozen other errors in this script lol.
The gist is generally correct and the stories are fun. If anyone values accuracy over everything else they are welcome to read a textbook lol
I wonder if a new neuron has a conversation with the one it's replacing and acquires whatever it holds in terms of memory and then basically says, "I'll take over from here."
The longest I ever worked straight without sleep was about 90 hours. I saw the movie Black Dog when I was a teen and thought it was just trucker stories. Nope, it is real, which I later found out was hallucinations. For me, it was the shadow of a greyhound running across the road in front of me. Just the shadow, devoid of a body. I knew I had pushed too hard. Luckily, I was only 5 minutes from a truck stop. As soon as I laid down in the sleeper I was completely out, and didn't wake up once for 16.5 hours.
I stopped running so hard after that. I don't stay up more that 40 hours anymore.

There are memorising techniques that enable anybody with a fairly normal functioning brain to memorise entire libraries. Derren Brown will attest to that. Our brains are akin to the entire universe. And the only human organ to name itself. 🧠
Think about the ancient poets/storytellers such as ginger Homer and the mental gymnastics they would have had to perform in order to be able to consistently recall, and eventually embellishing on the stories they were telling. The great majority of human history only made it to us this far on the back of humanity's capacity for memory.

You people have had it easy. I've had medical issues that had causes severe pain where I'd be awake for a week at a time until the pain went away. Once when a disc herniated in my spine, I went 10 days without sleep other than 10 minutes here and there.
I had a bulging disc that pushed on the nerves of the left side of my lower half, it was painful, i couldn't sleep on my bed since sleeping on something soft would lead to me bending forward thus putting more pressure on the nerves and giving me severe pain and what can be described as an electric shock, add to that numbness in my feet, the constant feeling of "tv static" and feeling the sciatica nerve being tense like a rope pulled from both sides thus not allowing me to move my toes, i was used to sleeping in the fetal position and accidentally doing it while sleeping makes me wake up screaming in pain, let's see what else, feeling of burning in that spot where the nerve is pushed, pain in my left nut and the left half of my penis and also the constant adjustments i did to my standing position in order to not bend forward gave me anterior pelvic tilt which I just noticed and just started working on fixing. It was a pain I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, yet I wonder what does this have to do with the video

I was awake for 72+ hours before, without stimulant drugs. Hallucinations where real! I also knew a crackhead (for real smoked crack) that was awake for almost 2 weeks if I remember correctly. By the end of it he was totally out of his mind, locked in a closet, dressed like a rabbit and truly thought he was one! He slept for like 4 days only waking up briefly for food and to use a bathroom. I honestly don't know how he survived that! Don't do drugs!

Fatal Familial Insomnia
@lisabarraclough5957 Yeah but they don't die BECAUSE of the lack of sleep; the death is caused by secondary issues that are a result of a lack of sleep. The only incident I have been able to find was a mouse but they had to devise a terrible contraption that would keep it awake without any physical harm and even that took over a month if I recall.
Its a bit like old age - doesn't directly kill you, just makes it easier to die from something else. I imagine sleep deprivation disrupts organ regulation, causing irregular heartrates or similar complications.

I once knew someone who claimed they knew pi to the first 10,000 digits. So I asked them to tell me the 666th, 5013th and 9999th digit. They said they could only repeat the numbers in order so clearly they didn't 'know' the pi to 10,000 digits ...
I'd say that's actually pretty normal for any long string of numbers or letters. I'd imagine anyone that knew pi would absolutely need to start at the beginning and do them in order. Most people probably can't even jump into the middle of the alphabet and know what comes next. I need to start at January to know the order of months. Drivers license numbers, SSNs, account numbers etc... I'd imagine most things people need to recite sequentially.
67,000 was the original cap on Pi? How in the hell can one remember that many numbers in sequence? This literally makes me feel stupid as hell and I thought I was at least average.
After 392 days without food, I wonder what the first thing he ate was?! Id probably go with a triple cheeseburger! Or 10!!
After that long I bet the body would reject solid food.
Nope. Going that long without food makes a proper meal a VERY bad idea. You will need to ease into a normal diet. If you go more than a few weeks without food, you'll start with some kind of liquid diet, likely resembling the milk and formula given to infants, followed by tasty mush resembling baby food. Basically, you'll spend weeks to months working your way back to a cheeseburger.

I can't find anywhere else that says 15 babies were ever born at once; the highest I'm finding is 10. Where'd you guys get 15?

So it's not 15 born, it's 15 held in the womb at once. Unfortunately the 15 had to be removed due to unrelated medical issues. It happened in 1971 Italy reported by Dr. Gennaro Montanino.
So the born at once thing appears to have been a mistranslation. (They were born through C-section and some apparently lived so it's debatable which way you look at it)

How on Gods green earth can one survive without food for more then a year?! O.o
23 lbs 9 oz
that kid aint ever hearing the end of it from mom..
I want to hear about the people who went that long without food, water, + air.
I recall the following: Three weeks without food, three days without water, three minutes without air.
@@SpamMouse Yeah, I mean I'd like to know more about the people he cited in the video + how they achieved that.
I thought he saved all the coke for the blaze,,,
7:40 That's ridiculous. The "M" in CMB is for "Microwave", and we know how to block microwave radiation. We do it all the time.
In fact, every time you heat something in a ...Wait for it!
...microwave oven...
you are shielded from that microwave radiation by a simple, thin sheet of metal, one that has holes in it so you can watch your food cook.
In fact, the size of the holes is a direct clue as to how long the wavelengths are.
Hint: They're just a wee bit longer than the holes in the screen. And that's why they stay inside the oven: They can't fit through the holes, and, therefore, they can't escape the oven to cause harmful effects.
So when you say that we can't block the CMB, that's just ignorance speaking. Or, maybe it's laziness on the part of your writer.
Either way, it's just plain wrong.
Impossible to swallow. I see what you did there.
How did that guy go a year without food? I don't buy it. He must have been drinking a slurry with nutrients in it.
Google Angus barbieri. He was obese and took vitamins, minerals, electrolytes and water, as well as nutritional yeast on occaision. Cool story actually
@@themoojuice89Technically those things are foods. So he was eating food products.
9:48 uh...source? I can't find anything about a woman giving birth to 15 babies at once. Pretty sure the record is 8?
Record for surviving babies is 9 in 2021
I'm not even french, but I know that was the worst pronunciation of Jeanne Calment ever uttered in the history of mankind 😂. Slightly forgiven by the fact you clearly misread the name, but still surprising there aren't more people calling it out in the comments. Guess this channel isn't big in baguette speaking countries 😜
Simon sad that immortality is impossible
Doctors have demonstrated u can train to withstand the cold? U mean Wim Hoff has thats what i hate about most scientists the ones that aren't closed minded claim we live in a simulation so y where they calling Wim a hippie because he said he doesn't get sick due to cold training but when they finally research him like he asked all of a sudden its the doctors that studded him that get the credit for him helping human mental/physical health
Stop thinking of a brains as a memory storage. It’s not a giant microchip it’s mega forest of neurons communicating with one another.
So much info around the oldest living people is skewed by racism. Due to slave trades and other racially and ethnically violent practices, "scientifically acceptable" proof of birth is difficult for BIPOC people around the world. A woman in Cuba lived to be around 129, but since she was born during a time when Native communities and enslaved Africans had no documentation of birth.
I've suffered three weeks without sleep in 2013.
No hallucinations. No mental degradation.
But my body just felt worse and worse.
Eventually I drove to the hospital accompanied by a friend at 4am. My resting blood pressure had reached 250/140.
It is usually around 120/70. Even now in my mid fifties.
That was the result of homicidal doctors who had forced me to take Zopaclone for 2 years, then against all emphatic pharmaceutical company warnings, suddenly dumped me off it.
BS! Two reasons I know this, No1 "No hallucinations. No mental degradation"
No2 "That was the result of 'homicidal doctors' who had 'forced me to take Zopaclone' for 2 years", including the spelling mistake!
Doctors have no way to force you to take medication, I've stopped different types of medication for different reason, long story short, one of which was due to it being prescribed rather than sort the real issue out, so I had to while on Dialysis.
C section isn't birth, it's surgery.
Thanks to the power of drugs I can promise you it’s possible to stay awake longer than 11 days as I have done it myself
one of my friend didnt sleep for 2 whole weeks high on pcp and speed ;) world record
8lbs of skin, you've not met my ex 😂😂😂
the average age is 62.3 years of age in the UK. slightly higher for woman.
that's average age of a healthy person, none smoker,none drinker,
Average UK life expectancy is approx 81yrs wtf u talking about, 62.3 is some third world shit lol
@@themoojuice89 have a Google at nhs government numbers...not some random website. 63.3 years is a healthy none
👍
i stay awake for 6-7 days every other month been doing it for 10 years , should try it , will change the way u look at things forever
yo
How can you not at least consider intelligent creation after listening to this.
Because we could also have a list of all the dumbly "designed" bits. Our human capacities are also lower than many animals, we are not the fastest, nor the strongest, we don't have the best eye sight or sense of smell. What we do have is a body that is finely tuned by evolutionary pressures to thrive in the environment in which we developed 100,000 or more years ago.
Pointing out one pr two extreme cases and using that to justify belief in some designer, but ignoring all the other points that strongly point against it just choosing to believe what you want and cherry picking data to support it. And claiming these achievements are awe inspiring is only because they are unusual in our experience. They are not unusual for other creatures. In other words, the amazement is not objective, only subjective.
@@QBCPerdition except the universe itself intelligently designed itself. Wave-particle duality, observation paradox, double slit experiment all point to a smart intelligence.
@@alshahriar6230 I don't see how any of those things point to intelligence
@@alshahriar6230 No it points to that being the way things are. Path of least resistance. "Intelligent design" is just laziness - no effort at understanding why things are the way they are.
The outer limits? Your French is execrable.
