In 2016, 25-year-old American Alejandro Fragoso set an unusual record.

The young man watched TV for… 94 hours straight.

All this time the man did not take his eyes off the screen.

Yes, sometimes Fragoso fell asleep. But his eyes remained open.

How the record for longest TV viewing was set

The television “marathon” was held in the spring of 2016.

New York City programmer Alejandro Fragoso sat down in front of the TV and started watching programs.

Watching television programs continued for almost four days.

During this period, the young man did not go to bed (although he fell asleep several times while sitting and with his eyes open).

Fragoso lasted 94 hours. And this achievement is mentioned in the Guinness Book of Records.

Perhaps the television "marathon" would have continued for several more hours. But the doctors who were constantly monitoring the young man's condition came to the conclusion that it was necessary to stop the "experiment".

The fact is that the man had tachycardia. Other problems were also identified.

Let us warn you right away: do not try to beat Alejandro Fragoso's record. Such "telethons" are very dangerous for your health.
