How long can the average person go without blinking?

Maybe one or two minutes.

Then, if a person doesn’t strain too much, his eyelids will close almost “by themselves.”

However, in 2021, one of the residents of India managed to become the author of an incredible achievement.

Anand Haridas did not close his eyes… for a little over an hour and a half.

How an Indian set a record

One summer day in 2021, Haridas decided not to blink for a long time.

Moreover, the man’s goal was not at all to set a record.

The Indian simply wanted to meditate, choosing an unusual tantric practice.

Haridas "cleared his mind" for 1 hour and 31 minutes. During this entire time, the Indian resident did not blink once.

Important warning: Do not attempt to repeat or break this record!

Refusing to blink for a long time can cause serious health problems.

Don't forget: closing your eyelids is very important. Without this process, your eyes won't clear out dust particles.

In addition, without blinking, the mucous membrane of the eyes does not receive normal moisture.

Risking your health for the sake of setting strange records is definitely not worth it!
