Some people cannot function properly if they have slept six hours instead of the required eight.
Others look fresh even after a sleepless night.
However, it is worth understanding that lack of rest always causes damage to the body. It is difficult to find a person who could not sleep for several days in a row.
But the Guinness Book of Records features a man whose achievements will surprise anyone.
How long do you have to stay awake to set a world record?
It is noteworthy that this achievement was established back in the sixties of the last century. But the result was so impressive that no one could surpass it.
The young man was able to hold out for more than 11 days.
It is noteworthy that this achievement was carried out under the supervision of scientists from Stanford. Experts at that time were studying various aspects of sleep.
It is also worth noting that the record holder did not note any particular negative consequences of such an experiment. However, the scientific director revealed them. Therefore, attempts to break such a record are extremely dangerous.
