Sleep is an important component of a healthy human life: any abnormalities can lead to serious consequences.
Therefore, anything that in one way or another deviates from the norm is of interest to both scientists and ordinary people.
What are some world records related to sleep?
11 days of insomnia
Few people can go 24 to 48 hours without sleep and still feel good. However, one young man managed to stay awake for eleven days.
This world record has not yet been broken by anyone. It is noteworthy that it was set during a special scientific experiment.
Twenty Year Sleep
A curious incident occurred in the fifties of the last century. One young woman had a big fight with her husband and went to bed.
The girl was 34 years old at the time.
She managed to wake up only after two decades. But this is not the most surprising fact. During her rest, the woman did not age in appearance: she looked as if she had gone to bed only yesterday.
The body also did not experience any age-related changes. This case is truly unique.
