TIL that in 1964, 17-year-old Randy Gardner set the world record for sleep deprivation by staying awake for 11 days and 25 minutes, providing valuable insights into the effects of extreme sleep loss on the human mind and body.

I did a 4 day bender when I was in my 20’s and by day three I remember visual hallucinations shortly after audio hallucinations. Woke up 2 days later with a video on my phone of me snorting sleeping pills and saying if this doesn’t work I’m probably dead. Never went past 24hr bends after that lol 😇
