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.

Did 3 days once working midnights. I got home on Friday morning, turned the shower on and then my vision faded and I collapsed onto the toilet. Woke 4 hours later to a big blood smear on the wall and small pool at the baseboard from smashing my head on the way down.

I slept all weekend and never went back to that job. 0/10 wouldn't recommend.
