HEY THERE! WELCOME TO LIFE NOGGIN!
-
BLOCKO: We've talked before about the importance of sleep and just how much you should try
-
and get every night, but we haven't seen what it would be like if you didn't sleep
-
at all.
-
Obviously please don't try this.
-
It's just hypothetical.
-
james: AHHH!
-
Blocko: ...uh…
-
James: Where am I and why am i so pointy!?
-
Blocko: Animator, why does he get a face!?
-
James: Hey, aren't you Block Man from...uh...Life Nugget.
-
Blocko: Close enough. I guess.
-
Who are you?
-
James: I'm James from TheOdd1sOut
-
Blocko: Oh yeah!
-
I know you!
-
You're normally a lot rounder.
-
James: But now i'm looking sharp!
-
Both: AYYYY!
-
Blocko: So, i don't know if you're busy after crashing through a giant portal in the sky,
-
but do you wanna help me with this video?
-
James: Sure! What's it about?
-
Blocko: Oh, it's on what would happen if you didn't sleep for a week!
-
James: Oh yeah i can definitely help with this one.
-
So, going without sleep for a week does sound like a long time, but you wouldn't win any
-
awards for doing it.
-
There has actually been an extensively documented case.
-
Someone stayed awake for about 11 days, or nearly 265 hours.
-
This came from Randy Garner, a high school student in San Diego, California.
-
There have been other reports since then of people staying awake even longer, but Garner
-
gave a well-recorded history on the upper limits of the human body.
-
He did it as part of an experiment for his science fair, breaking Tom Rounds' previous
-
record of 260 hours.
-
All that for a science fair?
-
I would have just stuck with the baking soda volcano
-
...or ya know, literally anything else!
-
Blocko: But what might happen to /you/ if you stayed up for a week?
-
After your first night awake, you might get lost in your video games until the sun surprises
-
you through your window.
-
This is because even 24 hours without sleep can lead to an altered sense of time and a
-
sensitivity to light and brightness.
-
As you progress into your sleepless week, you'll most likely notice your emotions
-
going a bit wonky.
-
You may not feel as positive and be easily irritated or disappointed.
-
You could also experience memory issues and have trouble staying alert.
-
Losing sleep can also weaken the body's ability to fend off illnesses.
-
You shouldn't be operating any machinery either because your chances of getting into
-
an accident are heavily increased.
-
Some have even said staying up for extended periods of time have caused them to have hallucinations,
-
but there's still a bit of skepticism on this.
-
Oh that's not a hallucination.
-
Sometimes that just happens.
-
James: Beyond, ya know, just choosing to do so, there's also medical conditions that make it difficult
-
for people to get to sleep, and they can be pretty serious.
-
One of these is called exploding head syndrome.
-
It's not actually as cool as it sounds., It's so much worse.
-
It's where a person experiences extremely loud noises, like an explosion or a booming
-
thunderclap, as they're drifting off to sleep or waking up.
-
People dealing with high levels of stress and mental or physical fatigue seem to be
-
more likely to have exploding head syndrome.
-
It can truly be terrifying and really interfere with their sleep.
-
Exploding heads, Good for cartoons….not for people.
-
Blocko: Another condition is called fatal familial insomnia, where patients have symptoms such
-
as progressive insomnia, weight loss, extreme body temperatures, and rapidly progressing
-
dementia.
-
There's currently no effective treatment or cure for it, and death typically occurs
-
within 12-18 months of a person's first symptoms.
-
But that doesn't mean we're not trying to learn more about it.
-
A recent study of 5 patients used SPECT and PET scans to reveal that basal ganglia and
-
the cerebral cortex were also affected by fatal familial insomnia.
-
This is important because, based off of a previous study, it was found that basal ganglia
-
are important in regulating sleep-wake behaviors.
-
Hopefully, with further research, we can better learn how to care for this dangerous disease
-
and one day find a cure.
-
James: Serious conditions aside, sleep deprivation doesn't seem to always be a bad thing though.
-
Not encouraging staying up all night and playing video games though.
-
Based on a recent study, sleep deprivation might be an effective antidepressant, as it
-
rapidly reduced symptoms of depression in roughly half of the depression patients in
-
the analysis.
-
Their results are really quite interesting.
-
But all in all, I'd say that sleep is pretty darn important and you should try your best
-
to keep that brain of yours well-rested, at least in most cases.
-
Sometimes you just gotta stay up and finish that youtube video.
-
Blocko: Rather than trying to see how long you can stay awake, it would be way cooler if we tried
-
to beat the world record for the largest sleepover party.
-
It's only 2,004 people!
-
If more people fall through that giant portal thing then we can probably beat that record.
-
Actually never mind.
-
Let's get out of here.
-
Why!? It looks so friendly!
-
Who's a good fish monster!?
-
So how long have you stayed up for? Let me know in the comment section below!
-
