@@dylanshaw2804 Apologies if I’ve offended you. What I’m implying is Joe could easily be putting on more weight right now. I’m aware he’s recovering from tonsillitis but we all can make up excuses. Bottom line is even when your sick you have to eat like a dog to keep what you’ve worked so hard for.
@@lucasliftslight In that case, I doubt you've ever experienced the pain he had to go through. It's unbearable pain and your appetite would be terrible. Sometimes you have to prioritise your own health over maintaining your aesthetics. And you haven't offended me if you are thinking about commenting that, was just helping you understand that you've got to understand your limits.
did this yesterday travelling back from the USA to the UK, sleeping on planes is impossible for me. Lasted 33 hours before hibernating. Insane you managed to last that long on just a couple coffees!!
Lol I just came back from Antigua yesterday morning, also didn't sleep a wink on the 9 hour flight, and stayed up the whole day back in London, probs around 30 hours aswell.
The most I couldn't sleep was 3 days. It was 2 years ago . I went to a different university in a different city to confess my love. I couldn't sleep for days, I tried a lot however I closed my eyes for few hours but never got even a 5 min nap..
Yeah, this hits home for me. Just half a year ago i had to stay awake for 42 hours. I woke up at 6 am on the first day. Went to university, then got home in the evening. I had to work on two projects. I have been making them all night, one of them i had to present the following morning. On the way to the uni, i nearly collapsed from exhaustion standing in the middle of the subway carriage. Anyways, i succesfully got to the university, presented the project, got 10/10. After the presentation i had to attend university lessons all day (on this exact god damn day classes were scheduled to end at 9 pm). I got home completely broken and after that i got my 13 hours of sleep. Guys, don't neglect good sleeping habits. It is the key for the productivity. I will do my best to avoid such things in the future. The psychological well-being is way more important than some studies.
@@BritHumorBanter One of them was, but i wouldn't say that the main reason was bad time management. It was just an unfortunate combination of personal and professional circumstances that led to burning deadlines and me spending a sleepless night. So you don't need to worry. As a rule, universities don't require you to spend countless sleepless nights. It usually depends on what you study, but if you are not a crazy perfectionist, you will do just fine. I am a law student, and usually i spend not more than 2 sleepless nights a year.
Me and a friend did this when I was 16 and he was 18. It was the middle of summer during a heatwave in 2010. We lasted just under 72 hours. It got to a point where I was extremely agitated by everything and literally hallucinated whilst staring at my hallway carpet at my dad's house. We lasted this long by staying outside mostly, walking around my hometown at 3am waiting for the sun to come out and our other friends to come out and join us haha. Good times.
Lmao yea me and some friends went a whole day got drunk at the end and all felt like absolute shit we were like 16 played video games trampoline lifted arm wrestled 😂😂😂😂 I’d do anything to go back to that
I was homeless (March 2016 to August 2018) for 29 months straight, in my early 50's. It wasn't the cold or lack of food that was the hardest, it was the sleep deprivasion by far, no question.
I actually slept like a baby in prison and I can totally see why homeless folks would want to be in prison. In a perfect world we would take much better care of our less fortunate. How many times do you drive by empty distribution centers and warehouses and stuff. They could easily, with minimal costs, and some donations, be made into shelters and programs for the homeless.
I was homeless between '18 & '22 & yeah, the sleep deprivation was rough until I found a big park that has a huge creek with an island in the middle at the bottom of a 20 foot embankment. Slept great almost every night, better than that, though was the fact that I never got hasselled.
Goodness the word “underrated” has made its way into another YT comment section and it’s about sleep. Is there a YT comment section in existence where the word underrated isn’t used?
I've had this sleep problem that started when i was in high school, got depressed and couldnt sleep for 3 days straight, felt like a walking zombie. After experiencing that, my sleep schedule was so fked up, i would go to sleep at 9 am and the next day at 10 am and the next day at 11 am and so goes on, that went for about 2 or 3 years i forgot. Im okay now cuz its fixed, i happily sleep at 3 am or so everyday. Never knew all i needed was to be loved and feel love i know its cringey but it fixed me ( and sleeping pills for about a month lol ) Get urself a good sleep guys ✨️
As someone who suffered with chronic insomnia this is very relatable. The worst part is when you start losing the sense of reality and seeing people and flashing lights and hearing things. Sleep is the difference maker in having a decent quality of life and if you’re not getting any then your brain just shuts down. It made me go from around 145 lbs to 128lbs in 6 weeks as I couldn’t even go to the gym.
I relate as well, chronic insomnia here too. Started 9 years ago and been prescribed almost all the pills you could think of, eventually I build up tolerance and stop responding. I’m in 50th hour now and it became so causal for me. I know I’ll stay up for at least the next 15 hours. My brain feels a bit numb and there is pressure in the back. I feel nauseated as well but that’s about it. Typical reoccurring experience. But I know in 10 hours hell will start and I’m extremely scared. No matter how many times I experience it a week I never got used to the paranoia that hits and the noises. I also become aggressive and unaware of my surroundings. The headaches as you know start around the 24-30 hour mark and they only get worse after that. No matter how scared I am of the next 10-15 hours I can never escape it. I’ve tripled my pill dose to at least get an hour of sleep but it’s to no avail. I feel really cold as well and sounds sound like they’re coming from an alternate reality. As if they’re attacking me but at the same time they keep coming and disappearing. I could go on and on but I’m sure you already struggle with everything I mentioned.
@@keshidawgieswhat do u do in the time that you are awake for 50 hrs? Are u in bed trying to fall asleep but you're on your phone? Now that's my problem
@@keshidawgiesomy gad girl same for me its 24 h no sleep and then bext day so its 48hours of not even 5 minutes in .... i feel horrible and i tried to commut duicide many times please guys hang in there !
Going this much without sleep really reminds how important it is. Getting good sleep is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Feel better physically and mentally as opposed to getting bad sleep.
A family member of mine is in the military and in a position of command. He mentioned that when they first went into Iraq , he didn't sleep for the first 4 days until his lads had slept. Im tired after being awake a few hours lol
I did this in the Army! It was hellish! At hour 30 or so the drills brought us into a room with lights shut off for recruits to watch a training video, and if anyone fell asleep they got smoked big time! I managed to stay awake, only because I bit my tongue so hard it almost bled in my mouth, the pain kept me awake! In the Army there's really no time to sleep.
Had a buddy a very long time ago (no longer fiends with said buddy) that attempted his own “sleep study” or “experiment” if you will. And he tried to see how long he could go on with as little sleep as possible. Made it like 2 weeks or so only sleeping for like 30 minutes every couple of hours. He ended up in the hospital from sleep deprivation and he started hallucinating and became very Ill. Don’t recommend that at all haha this reminded me of that time. Crazy how important sleep is!
I didn’t sleep for almost a week (not on purpose)and I had a psychotic break honestly don’t think he should have done this even for views it could cause permanent damage :(
Yes, sleeping is a real deal. When I was a teenager, I was a mess. As an all time PC gamer who played like 16-18 hours straight. It was in my 16-18 years with my cousin. We drank about 20 energy drinks on Saturdays, sometimes we even had blood coming out of our noses, or we got dizzy, even I started to faint (I didn't even know what that was). I think 2 or 3 times I was awake for like 50 hours but then I started having problems all over my body. Sometimes I would have seizures, other times I would pass out without logic. My parents really freaked out back then. But since I finished high school, I started working a lot, sometimes like 12 hours a day and my body started shutting down, I would come home super tired and my body would just take me to bed, and I would fall asleep instantly. Every day I played less online games due to my exhaustion until I quit. I started to have a life, going out with friends, met a girl, and left video games behind. Today I am 37 years old, and I sleep 4-5 hours a day, but I take a 2-3 hour nap and I feel fine. I had to give up energy drinks, from time to time in a meeting I'd take a monster but no more than that.
@@2ndBallScratchGolfer not 6 consecutive hours of sleep though. He never once hit REM sleep. The hospital trip pretty much said what the fuck I’m on about.
Since I was an extreme procrastinator, I once stayed up all night to study for an exam the next day. Since I don't drink coffee because of the side effects of caffeine (while ironically not sleeping all night) I actually managed to stay up for 38 hours without caffeine, waking up at 8 on day 1, and going to sleep at 10pm on day 2. Just like you, staying up overnight was ok, and keeping my body moving by going to school kept me awake without too much torture. However, when I sat anywhere such as the metro, and stopped moving on day 2, the tiredness is excruciating. I felt a light sense of itchiness coming from within the head and shoulder area. And finally being able to close your eyes and sleep is the most satisfying thing ever. Great video!
@@JoeFazer why did you make that video a while back where you tried to see how fast you could run 3 miles in a week and you said you ended up running it in 22 mins? That's clearly a lie and unrealistic. Why would you lie to your audience like that, you should have at least made it realistic and believable
I would expect someone who is an ectomorph like Joe (and myself) who lifts would be able to run a 5k (3.1 miles) in under 30 minutes pretty easily. 21 seems like a big of a stretch to me though too…
I am 36 years old, and I can still stay awake all night without any particular problems, although I do start to feel very uncomfortable the next evening, and usually go to sleep at around 7 PM or so. Then I wake up the next morning some time in 5 AM or so, and feel awesome again. I think my longest time so far has been about 45 hours, when I was about 20 years old.
Ive done 52 hours crabbing loaading my boat dumping our pots and coming in loading someone elses pots going back out and dumping there gear shit sucked
Yeah when you are young, many things are possible. I cant say i didnt regret things, now im 31 years old and i have high blood pressure. All things you do to yourself will have consequences, sooner or later. Take care of yourselves :)
I like how Joe tries to go for a workout even though he just exhausts himself even more... this man does anything to get a couple of extra clips in the video ha ha love the variety of your content
Great video once again, Joe!! When I started working out, my two main mistakes were lack of sleep and not eating enough (not being in a caloric surplus). I always thought I was eating enough and was disappointed because my weight stagnated. Then I got my first diet plan created (I think it was from Nextlevel diet iirc). I realised that my previous food intake was way below my needs, although I thought I'm good. At the beginning it was hard to eat 3000 kcal in a day, but I got used to it. I started noticing real gains and it felt amazing. Even my sleep schedule fixed itself naturally. I wish I'd understood the importance of diet earlier.
@@azukichiu if you are going by a calorie-restrictive diet long-term, your body will keep itself awake until it finds food. Some could say its a primal behavior humans have.
I've found, as someone who pulls all nighters fairly often, that your body will act very tired when im supposed to be asleep but when i should normally wake up, even if I didnt sleep, my body acts as though a new day has begun and im not longer tired, which seems similar to your situation after that first 24 hours
Yeah I almost always sleep regularly but I remember at my gymnasium graduation I went around partying etc all night, and the next day when I finally got home at like 12 I thought I'd sleep for ages. But as you said, it turned out my body was ready for the day and I couldn't even fall asleep.
I've pulled an all nighter and then had trouble getting to sleep the next night, so I've kind of experienced a similar period without sleep. One weird thing is you start thinking you see insects or tiny shit, and your mind comes up with a lot of bad ideas that you think are genius.
Seen the insects, one time a weird black blob materialized in front of me and it scared the shit out of me, I've also had auditory hallucinations like hearing songs in random noise.
@@potjeh5518 Sounds like the time I was on the bus home from work after 3 days without sleep, I saw a shadow of a person and they were in the middle of the road and I screamed thinking it was a person about to be run over but nothing happened... except a few funny looks at the girl screaming on the bus... 😅 Once hallucinated a packet of crisps flying across my room at uni.
@@nexgen696 Ah lol, i usually get really sleep deprived on exam weeks, but one of my friends used to be an amphetamine addict and binged without sleep for days. He told me about a time he had a conversation with his sister and his dad came into the room asking him who is he talking to. That was 3 days without sleep too, i only went like max 40ish hours.
Suffered from insomnia since I was 16 and had my final exams, since then I've not slept for multiple days in a row on some occasions. After 3 days without sleep in my uni dorms I started hallucinating- could have sworn a packet of crisps flew across my room. Used to how micro-naps in lectures. Another time I hallucinated a guy stood in the middle of the road when I was on the bus, screamed in terror as the bus was about to get run over, when nothing happened I felt super embarrassed. I rarely have 3 or 4 days without sleep now but I do often go 24-48 hours without sleeping and it's not fun. That blurry eyed feeling is horrible, and there's a huge sense of disassociation, I usually feel like things aren't real when I'm so tired.
I cured my insomnia with cbti it actually works i followed all the advice from a sleep channel called insomnia talks on youtube . At peak insomnia id get 4 hours a night sleep . I now sleep 8 hours. The last time i got a bad night sleep was 3 weeks ago i only had 6 hours but its fine i no longer panic that i will never sleep i no sleep will come
I'm very late to the party but I can emphathise. I suffered from encephalitis at 2 years old from a vaccination which hospitalised me for 2 years. During which my parents were told "I wouldn't make the night" on a regular basis while given the highest doses of opiates given in the history of that hospital more than any adult as a toddler. From the age of 4 I regularly went without sleep for 3-4 nights and no medication would alleviate it. The only exception was to be put under anesthetic. Fast forward 30 years and nothings changed but I did find my own ways of medicating. Once a fortnight I'd buy a litre of whiskey and 2 grams of weed and I'd consume asmuch as possible as quickly as possible til I passed out. Unfortunately I am no longer able to do this and over the years my ability to understand what people are saying is diminishing and I am unable to artuculate words properly resulting in mumbling. Severe depression, anxiety, constant headaches, eye strain and the thought of self-deleting. Anywho I did go without sleep for 11 days once and it was the most sickening almost psychedelic experience mixed with an unhealthy dose of schizophrenia. I never knew but as a fellow insomniac apparently the projected lifespan isn't too good. Fingers crossed for you too.
My record for the most hours gone without sleep is about 42 hours or around there. The longer I stayed awake, the easier it got to stay up, I was like not tired tbh after 20 hours in.
I have extremely severe insomnia since being a child. Have no issues being up 36-48hrs at a time for over a decade all the time. Scary thing is I don’t feel worse. Praying it somehow changes
I remember at my lowest with my mental health, I went 4 days without sleep. To this day because of that, I have to take sleeping meds to be able to sleep. I feel your pain man, sleep is a beautiful thing
As someone who once had insomnia for close to 2 years… I hate stuff like this…. Insomnia is Hell. I was depressed almost daily and went days without feeling a moment of happiness. I had to reach down into the deepest parts of my soul just to push through doing most everyday tasks. Never feeling fully rested, ever… why someone would do this as a “fun challenge” makes no sense to me whatsoever. Don’t fuck around with your sleep. It is a cornerstone for your physical & mental health and it needs to be respected.
very interesting video, but I wish you could include some content like what happens to your brain and body when you stay awake so long so people could understand and appreciate the importance of sleep even more. But still, a very good job. Keep going !
Hey joe I just wanna say thank you so much, you have inspired me so much and probably loads of others, i absolutely love your channel mate, thank you so much. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
My record is 50 solid hours of not sleeping.I woke up at 10 am on Wednesday.Had some classes and went to study with a friends of mine.We studied up until 4 am the next day, and I decided not to sleep, because I needed to get some work done for an exam the same day.After the exam (Which started at 18:00 on Thursday) I went back to my dorm and had to get ready to hit the club.Went there, got drunk, went back to the dorm at 6 am on Friday, didn't sleep, because the day before (The day of the exam) a teacher of mine didn't accept the work I did and had to redo everything.At 10 am on Friday I went to uni to see the teacher (partially drunk), waited for a while, he accepted all papers I had prepared for him, went back home at 12 am or 1 pm and fell asleep immediately.If my math is correct, that would make 50-51 hours of not sleeping.I'm almost in the same situation right now.I'll go to sleep in about an hour or two, and the next time that I'll go to sleep will be in 3-4 days from now.I'm not doing it because I want, but because it needs to be done (2nd year mechanical engineering).I'll do an update after the "experiment" lol
It’s not a competition and sleep deprivation is serious. Just to share the longest I have been without sleep is unfortunately 100+ hours. Bipolar manic episode makes it pretty much impossible, plus you feel amazing most of the time.
@@trailer_trash_Barbie I’m really sorry to hear that. After the 100+ hours mentioned above I had to spend a week in the hospital. Quetiapine helps a lot now though.
@@gregbearne2195 yes I ended up in the hospital too!! That med u take makes me sleep walk and go crazy 🤪 I take a Xanax bar now at night to knock my butt out. Those 5 6 days I was awake was pure hell my mind would not shut off I was not on anything. Then I finally snapped and did some crazy stuff I don't remember at all. It's horrible sorry you had to experience it. I now only can sleep 3v3ry other day insomnia is a bitch.
@@trailer_trash_Barbie It sucks you have to resort to Xanax to sleep. It’s the healthiest drug in the world and rarely prescribed here in the uk. Ever tried lithium? Again it’s not the healthiest but really straightens you out. That psychotic episode from insomnia had me thinking my family were trying to kill me along with some fictitious hitmen. It would be funny if it wasn’t so horrific 🙄 Anyway, stay strong! Bipolar is for life but that doesn’t mean that is what it has to take. 💙
Yes I been on lithim Prozac Lexapro ambien everything I tried to kill myself I cut my throat and someone found me I don't know why they all make me wanna die when I on them. The Xanax really works for my sleep and anxiety. Yes I thought my fiance was trying to kill me my friend who a cop said I was running down the highway away fro, my fiance and son. I don't remember any of it really just know it's a horrible feeling that I never want to 3xperience agian, suicide ruins in my family so it's scary. My fiance goes into physcosis a few times a year from schizophrenia it's crazy what our minds can do
I think i beat this preatty easily... I was awake for 78 hours for an military exercise wich was really fucking with my head, hallucinations all night long and eaven in broad day light during the day. I would never suggest someone to try this since it is honestly really dangerous. We were almost falling asleep doing anything but we hade to check each other in my group so we were awake all the time otherwise non of us would have mad it eaven past the 50 hour mark problably lol... I would say you cant think clearly at all after 60-65 hours and then you really start doing things compleatly wrong and not thinking at all just doing...
I could never do this. Sleep is too important/influencing in my day. Even if I get 1 hour less of sleep, I will feel like it was the whole night (after 2 weeks of doing it consistently though). Good video though
My longest is 24 hours, it was when I first started my 3rd shift job where I stayed up from 9 am to 9 am 😂 but it was when I still adjusting to the sleep schedule but to say I crashed on my weekend off is an understatement
It’s fun stuff. Normally past the 26hr stage roughly you kind of just get past tiredness and end up being able to get on with it. My longest shit (in security) is 48 hours over 4 different shifts. Just small breaks And speaking to other guards who has done longer! The biggest thing is when you’re so occupied and have a responsibility you don’t focus on your tiredness then as soon as it’s over you ridiculously crash it’s insane
I’ve gone 11 days without sleep, but I was on speed. Clean since April 9th 2010, 60 pages of Beth Macy’s book Dopesick (now a Hulu show with Michael Keaton) has my story. I’ve stayed up 5+ days multiple times, around day 4 is when shadow hallucinations come from the sides of your vision. Past 6 and auditory hallucinations kick in heavy. 2 people a room away can be discussing weather and you’ll hear them discussing doing you harm. Now a judo (brown belt) bjj (blue belt addict, training twice a day obsessively keeps me right.
slight sleep deprivation can actually be energizing. the body goes into "emergency mode" and you feel very clear and focused. but that quickly fades. I've done 35 hours because of long travel, and I was a wreck, I kept talking to my friends like I was drunk without having drinking anything.
I thought the same thing. I have no idea who these guys are, this just popped up in my recommended videos. Getting up at 12 a.m. the first morning would make this much more challenging.
Once I was without sleep 72 hours. It was day after pretty hard breakup and I just coulndt believe it happened to me. I remember i was tired after like 2 days. I ate like 1 small meal and it was awful. Just remembering this is hurting me coz i cant imagine doing this again. Very nice vid btw!
I have done 58 hrs straight without naps sleep cold showers anything and being fresh and alive . After attending spiritual program called Paramashivoham lvl2 by Paramahamsa Sri Nithyananda. I felt so energized that I didnt have desire to sleep. I was just active. Only around 58th hour gradually I felt a bit sleepy, but just a bit and went to sleep. What an amazing experience. Didnt drink any supplements or like sleep suppressive medication, etc. Just spiritual power of my guru!
joe, you've done a great job so far, please don't feel the need to do unnecessary challenges which have no benefit whatsoever apart from getting views. You've worked hard to build muscle and you should use the momentum you have to reach your genetic potential, as a tall lifter I can tell you once you lose momentum it's much harder to get back on track.
Good job. After the 72 hour mark is typically where it becomes really dangerous and anywhere after 94-96 is death level. I've done this before recently, right around the time when I got a new PC, that I stayed up for well over 36 hours and for what ever reason I just wasn't tired and had this consistent level of just being awake. Sadly this was before I started my courses this Fall, could of really used it. Key though is making sure you stay hydrated. Two coffee's which are also diuretics probably don't help. OJ and water will keep you going.
94-96 isnt death level. when i was 18 i often did amphetamin with a friend and was gaming all day & night. there was a time we were awake over 5 days. but the feeling wasnt nice at all and after all i wouldnt do that again.
@@megasoldir when I went to NYC for the first time last year, I got 4 hours of sleep total in a 5 day span. I felt awful, but not as bad as I thought I would.
I had gone without sleep for about 68 hours while going through BCT. It was an FTX so we were out in the field for 4 days in total. I didn't hallucinate, but my mind and body were on autopilot the whole time. Couldn't focus on anything that wasn't sleeping for more than a few seconds, my entire body felt so fuckin weak, that I couldn't even raise my rifle at eye level or get up from a prone position without using most of my willpower and all of my mental focus. I was stopping myself from falling asleep while I still standing up ffs. When I looked into a mirror at the end of it all... I looked like a hot pile of Taco Bell shit on a Thursday night... So in other words. Y'all got my respect for attempting this shit willingly.
Just throughout this week I’ve been going through weed withdrawals, I’ve reached the 45 hour mark then started hallucinating. It’s genuinely terrifying when your brain wants to sleep so badly but I just couldn’t. No matter what I done (without taking medication)I finally fell asleep but woke up just 2 hours later. I then stayed up for 12 hours and my sleep schedule has been fine ever since yesterday. Weed is scary when it comes to those withdrawals. Stay safe people.
I use to work the midnight shift at a gas station. One night I was so tired I hallucinated that I saw creatures across the street in the darkness, like goblins and trolls and such. I knew they were hallucinations from lack of sleep, but they seemed so real I decided to just watch them for a while. It was fascinating.
I had a flight from Japan to the US and I cannot fall asleep while traveling so I was ready for the long haul. The previous night before leaving I got like 5 hours of sleep and after one 10 hour flight, a 9 hour layover, a 6 hour flight, I got back to the states at 8 AM and decided to just go about my day and hang out with my friends. By the time it was 8 PM I completely started faded in and out of consciousness and legit dragged myself to my room and slept for 12 hours. It was an insane experience.
Haha 42 hours is also the most I’ve stayed up. I’m in the Finnish army and it was part of our training, got 4 hours of sleep amd then had to stay awake for another 24 hours all whilst in a forest doing shitty tasks
@@johannes01 yeah that was probably the hardest thing I've done in my life but mainly because of the tasks we went through. We had to go swimming across rivers and stuff also and the water was probably around 5°C at that time of year
When I was like 18/19 straight out of school I once stayed up 38 hours, and that wasn't much fun either. I gotta agree for sure, there's phases that you go through. My first horrible low caught me around 22 hours in, lasted for like 3 hours, then i was fine till like hour 35, at which point the feeling of tiredness just gradually became feeling AWFUL overall. I don't think I could to that shit anymore now at 25 haha.
I love your videos Joe. Keep going. And pls keep that little part of information like you did in the beginning of this video. It makes it far more professional. And you humour is really good haha just pls never stop making vids
Man I feel for you, this summer I have been writing my bachelor thesis and my lazy ass thought it will be good idea to leave it for deadline :D I did not sleep for 41 hours and 2 days before that only slept for 5 hours per night... I had to focused not only for staying awake but also to write reasonable thesis that sound professionally. After those 41 hourse my vision get blury and I saw walls and furniture in my room wiggling and bending :D Also heard some funky frog like noises aswell :D It was interesting experience but I´m not going to push this limit further any time soon :D :D
Usually you would feel extremely tired and then after like 15-20 minutes you would feel perfectly fine. I’ve been through those stages a bunch of times but if you stay up for too long you’ll get such a bad headache :(
I did back to back all nighters at university the week that my dissertation was due. Managed to stay awake and finish it in time (just about), fell asleep on the train home but luckily woke up just before my stop and not the other side of the country 😂 a "12 month" dissertation completed start to finish in about 55 hours. Somehow passed 🥳
I had to get up early for some laboratory work in electronics about 5-6 years ago, and I had only slept 3 hours that night - I was EXTREMELY tired when I woke up, and felt like a zombie the whole time, but thankfully it was a lab that could be finished immediately, without any lab reports or crap like that. Then I went home and slept for about 5 hours, and that felt beautiful - definitely worth it.
Great video. I didn’t sleep for 7 days in 2018 due to a condition. The hallucinations were absolutely terrifying and then I lost it completely and ended up in a phych hospital. It still feels like a cartoon.
Same here. unfortunately it was two simultaneous drug withdrawals during hurricane Sandy. By the end, I was hallucinating children running around my apartment, scared this shit out of my roommate, got the cops/ambulance called on me. Also ended up in the psych ward. What was your condition if I may ask?
@@XCHADHIGGINSX yeh mate you’ve been there aswell then. Scary shit ain’t it. Wouldn’t wish it in my worst enimy. Yeh same drug withdrawal. What was you coming off Chad?
@@Perfectly-unperfectly I was coming off benzos and subxone. I remember I had no idea about the hurricane and since everything was shutdown, I couldn't get to the pharmacy. It was just the worst timing in the world. How about you?
this happened to me, It came to the point that I want to sleep so bad, I want to knock myself out by punching my face. I'm crying and praying asking god for a sleep.
As someone who had a newborn that refused to sleep more than 30 mins at a time for 10 months straight, I severely underestimated how important sleep was. I was genuinely hospitalised for exhaustion and mental health issues due to the lack of sleep. Thankfully we’re thriving now but my god I would never go back to that if you paid me 😅😢 well done 👍🏻
when I did something like that, keeping my eyelids open became difficult they would rhythmically get more closed every like 3 seconds, and then I'd force them to stay open it got to the point where I basically couldn't stop myself from sleeping, even if it was only for like 10 minutes, because I was around people, and they were talking normally (not quietly) once I hit that point I went home and crashed didn't lose my memory of it tho
Hello Joe. Hope this comment reaches you. Just wanted to let you know that you are one of the few channels where I always look forward to new videos and I’m never disappointed. Keep up the great work!
I think I pulled an all nighter almost 2 1/2-3days in a row to study for my exams and I literally fall on my knees because I fell asleep while walking to school it was terrifying
*Laughs in US Marine* In all seriousness, without getting into specifics, my MOS in the Marine Corps is a combat supporting role, and a lot of the time we’re out in the field before anyone else. To even graduate from my MOS school required a 50 hour culminating exercise. Yes, 50 hours straight doing my job. I’ve worked 72 hour days on combat deployments and I am at the shop (our workshop) at 0400 and don’t leave until 1800 most days.
Not sure why such an old video came up on my recommended videos, BUT twice in my life I've stayed awake for a full week, (168 hours). The first time I was working in security, (around 21 years old), and was being moved from site to site to cover other guards, at around the 6 day, (148 hours), mark I started seeing things. Eventually I managed to fall asleep, (for a few seconds), while walking along. When I was allowed to go home, I managed to get around 3 hours sleep before the company called me up again to cover another shift, (that's going back almost 30 years since). Second time, I had some.... chemical assistance.... I was helping out in a garage by the 7th day I was getting annoyed at the least little thing, (for example not remembering how to loosen a bolt, what size socket I should be using, how to tie my shoe laces etc). The secret is having something to do that takes your mind off the tiredness. These days I spend a lot of time in front of my computer and I can last for around 72 hours, (if I get right in to a game), but normally I start passing out around the 40 hour mark, (now 50 years old with a heart condition).
I stayed up for 3 days straight in ibiza many years ago. Ended up sleeping for nearly 2 days when I got home 😂😂 lack of sleep is literally the worst thing ever. You feel that shit
my best is 56 hours and I went to sleep because my mom told me to, not because I wanted to go. edit: no caffeine was taken. No coffee, no energy drinks, nothing and I felt completely fine
Most I've ever done is 32ish hours. I woke up at 7, had a test at 9, and studies for the test on the next day through the night. I finished the test at around 12, went home.and wanted to stay awake till normal bed time, making it closer to 40 hours, but there was just no way. I passed out before dinner and slept 2 hours, till my mom woke me up.
Went to Penn State where they do an annual 46 hour standing/dance marathon called THON to fundraise money for kids with pediatric cancer. My senior year I took part in the dance and after about 45 hours of no sleep (also of straight standing up) I began to heavily hallucinate visual and auditory things, and just felt completely exhausted. I also couldnt focus my attention at all and everything felt like a rapid blur, and also couldnt remember much. Made it through the whole thing and had a total of about 50 hours of no sleep. It was an extremely difficult experience, but Im so glad i did it to raise money against cancer and help the kids! Overall loved the vid!
What I found after pulling an allnighter is that there would come a time of day where I'd just feel cold (indoors), even though nothing had changed and I found getting sunlight and maybe a walk (in the sun) helped a person be more awake and then sometimes during the next day, I'd get this boost of energy and basically feel normal, and although the phrase isn't used soley for allnighters (like sports too), but people talk about "a second wind"
The only “sleep deprivation” challenge I ever did was staying up for 24hrs. And that was because I was flying from Memphis TN to Edinburgh Scotland. Started the day at 3:30am and ended at 9pm the next day. Slept until 10am.
I’ve been awake for 60 hours before due to long shifts and too much Monster energy … you fell asleep at the right time. Shit starts getting really weird once you go into day 3. 😂
As someone who did sometimes did go 80 hours of sleep because of my speed consumption, yeah sleep is indeed important, and you’re lucky you didn’t go over 70 hours because that’s when you start to get some really unpleasant hallucinations, especially tactile hallucinations, you feel some insects are touching your legs constantly
Sleep is so easily underestimated
Yes
And over rated lol jk

Well look at him, not an insult but I don’t think he’s taking his training or nutrition very seriously anymore regardless
@@lucasliftslight you clearly do not watch his channel then

@@dylanshaw2804 Apologies if I’ve offended you. What I’m implying is Joe could easily be putting on more weight right now. I’m aware he’s recovering from tonsillitis but we all can make up excuses. Bottom line is even when your sick you have to eat like a dog to keep what you’ve worked so hard for.
@@lucasliftslight In that case, I doubt you've ever experienced the pain he had to go through. It's unbearable pain and your appetite would be terrible. Sometimes you have to prioritise your own health over maintaining your aesthetics. And you haven't offended me if you are thinking about commenting that, was just helping you understand that you've got to understand your limits.
did this yesterday travelling back from the USA to the UK, sleeping on planes is impossible for me. Lasted 33 hours before hibernating. Insane you managed to last that long on just a couple coffees!!
That’s mad that you got 33 hours without even doing a challenge. Must have killed you ahaha
Lol I just came back from Antigua yesterday morning, also didn't sleep a wink on the 9 hour flight, and stayed up the whole day back in London, probs around 30 hours aswell.
The most I couldn't sleep was 3 days. It was 2 years ago . I went to a different university in a different city to confess my love. I couldn't sleep for days, I tried a lot however I closed my eyes for few hours but never got even a 5 min nap..
@@meetimian3383 how did your confession of love go
How many flights did you take? Surely the trip shouldn't have been that long.
Yeah, this hits home for me. Just half a year ago i had to stay awake for 42 hours. I woke up at 6 am on the first day. Went to university, then got home in the evening. I had to work on two projects. I have been making them all night, one of them i had to present the following morning. On the way to the uni, i nearly collapsed from exhaustion standing in the middle of the subway carriage. Anyways, i succesfully got to the university, presented the project, got 10/10. After the presentation i had to attend university lessons all day (on this exact god damn day classes were scheduled to end at 9 pm). I got home completely broken and after that i got my 13 hours of sleep. Guys, don't neglect good sleeping habits. It is the key for the productivity. I will do my best to avoid such things in the future. The psychological well-being is way more important than some studies.
what major?
@@mcdude8820 Law
im about to attend uni and im shitting myself reading that, so like did you leave those projects last minute or something?
@@BritHumorBanter One of them was, but i wouldn't say that the main reason was bad time management. It was just an unfortunate combination of personal and professional circumstances that led to burning deadlines and me spending a sleepless night.
So you don't need to worry. As a rule, universities don't require you to spend countless sleepless nights. It usually depends on what you study, but if you are not a crazy perfectionist, you will do just fine. I am a law student, and usually i spend not more than 2 sleepless nights a year.

Me and a friend did this when I was 16 and he was 18. It was the middle of summer during a heatwave in 2010. We lasted just under 72 hours. It got to a point where I was extremely agitated by everything and literally hallucinated whilst staring at my hallway carpet at my dad's house. We lasted this long by staying outside mostly, walking around my hometown at 3am waiting for the sun to come out and our other friends to come out and join us haha. Good times.
I haven't slept for 1 day and misread your comment... I thought you went to bed when you were 16 and now u r 18 lmao
Meth keeps people awake for days, weeks even. It's not good.
Lmao yea me and some friends went a whole day got drunk at the end and all felt like absolute shit we were like 16 played video games trampoline lifted arm wrestled 😂😂😂😂 I’d do anything to go back to that

I was homeless (March 2016 to August 2018) for 29 months straight, in my early 50's. It wasn't the cold or lack of food that was the hardest, it was the sleep deprivasion by far, no question.
@mike davidson I hope you are doing well.
I actually slept like a baby in prison and I can totally see why homeless folks would want to be in prison. In a perfect world we would take much better care of our less fortunate. How many times do you drive by empty distribution centers and warehouses and stuff. They could easily, with minimal costs, and some donations, be made into shelters and programs for the homeless.
are you doing good now? if yes I want to know how you get back on your feet. I want to know your life story.
@@InTheNow2020 so how did you stay awake at night?
I was homeless between '18 & '22 & yeah, the sleep deprivation was rough until I found a big park that has a huge creek with an island in the middle at the bottom of a 20 foot embankment. Slept great almost every night, better than that, though was the fact that I never got hasselled.
So underrated how good the editing is ffs his ability to tell a good cohesive story with these videos is so impressive
Yess it will definitely pay off!
Yes. A long time dedicating to YT results to great editing skills
Goodness the word “underrated” has made its way into another YT comment section and it’s about sleep. Is there a YT comment section in existence where the word underrated isn’t used?
I love the creativity on your content Joe, you've come a long way!
I've had this sleep problem that started when i was in high school, got depressed and couldnt sleep for 3 days straight, felt like a walking zombie. After experiencing that, my sleep schedule was so fked up, i would go to sleep at 9 am and the next day at 10 am and the next day at 11 am and so goes on, that went for about 2 or 3 years i forgot.
Im okay now cuz its fixed, i happily sleep at 3 am or so everyday. Never knew all i needed was to be loved and feel love i know its cringey but it fixed me ( and sleeping pills for about a month lol )
Get urself a good sleep guys ✨️
How r u now?
@@whohoo-sz2uv i am good now i sleep better ✨️✨️
As someone who suffered with chronic insomnia this is very relatable. The worst part is when you start losing the sense of reality and seeing people and flashing lights and hearing things.
Sleep is the difference maker in having a decent quality of life and if you’re not getting any then your brain just shuts down. It made me go from around 145 lbs to 128lbs in 6 weeks as I couldn’t even go to the gym.
I relate as well, chronic insomnia here too. Started 9 years ago and been prescribed almost all the pills you could think of, eventually I build up tolerance and stop responding. I’m in 50th hour now and it became so causal for me. I know I’ll stay up for at least the next 15 hours. My brain feels a bit numb and there is pressure in the back. I feel nauseated as well but that’s about it. Typical reoccurring experience. But I know in 10 hours hell will start and I’m extremely scared. No matter how many times I experience it a week I never got used to the paranoia that hits and the noises. I also become aggressive and unaware of my surroundings. The headaches as you know start around the 24-30 hour mark and they only get worse after that. No matter how scared I am of the next 10-15 hours I can never escape it. I’ve tripled my pill dose to at least get an hour of sleep but it’s to no avail. I feel really cold as well and sounds sound like they’re coming from an alternate reality. As if they’re attacking me but at the same time they keep coming and disappearing. I could go on and on but I’m sure you already struggle with everything I mentioned.

Going this much without sleep really reminds how important it is. Getting good sleep is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Feel better physically and mentally as opposed to getting bad sleep.
For sure quality sleep is soooo important!
Watching a lot of your videos lately, you go hard mate
interesting seeing you here big man
make more texture packs pls
@@brothdisiwsnsotwwokrs LOL
A family member of mine is in the military and in a position of command. He mentioned that when they first went into Iraq , he didn't sleep for the first 4 days until his lads had slept. Im tired after being awake a few hours lol
as a 25 year old navy seal I can go 2 weeks without sleeping it's kind of good for being aware but it gets tiring
@@motivationalseekrs2040 respect
I did this in the Army! It was hellish! At hour 30 or so the drills brought us into a room with lights shut off for recruits to watch a training video, and if anyone fell asleep they got smoked big time! I managed to stay awake, only because I bit my tongue so hard it almost bled in my mouth, the pain kept me awake! In the Army there's really no time to sleep.
Had a buddy a very long time ago (no longer fiends with said buddy) that attempted his own “sleep study” or “experiment” if you will. And he tried to see how long he could go on with as little sleep as possible. Made it like 2 weeks or so only sleeping for like 30 minutes every couple of hours. He ended up in the hospital from sleep deprivation and he started hallucinating and became very Ill. Don’t recommend that at all haha this reminded me of that time. Crazy how important sleep is!
I didn’t sleep for almost a week (not on purpose)and I had a psychotic break honestly don’t think he should have done this even for views it could cause permanent damage :(
Yes, sleeping is a real deal. When I was a teenager, I was a mess. As an all time PC gamer who played like 16-18 hours straight. It was in my 16-18 years with my cousin. We drank about 20 energy drinks on Saturdays, sometimes we even had blood coming out of our noses, or we got dizzy, even I started to faint (I didn't even know what that was). I think 2 or 3 times I was awake for like 50 hours but then I started having problems all over my body. Sometimes I would have seizures, other times I would pass out without logic. My parents really freaked out back then. But since I finished high school, I started working a lot, sometimes like 12 hours a day and my body started shutting down, I would come home super tired and my body would just take me to bed, and I would fall asleep instantly. Every day I played less online games due to my exhaustion until I quit. I started to have a life, going out with friends, met a girl, and left video games behind. Today I am 37 years old, and I sleep 4-5 hours a day, but I take a 2-3 hour nap and I feel fine. I had to give up energy drinks, from time to time in a meeting I'd take a monster but no more than that.
30 minutes of sleep every couple of hours is 6 hours of sleep per day. Wtf are you on about?
@@2ndBallScratchGolfer not 6 consecutive hours of sleep though. He never once hit REM sleep. The hospital trip pretty much said what the fuck I’m on about.
@@Rooster1997 Ahh I stand corrected
Since I was an extreme procrastinator, I once stayed up all night to study for an exam the next day. Since I don't drink coffee because of the side effects of caffeine (while ironically not sleeping all night) I actually managed to stay up for 38 hours without caffeine, waking up at 8 on day 1, and going to sleep at 10pm on day 2. Just like you, staying up overnight was ok, and keeping my body moving by going to school kept me awake without too much torture. However, when I sat anywhere such as the metro, and stopped moving on day 2, the tiredness is excruciating. I felt a light sense of itchiness coming from within the head and shoulder area. And finally being able to close your eyes and sleep is the most satisfying thing ever. Great video!
Also, surprisingly, my concentration levels did not diminish, from what I've noticed.
I did this for pretty much ever exam I attended 😅 kinda used to it.
you can already tell him sleeping on the chair part genuinely wasn't scripted or fake
Not really
The camera carried on recording for about 50 mins before the SD ran out 😂
@@JoeFazer why did you make that video a while back where you tried to see how fast you could run 3 miles in a week and you said you ended up running it in 22 mins? That's clearly a lie and unrealistic. Why would you lie to your audience like that, you should have at least made it realistic and believable
I would expect someone who is an ectomorph like Joe (and myself) who lifts would be able to run a 5k (3.1 miles) in under 30 minutes pretty easily. 21 seems like a big of a stretch to me though too…
@@travisbickle0526 3.1 miles is 5k. Its not that far tbh.
I am 36 years old, and I can still stay awake all night without any particular problems, although I do start to feel very uncomfortable the next evening, and usually go to sleep at around 7 PM or so.
Then I wake up the next morning some time in 5 AM or so, and feel awesome again.
I think my longest time so far has been about 45 hours, when I was about 20 years old.
Ive done 52 hours crabbing loaading my boat dumping our pots and coming in loading someone elses pots going back out and dumping there gear shit sucked
you are still damaging your body by doing this.
once i was doing cocaine with alcohol, i didnt sleep for 8 days, not a big deal
Are you alive now
wrong
Yeah when you are young, many things are possible. I cant say i didnt regret things, now im 31 years old and i have high blood pressure. All things you do to yourself will have consequences, sooner or later. Take care of yourselves :)
I like how Joe tries to go for a workout even though he just exhausts himself even more... this man does anything to get a couple of extra clips in the video ha ha love the variety of your content
He's in the top of the fitness content creators, ngl
Great video once again, Joe!! When I started working out, my two main mistakes were lack of sleep and not eating enough (not being in a caloric surplus). I always thought I was eating enough and was disappointed because my weight stagnated. Then I got my first diet plan created (I think it was from Nextlevel diet iirc). I realised that my previous food intake was way below my needs, although I thought I'm good. At the beginning it was hard to eat 3000 kcal in a day, but I got used to it. I started noticing real gains and it felt amazing. Even my sleep schedule fixed itself naturally. I wish I'd understood the importance of diet earlier.
another bot huh
usually people think that eating less will make you more tired but it's actually the opposite..
@@RehabWithRaeRae not necessarily
@@azukichiu if you are going by a calorie-restrictive diet long-term, your body will keep itself awake until it finds food. Some could say its a primal behavior humans have.
@@RehabWithRaeRae no wonder i have insomnia in a caloric deficit
can we just appreciate joe's physique? no joke he's looking BIG nice work man
he worked really hard for it!
Yep agreed
I've found, as someone who pulls all nighters fairly often, that your body will act very tired when im supposed to be asleep but when i should normally wake up, even if I didnt sleep, my body acts as though a new day has begun and im not longer tired, which seems similar to your situation after that first 24 hours
Yeah I almost always sleep regularly but I remember at my gymnasium graduation I went around partying etc all night, and the next day when I finally got home at like 12 I thought I'd sleep for ages. But as you said, it turned out my body was ready for the day and I couldn't even fall asleep.
This sleep thing sounds pretty cool! I should try it one time!
I've pulled an all nighter and then had trouble getting to sleep the next night, so I've kind of experienced a similar period without sleep. One weird thing is you start thinking you see insects or tiny shit, and your mind comes up with a lot of bad ideas that you think are genius.
Seen the insects, one time a weird black blob materialized in front of me and it scared the shit out of me, I've also had auditory hallucinations like hearing songs in random noise.
when I have a manic episode I don't need sleep I'll get up and feel extreme energy and be hyperproductive.
@@potjeh5518 Sounds like the time I was on the bus home from work after 3 days without sleep, I saw a shadow of a person and they were in the middle of the road and I screamed thinking it was a person about to be run over but nothing happened... except a few funny looks at the girl screaming on the bus... 😅 Once hallucinated a packet of crisps flying across my room at uni.
@@nexgen696 Ah lol, i usually get really sleep deprived on exam weeks, but one of my friends used to be an amphetamine addict and binged without sleep for days. He told me about a time he had a conversation with his sister and his dad came into the room asking him who is he talking to. That was 3 days without sleep too, i only went like max 40ish hours.
@@potjeh5518 Its sort of like little things are moving all around you. But I think somehow its your eyes inability to perceive light properly
Suffered from insomnia since I was 16 and had my final exams, since then I've not slept for multiple days in a row on some occasions. After 3 days without sleep in my uni dorms I started hallucinating- could have sworn a packet of crisps flew across my room. Used to how micro-naps in lectures. Another time I hallucinated a guy stood in the middle of the road when I was on the bus, screamed in terror as the bus was about to get run over, when nothing happened I felt super embarrassed.
I rarely have 3 or 4 days without sleep now but I do often go 24-48 hours without sleeping and it's not fun. That blurry eyed feeling is horrible, and there's a huge sense of disassociation, I usually feel like things aren't real when I'm so tired.
Sorry to hear u suffer from insomnia that bad
I cured my insomnia with cbti it actually works i followed all the advice from a sleep channel called insomnia talks on youtube . At peak insomnia id get 4 hours a night sleep . I now sleep 8 hours. The last time i got a bad night sleep was 3 weeks ago i only had 6 hours but its fine i no longer panic that i will never sleep i no sleep will come
I'm very late to the party but I can emphathise. I suffered from encephalitis at 2 years old from a vaccination which hospitalised me for 2 years. During which my parents were told "I wouldn't make the night" on a regular basis while given the highest doses of opiates given in the history of that hospital more than any adult as a toddler. From the age of 4 I regularly went without sleep for 3-4 nights and no medication would alleviate it. The only exception was to be put under anesthetic. Fast forward 30 years and nothings changed but I did find my own ways of medicating. Once a fortnight I'd buy a litre of whiskey and 2 grams of weed and I'd consume asmuch as possible as quickly as possible til I passed out. Unfortunately I am no longer able to do this and over the years my ability to understand what people are saying is diminishing and I am unable to artuculate words properly resulting in mumbling. Severe depression, anxiety, constant headaches, eye strain and the thought of self-deleting. Anywho I did go without sleep for 11 days once and it was the most sickening almost psychedelic experience mixed with an unhealthy dose of schizophrenia. I never knew but as a fellow insomniac apparently the projected lifespan isn't too good. Fingers crossed for you too.
My record for the most hours gone without sleep is about 42 hours or around there.
The longer I stayed awake, the easier it got to stay up, I was like not tired tbh after 20 hours in.
I have extremely severe insomnia since being a child. Have no issues being up 36-48hrs at a time for over a decade all the time. Scary thing is I don’t feel worse. Praying it somehow changes
I remember at my lowest with my mental health, I went 4 days without sleep. To this day because of that, I have to take sleeping meds to be able to sleep. I feel your pain man, sleep is a beautiful thing
As someone who once had insomnia for close to 2 years… I hate stuff like this….
Insomnia is Hell. I was depressed almost daily and went days without feeling a moment of happiness. I had to reach down into the deepest parts of my soul just to push through doing most everyday tasks. Never feeling fully rested, ever… why someone would do this as a “fun challenge” makes no sense to me whatsoever. Don’t fuck around with your sleep. It is a cornerstone for your physical & mental health and it needs to be respected.
Well said
very interesting video, but I wish you could include some content like what happens to your brain and body when you stay awake so long so people could understand and appreciate the importance of sleep even more. But still, a very good job. Keep going !
Hey joe I just wanna say thank you so much, you have inspired me so much and probably loads of others, i absolutely love your channel mate, thank you so much. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Are you working out?
My record is 50 solid hours of not sleeping.I woke up at 10 am on Wednesday.Had some classes and went to study with a friends of mine.We studied up until 4 am the next day, and I decided not to sleep, because I needed to get some work done for an exam the same day.After the exam (Which started at 18:00 on Thursday) I went back to my dorm and had to get ready to hit the club.Went there, got drunk, went back to the dorm at 6 am on Friday, didn't sleep, because the day before (The day of the exam) a teacher of mine didn't accept the work I did and had to redo everything.At 10 am on Friday I went to uni to see the teacher (partially drunk), waited for a while, he accepted all papers I had prepared for him, went back home at 12 am or 1 pm and fell asleep immediately.If my math is correct, that would make 50-51 hours of not sleeping.I'm almost in the same situation right now.I'll go to sleep in about an hour or two, and the next time that I'll go to sleep will be in 3-4 days from now.I'm not doing it because I want, but because it needs to be done (2nd year mechanical engineering).I'll do an update after the "experiment" lol
The longest I've been awake that I actually know of was 30 hours. It actually wrecks your sleeping pattern for a week at least.
Yes, you need to break down your muscles but they grow outside the weight room. Sleep, Nutrition, and Recovery. The most important.
Aint got no problem working out in the gym..but its those 3 that come back to haunt me
It’s not a competition and sleep deprivation is serious. Just to share the longest I have been without sleep is unfortunately 100+ hours. Bipolar manic episode makes it pretty much impossible, plus you feel amazing most of the time.
Me 2 I'm bipolar mania as well I went 5 or 6 days and lost it had a mental breakdown
@@trailer_trash_Barbie I’m really sorry to hear that. After the 100+ hours mentioned above I had to spend a week in the hospital. Quetiapine helps a lot now though.
@@gregbearne2195 yes I ended up in the hospital too!! That med u take makes me sleep walk and go crazy 🤪 I take a Xanax bar now at night to knock my butt out. Those 5 6 days I was awake was pure hell my mind would not shut off I was not on anything. Then I finally snapped and did some crazy stuff I don't remember at all. It's horrible sorry you had to experience it. I now only can sleep 3v3ry other day insomnia is a bitch.
@@trailer_trash_Barbie It sucks you have to resort to Xanax to sleep. It’s the healthiest drug in the world and rarely prescribed here in the uk. Ever tried lithium? Again it’s not the healthiest but really straightens you out.
That psychotic episode from insomnia had me thinking my family were trying to kill me along with some fictitious hitmen. It would be funny if it wasn’t so horrific 🙄
Anyway, stay strong! Bipolar is for life but that doesn’t mean that is what it has to take. 💙
Yes I been on lithim Prozac Lexapro ambien everything I tried to kill myself I cut my throat and someone found me I don't know why they all make me wanna die when I on them. The Xanax really works for my sleep and anxiety. Yes I thought my fiance was trying to kill me my friend who a cop said I was running down the highway away fro, my fiance and son. I don't remember any of it really just know it's a horrible feeling that I never want to 3xperience agian, suicide ruins in my family so it's scary. My fiance goes into physcosis a few times a year from schizophrenia it's crazy what our minds can do
How is even possible to make a video about sleep look like a survival match-up...Hell of a creator
I think i beat this preatty easily... I was awake for 78 hours for an military exercise wich was really fucking with my head, hallucinations all night long and eaven in broad day light during the day. I would never suggest someone to try this since it is honestly really dangerous. We were almost falling asleep doing anything but we hade to check each other in my group so we were awake all the time otherwise non of us would have mad it eaven past the 50 hour mark problably lol... I would say you cant think clearly at all after 60-65 hours and then you really start doing things compleatly wrong and not thinking at all just doing...
Yep, hallucinations is pretty wild. These "civilians" didn't even try. They didn't put hot sauce in their eyes or snort coffee.
Navy SEALs do hell week which is 5 1/2 days with little to no sleep at all. Must suck
I did 5 days on a massive speed sesh and ended up in hospital. That 5th day was the weirdest and scariest time of my life.
That pink champagne will do that to the best of us.
Care to explain? I would actually be really interested to know
I could never do this. Sleep is too important/influencing in my day. Even if I get 1 hour less of sleep, I will feel like it was the whole night (after 2 weeks of doing it consistently though). Good video though
Joe is the best youtube channel for many reasons: he is cool
My longest is 24 hours, it was when I first started my 3rd shift job where I stayed up from 9 am to 9 am 😂 but it was when I still adjusting to the sleep schedule but to say I crashed on my weekend off is an understatement
my longest is 54 we were going on a vacation and i was so hyped that i coudlnt sleep for 2 days straght
Weak stuff.
4:15 Never thought Joe was an epic Fortnite gamer, I guess you learn something new every day.
i was searching for this comment lol
@@tychomeems1282 Yeah, I guess a lot of people didn't notice.
It’s fun stuff. Normally past the 26hr stage roughly you kind of just get past tiredness and end up being able to get on with it. My longest shit (in security) is 48 hours over 4 different shifts. Just small breaks And speaking to other guards who has done longer! The biggest thing is when you’re so occupied and have a responsibility you don’t focus on your tiredness then as soon as it’s over you ridiculously crash it’s insane
I’ve gone 11 days without sleep, but I was on speed. Clean since April 9th 2010, 60 pages of Beth Macy’s book Dopesick (now a Hulu show with Michael Keaton) has my story. I’ve stayed up 5+ days multiple times, around day 4 is when shadow hallucinations come from the sides of your vision. Past 6 and auditory hallucinations kick in heavy. 2 people a room away can be discussing weather and you’ll hear them discussing doing you harm. Now a judo (brown belt) bjj (blue belt addict, training twice a day obsessively keeps me right.
11 days? Wow, I think that’s a tie with the current world record
11 days? Tf, you was on drugs. Yeah like meth can make people DON’T sleep tho
slight sleep deprivation can actually be energizing. the body goes into "emergency mode" and you feel very clear and focused. but that quickly fades. I've done 35 hours because of long travel, and I was a wreck, I kept talking to my friends like I was drunk without having drinking anything.
I honestly get so hyped. When you post, your gym content is amazing, and I love your extreme challenges. Keep up the good work!
Can’t believe it was light outside at 12AM?! 1:00
He meant 12pm because after 12 hours at 1:21 you see it's dark outside and the time changes from 23:59 - 00:00.
@@mskadwabro its not that deep
I thought the same thing. I have no idea who these guys are, this just popped up in my recommended videos. Getting up at 12 a.m. the first morning would make this much more challenging.
It was dark at 00:00 and then after hours it started getting brighter
Once I was without sleep 72 hours. It was day after pretty hard breakup and I just coulndt believe it happened to me. I remember i was tired after like 2 days. I ate like 1 small meal and it was awful. Just remembering this is hurting me coz i cant imagine doing this again. Very nice vid btw!
Hoes aren't worth it. Smoke some indica weed and sweet dreams. 😋
Jesus that sounds terrible. 72 hours is a long time without sleep!
I have done 58 hrs straight without naps sleep cold showers anything and being fresh and alive . After attending spiritual program called Paramashivoham lvl2 by Paramahamsa Sri Nithyananda. I felt so energized that I didnt have desire to sleep. I was just active. Only around 58th hour gradually I felt a bit sleepy, but just a bit and went to sleep. What an amazing experience. Didnt drink any supplements or like sleep suppressive medication, etc. Just spiritual power of my guru!
Just what I need back from a workout, love the content!
joe, you've done a great job so far, please don't feel the need to do unnecessary challenges which have no benefit whatsoever apart from getting views. You've worked hard to build muscle and you should use the momentum you have to reach your genetic potential, as a tall lifter I can tell you once you lose momentum it's much harder to get back on track.
Cool message man!

Good job. After the 72 hour mark is typically where it becomes really dangerous and anywhere after 94-96 is death level. I've done this before recently, right around the time when I got a new PC, that I stayed up for well over 36 hours and for what ever reason I just wasn't tired and had this consistent level of just being awake. Sadly this was before I started my courses this Fall, could of really used it. Key though is making sure you stay hydrated. Two coffee's which are also diuretics probably don't help. OJ and water will keep you going.
94-96 isnt death level. when i was 18 i often did amphetamin with a friend and was gaming all day & night. there was a time we were awake over 5 days. but the feeling wasnt nice at all and after all i wouldnt do that again.
@@megasoldir when I went to NYC for the first time last year, I got 4 hours of sleep total in a 5 day span. I felt awful, but not as bad as I thought I would.
I really thank you for not stretching your videos
I had gone without sleep for about 68 hours while going through BCT. It was an FTX so we were out in the field for 4 days in total. I didn't hallucinate, but my mind and body were on autopilot the whole time. Couldn't focus on anything that wasn't sleeping for more than a few seconds, my entire body felt so fuckin weak, that I couldn't even raise my rifle at eye level or get up from a prone position without using most of my willpower and all of my mental focus. I was stopping myself from falling asleep while I still standing up ffs. When I looked into a mirror at the end of it all... I looked like a hot pile of Taco Bell shit on a Thursday night... So in other words. Y'all got my respect for attempting this shit willingly.
Just throughout this week I’ve been going through weed withdrawals, I’ve reached the 45 hour mark then started hallucinating. It’s genuinely terrifying when your brain wants to sleep so badly but I just couldn’t. No matter what I done (without taking medication)I finally fell asleep but woke up just 2 hours later. I then stayed up for 12 hours and my sleep schedule has been fine ever since yesterday. Weed is scary when it comes to those withdrawals. Stay safe people.
I use to work the midnight shift at a gas station. One night I was so tired I hallucinated that I saw creatures across the street in the darkness, like goblins and trolls and such. I knew they were hallucinations from lack of sleep, but they seemed so real I decided to just watch them for a while. It was fascinating.
I had a flight from Japan to the US and I cannot fall asleep while traveling so I was ready for the long haul. The previous night before leaving I got like 5 hours of sleep and after one 10 hour flight, a 9 hour layover, a 6 hour flight, I got back to the states at 8 AM and decided to just go about my day and hang out with my friends. By the time it was 8 PM I completely started faded in and out of consciousness and legit dragged myself to my room and slept for 12 hours. It was an insane experience.
Staying awake for 72 hours or more is quite trivial on any kind of amphetamine or even a notropic drug like Modafinil
Haha 42 hours is also the most I’ve stayed up. I’m in the Finnish army and it was part of our training, got 4 hours of sleep amd then had to stay awake for another 24 hours all whilst in a forest doing shitty tasks
That sounds hard man!
@@johannes01 yeah that was probably the hardest thing I've done in my life but mainly because of the tasks we went through. We had to go swimming across rivers and stuff also and the water was probably around 5°C at that time of year
@@wilio9098 repsect for pushing through that man! 💪
Torille?
@@unknownguy8002 joo aamuja iha vitusti
When I was like 18/19 straight out of school I once stayed up 38 hours, and that wasn't much fun either. I gotta agree for sure, there's phases that you go through. My first horrible low caught me around 22 hours in, lasted for like 3 hours, then i was fine till like hour 35, at which point the feeling of tiredness just gradually became feeling AWFUL overall. I don't think I could to that shit anymore now at 25 haha.
Your body is much much stronger at 25 than at 18. You could do it much easier now.
I love your videos Joe. Keep going. And pls keep that little part of information like you did in the beginning of this video. It makes it far more professional. And you humour is really good haha just pls never stop making vids
Man I feel for you, this summer I have been writing my bachelor thesis and my lazy ass thought it will be good idea to leave it for deadline :D I did not sleep for 41 hours and 2 days before that only slept for 5 hours per night... I had to focused not only for staying awake but also to write reasonable thesis that sound professionally. After those 41 hourse my vision get blury and I saw walls and furniture in my room wiggling and bending :D Also heard some funky frog like noises aswell :D It was interesting experience but I´m not going to push this limit further any time soon :D :D
Lol watching this video as I am trying to fix my sleep schedule
2:34 the voice break killed me 🤣🤣🤣
Bro your content is always so good legit and I absolutely love how your a real down to earth Fitness RUclipsr
Usually you would feel extremely tired and then after like 15-20 minutes you would feel perfectly fine. I’ve been through those stages a bunch of times but if you stay up for too long you’ll get such a bad headache :(
I did back to back all nighters at university the week that my dissertation was due. Managed to stay awake and finish it in time (just about), fell asleep on the train home but luckily woke up just before my stop and not the other side of the country 😂 a "12 month" dissertation completed start to finish in about 55 hours. Somehow passed 🥳
Yo I did the exact same! Even down to the 55 hours ahahah
I had to get up early for some laboratory work in electronics about 5-6 years ago, and I had only slept 3 hours that night - I was EXTREMELY tired when I woke up, and felt like a zombie the whole time, but thankfully it was a lab that could be finished immediately, without any lab reports or crap like that.
Then I went home and slept for about 5 hours, and that felt beautiful - definitely worth it.
subbed. love this type of content.
Great video. I didn’t sleep for 7 days in 2018 due to a condition. The hallucinations were absolutely terrifying and then I lost it completely and ended up in a phych hospital. It still feels like a cartoon.
Same here. unfortunately it was two simultaneous drug withdrawals during hurricane Sandy. By the end, I was hallucinating children running around my apartment, scared this shit out of my roommate, got the cops/ambulance called on me. Also ended up in the psych ward. What was your condition if I may ask?
@@XCHADHIGGINSX yeh mate you’ve been there aswell then. Scary shit ain’t it. Wouldn’t wish it in my worst enimy. Yeh same drug withdrawal. What was you coming off Chad?
@@Perfectly-unperfectly I was coming off benzos and subxone. I remember I had no idea about the hurricane and since everything was shutdown, I couldn't get to the pharmacy. It was just the worst timing in the world. How about you?
this happened to me, It came to the point that I want to sleep so bad, I want to knock myself out by punching my face. I'm crying and praying asking god for a sleep.
@@razh0913 yeh I remember that only too well. How are you now? Hope all is ok now brother
Great video jow i love how you do story telling 😊 . Keep it up
As someone who had a newborn that refused to sleep more than 30 mins at a time for 10 months straight, I severely underestimated how important sleep was. I was genuinely hospitalised for exhaustion and mental health issues due to the lack of sleep. Thankfully we’re thriving now but my god I would never go back to that if you paid me 😅😢 well done 👍🏻
It's amazing how important sleep actually is for the body.
That sleep hit the spot for sure my guy
Joe after drinking coffee: WE’RE GONNA SMASH THIS CHALLENGE
Joe a few hours later: I can’t do this anymore
Joe: I didn't sleep for 42 hours!
Me: did you just pour water before putting the coffee?
Was scrolling through the comments thinking SOMEBODY HAS TO HAVE PICKED THIS UP!!!! 😂
U make good vids bro
Longest I’ve gone without sleep was 3 days by then i started losing my memory
when I did something like that, keeping my eyelids open became difficult
they would rhythmically get more closed every like 3 seconds, and then I'd force them to stay open
it got to the point where I basically couldn't stop myself from sleeping, even if it was only for like 10 minutes, because I was around people, and they were talking normally (not quietly)
once I hit that point I went home and crashed
didn't lose my memory of it tho
Hello Joe. Hope this comment reaches you.
Just wanted to let you know that you are one of the few channels where I always look forward to new videos and I’m never disappointed.
Keep up the great work!
I think I pulled an all nighter almost 2 1/2-3days in a row to study for my exams and I literally fall on my knees because I fell asleep while walking to school it was terrifying
*Laughs in US Marine*
In all seriousness, without getting into specifics, my MOS in the Marine Corps is a combat supporting role, and a lot of the time we’re out in the field before anyone else. To even graduate from my MOS school required a 50 hour culminating exercise. Yes, 50 hours straight doing my job. I’ve worked 72 hour days on combat deployments and I am at the shop (our workshop) at 0400 and don’t leave until 1800 most days.
Always that dude with a marine story.

@@SteelSemper1775 Right. People really don’t know. But apparently, according to some hoe, it’s “always some Marine”.
Not sure why such an old video came up on my recommended videos, BUT twice in my life I've stayed awake for a full week, (168 hours).
The first time I was working in security, (around 21 years old), and was being moved from site to site to cover other guards, at around the 6 day, (148 hours), mark I started seeing things. Eventually I managed to fall asleep, (for a few seconds), while walking along. When I was allowed to go home, I managed to get around 3 hours sleep before the company called me up again to cover another shift, (that's going back almost 30 years since).
Second time, I had some.... chemical assistance.... I was helping out in a garage by the 7th day I was getting annoyed at the least little thing, (for example not remembering how to loosen a bolt, what size socket I should be using, how to tie my shoe laces etc).
The secret is having something to do that takes your mind off the tiredness.
These days I spend a lot of time in front of my computer and I can last for around 72 hours, (if I get right in to a game), but normally I start passing out around the 40 hour mark, (now 50 years old with a heart condition).
I stayed up for 3 days straight in ibiza many years ago. Ended up sleeping for nearly 2 days when I got home 😂😂 lack of sleep is literally the worst thing ever. You feel that shit
I work night shift all the time! Not getting sleep is hard forcing yourself to stay awake it’s painful.
I regularly go 36 hours without sleep because of my shift patterns, it sucks
@@NiklamWoW That's very illegal
I did 48 twice, but the concentration just goes down for everything you want to do :D Good challenge, you did well, congrats ;)
I gone probably like 6 hours without sleep
my best is 56 hours and I went to sleep because my mom told me to, not because I wanted to go.
edit: no caffeine was taken. No coffee, no energy drinks, nothing and I felt completely fine
@@madiskruusmann302 u are inhumane bro
I'm also 14
Most I've ever done is 32ish hours. I woke up at 7, had a test at 9, and studies for the test on the next day through the night. I finished the test at around 12, went home.and wanted to stay awake till normal bed time, making it closer to 40 hours, but there was just no way. I passed out before dinner and slept 2 hours, till my mom woke me up.
Went to Penn State where they do an annual 46 hour standing/dance marathon called THON to fundraise money for kids with pediatric cancer. My senior year I took part in the dance and after about 45 hours of no sleep (also of straight standing up) I began to heavily hallucinate visual and auditory things, and just felt completely exhausted. I also couldnt focus my attention at all and everything felt like a rapid blur, and also couldnt remember much. Made it through the whole thing and had a total of about 50 hours of no sleep. It was an extremely difficult experience, but Im so glad i did it to raise money against cancer and help the kids!
Overall loved the vid!
What I found after pulling an allnighter
is that there would come a time of day where I'd just feel cold (indoors), even though nothing had changed
and I found getting sunlight and maybe a walk (in the sun) helped a person be more awake
and then sometimes during the next day, I'd get this boost of energy and basically feel normal, and although the phrase isn't used soley for allnighters (like sports too), but people talk about "a second wind"
The only “sleep deprivation” challenge I ever did was staying up for 24hrs. And that was because I was flying from Memphis TN to Edinburgh Scotland. Started the day at 3:30am and ended at 9pm the next day. Slept until 10am.
9pm to 10 am after 24? Thats me every friday night after work 😂 must be the scottish climate
I’ve been awake for 60 hours before due to long shifts and too much Monster energy … you fell asleep at the right time. Shit starts getting really weird once you go into day 3. 😂
Thats messed up i could never do this... I need to sleep allot
Well, that's definitely not healthy at all. But what happened in day 3?
After around 50 hours of staying awake it actually starts to damage your Brain
@@Holmscapes yeah that was really dangerous
Longest I went was 5-7 days. Definitely not healthy. Sleep is something that's very needed!

As someone who did sometimes did go 80 hours of sleep because of my speed consumption, yeah sleep is indeed important, and you’re lucky you didn’t go over 70 hours because that’s when you start to get some really unpleasant hallucinations, especially tactile hallucinations, you feel some insects are touching your legs constantly
