What If You Had To Stay Awake For A Year? | An Animated Short Film

What if you locked Sleep out of your room for a year? Sam did. He made it to Day 11. Sam shoves Sleep out of the door and wins back eight hours a day. Then the knocking changes, the corners start filling up, and Rule 3 appears on the wall in his own handwriting. This is a fictional animated short, not a challenge. Never try to stay awake for days. The best-documented case is Randy Gardner: 264 hours, in a 1963–64 San Diego school science project. Guinness no longer monitors sleep-deprivation records because of the health risk.
