What Happens If You Never Sleep Again? 😱

What happens to your body if you NEVER sleep again? 😱 After just 24 hours with no sleep, your brain becomes as impaired as someone who is legally drunk. Push further and your brain starts sleeping in patches while your eyes are open (microsleeps!), then come the hallucinations, paranoia, and a full-body breakdown. In this episode: the hour-by-hour timeline of sleep deprivation, Randy Gardner — the teenager who stayed awake 11 days straight (264 hours!), why drowsy driving kills thousands every year, what sleep loss does to your heart, immune system and hormones, fatal familial insomnia (the disease where sleep is impossible), sleep rebound, why your brain washes itself every night (glymphatic system), and what would happen if NOBODY ever slept again.
