  When reading anything published by The Daily Mail, it’s best to assume that the story ranges between poorly reported and outright fabricated.

    It’s baffling that anyone reads their articles, let alone posts them as a basis for debate on a scientific topic.

    This. It always baffled me why the BBC legitimises it by including it in the newspaper summaries. Might as well have included the Daily Sport.

      Are you telling me they didn’t actually find a spitfire on the moon?

  The article says it was combination of exhausion, alcohol and smoking.

  before making any meaningful discussion we’d need to know first the exact cause of death.

  When people have tried this they found you can’t just stay awake. Your brain ends up turning bits of itself off at a time, so while you can talk and move around you’re basically not fully conscious and will mix up words or not be able to move at the same time. They called it “microsleep”, and it’s the main reason why nobody tries to go for longer without sleep any more: beyond a certain point you’re not really awake or asleep.

  I cant comment on the dude in the article, cause I can’t be arsed to read it but, what you described happened to me. Stayed up for 3 days straight and, according to the doctors, it caused an epileptic fit.

      No particular reason, just having a good times with some mates and I took it a bit far.

  I think heart problems could actually make it possible to hold your breath until you die. You wouldn’t suffocate, but the stress on the heart would still kill you.

  A drinker and a smoker? Probably stressed their heart too much.

  My non medical opinion is sleep is not the same as being unconscious.

  • CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Ok but what’s your medical opinion?

    source

    • slazer2au@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      You should go see a professional medical practitioner to get proper medical advice.

  I think once you have been awake past a certain point your brain becomes sort of desensitized to sleepiness and it gets easier to keep staying awake. Or at least that is how my brain is, things get weird but I will feel like I can keep going when I really shouldn’t.

    Stayed awake for 4 days once. This was the case. After day 2 it was much easier.

    I have a similar experience keeping this waking state of mind, but the breadth of my vocabulary takes a steeep dive after a few days of only getting a few hours sleep (each night). I pretty much lose some capacity to form coherent speech, and when it happens in front of people, I try to blow it off like I just need my ahlzemerszers meds coffee

      This is why I hate baseball.

  Maybe, maybe not. After too long of no sleep (around four days for me) I start to ache so much I need pain meds to sleep.
