What Happens If You Never Sleep Again?

Описание: What if you stopped sleeping right now? Not just one night—forever.

Your body would start breaking down in 72 hours. Your brain would begin hallucinating. Within weeks, your immune system would collapse. Within months, civilization itself would fracture.

This video explores the complete timeline of what happens when humans stop sleeping—from the initial euphoria to the catastrophic breakdown of both body and society. You'll discover why we spend 26 years of our lives unconscious, and why that time isn't wasted—it's the time that makes all the other time possible.

In this video, you'll learn:
What happens to your brain after 24, 72 hours, and 1 week without sleep
How sleep deprivation mirrors cognitive diseases like Alzheimer's
Why society would collapse without sleep (infrastructure, agriculture, government)
The evolutionary question: could humans adapt to never sleep?
What sleep actually does (it's not rest—it's maintenance)
Why the universe optimized us for rest, not hustle

Sleep isn't wasted time. During deep sleep, your brain flushes toxic proteins linked to Alzheimer's. During REM sleep, it processes memories and runs survival simulations. Your body repairs DNA damage, regulates hormones, and rebuilds your immune system—almost exclusively while you sleep.

We didn't evolve sleep because it was convenient. We evolved it because without it, we die.
