We've talked before about the importance of sleep and just how much you should try and get every night, but we haven't seen what it would be like if you didn't sleep at all.

我們之前已經討論過睡眠的重要性以及每晚應該睡多少覺，但我們還沒有看到如果你根本不睡覺會是什麼樣子。

Obviously, please don't try this.

顯然，請不要嘗試。

It's just hypothetical.

這只是假設。

Ahhh!

啊！

...uh…

...ㄜ...

Where am I and why am I so pointy!?

我在哪裡，為什麼我這麼有菱有角！

Animator, that is not fair! Why does he get a face!?

畫師，這不公平！為什麼他有臉！ ？

Hey, aren't you Block Man from...uh...Life Nugget?

嘿，你不是來自……呃……Life Nugget 的 Block Man 嗎？

Close enough. I guess. Who are you?

我想應該接近了。你是誰？

I'm James from TheOdd1sOut

我是 TheOdd1sOut 的 James。

Oh yeah! I know you!

喔對！我知道你！

You're normally a lot rounder.

你通常圓一點，

But now, I'm looking sharp!

我知道，但我看起來很銳利！

Ayyyy!

耶！

So, I don't know if you're busy after crashing through a giant portal in the sky, but do you wanna help me with this video?

我不知道你在衝破天空中的一個巨大的傳送門後是否很忙，但你願意幫我製作這個影片嗎？

Sure! What's it about?

當然！是關於什麼的？

Oh, it's on what would happen if you didn't sleep for a week!

哦，這是關於如果你一周不睡覺會發生什麼！

Oh yeah, I can definitely help with this one.

哦，是的，我絕對可以幫忙這個問題。

So, going without sleep for a week does sound like a long time, but you wouldn't win any awards for doing it.

所以，一週不睡覺聽起來確實很長一段時間，但你不會因此而獲得任何獎勵。

There has actually been an extensively documented case of someone stayed awake for about 11 days, or nearly 265 hours.

事實上，有大量記錄表明有人連續 11 天（即近 265 小時）不睡覺。

This came from Randy Garner, a high school student in San Diego, California.

這是來自加州聖地牙哥的高中生蘭迪·加納 (Randy Garner)。

There have been other reports since then of people staying awake even longer, but Garner gave a well-recorded history on the upper limits of the human body.

此後還有其他報導稱人們保持清醒的時間更長，但加納詳細記錄了人體上限的歷史。

He did it as part of an experiment for his science fair, breaking Tom Rounds' previous record of 260 hours.

他將其作為科學博覽會實驗的一部分進行，打破了 Tom Rounds 之前保持的 260 小時的紀錄。

All that for a science fair?

這一切都是為了科學博覽會嗎？

I would have just stuck with the baking soda volcano ...or you know, literally anything else!

我會選擇做小蘇打火山……或者你知道，其他任何東西！

But what might happen to you if you stayed up for a week?

但如果你連續一週熬夜，你會發生什麼事？

After your first night awake, you might get lost in your video games until the sun surprises you through your window.

清醒地度過第一個晚上後，你可能會迷失在電玩中，直到陽光透過窗戶讓你驚喜不已。

This is because even 24 hours without sleep can lead to an altered sense of time and a sensitivity to light and brightness.

這是因為即使 24 小時不睡覺也會導致時間感以及對光和亮度的敏感度改變。

As you progress into your sleepless week, you'll most likely notice your emotions going a bit wonky.

當你進入失眠的一周時，你很可能會注意到你的情緒變得有點不穩定。

You may not feel as positive and be easily irritated or disappointed.

你可能感覺不那麼正面，並且很容易被激怒或失望。

You could also experience memory issues and have trouble staying alert.

你也可能會遇到記憶問題並且難以保持警覺。

Losing sleep can also weaken the body's ability to fend off illnesses.

睡眠不足也會削弱身體抵抗疾病的能力。

You shouldn't be operating any machinery either because your chances of getting into an accident are heavily increased.

你也不應該操作任何機械，因為發生事故的可能性會大大增加。

Some have even said staying up for extended periods of time have caused them to have hallucinations, but there's still a bit of skepticism on this.

有些人甚至表示，長時間熬夜導致他們產生幻覺，但對此仍有一些懷疑。

Oh that's not a hallucination.

噢，這不是幻覺。

Sometimes that just happens.

有時這種情況就會發生。

Beyond, ya know, just choosing to do so, there's also medical conditions that make it difficult for people to get to sleep, and they can be pretty serious.

除此之外，你知道，只是選擇這樣做，還有一些醫療狀況會讓人難以入睡，而且情況可能非常嚴重。

One of these is called exploding head syndrome.

其中之一稱為爆炸頭症候群。

It's not actually as cool as it sounds; it's so much worse.

它實際上並不像聽起來那麼酷。情況更糟。

It's where a person experiences extremely loud noises, like an explosion or a booming thunderclap, as they're drifting off to sleep or waking up.

當人們入睡或醒來時，會聽到非常大的噪音，例如爆炸或雷鳴般的聲音。

People dealing with high levels of stress and mental or physical fatigue seem to be more likely to have exploding head syndrome.

承受高壓力和精神或身體疲勞的人似乎更有可能患有爆炸頭症候群。

It can truly be terrifying and really interfere with their sleep.

這確實很可怕，而且確實會干擾他們的睡眠。

Exploding heads, good for cartoons... not for people.

頭爆炸，適合卡通人物…不適合人類。

Another condition is called fatal familial insomnia, where patients have symptoms such as progressive insomnia, weight loss, extreme body temperatures, and rapidly progressing dementia.

另一種情況稱為致命的家族性失眠症，患者出現進行性失眠、體重減輕、極端體溫和快速進展的癡呆症等症狀。

There's currently no effective treatment or cure for it, and death typically occurs within 12-18 months of a person's first symptoms.

目前尚無有效的治療方法或治癒方法，患者通常會在首次出現症狀後 12 至 18 個月內死亡。

But that doesn't mean we're not trying to learn more about it.

但這並不意味著我們不嘗試更多地了解它。

A recent study of 5 patients used SPECT and PET scans to reveal that basal ganglia and the cerebral cortex were also affected by fatal familial insomnia.

最近一項針對 5 名患者的研究使用 SPECT 和 PET 掃描發現基底核和大腦皮質也受到致命的家族性失眠症的影響。

This is important because, based off of a previous study, it was found that basal ganglia are important in regulating sleep-wake behaviors.

這很重要，因為根據先前的研究，發現基底核在調節睡眠-覺醒行為方面很重要。

Hopefully, with further research, we can better learn how to care for this dangerous disease and one day find a cure.

希望透過進一步的研究，我們能夠更了解如何照顧這種危險的疾病，並有一天找到治療方法。

Serious conditions aside, sleep deprivation doesn't seem to always be a bad thing though.

撇開嚴重的情況不談，睡眠不足似乎也不總是一件壞事。

Not encouraging staying up all night and playing video games though.

不過，不鼓勵熬夜玩電子遊戲。

But based on a recent study, sleep deprivation might be an effective antidepressant, as it rapidly reduced symptoms of depression in roughly half of the depression patients in the analysis.

但根據最近的一項研究，睡眠剝奪可能是一種有效的抗憂鬱藥，因為它可以迅速減輕分析中大約一半憂鬱症患者的憂鬱症狀。

Their results are really quite interesting.

他們的結果確實非常有趣。

But all in all, I'd say that sleep is pretty darn important and you should try your best to keep that brain of yours well-rested, at least in most cases.

但總而言之，我想說睡眠非常重要，你應該盡力讓你的大腦保持良好的休息，至少在大多數情況下是如此。

Sometimes you just gotta stay up and finish that YouTube video.

有時你就是得熬夜完成 YouTube 影片。

Rather than trying to see how long you can stay awake, it would be way cooler if we tried to beat the world record for the largest sleepover party.

與其嘗試看看你能保持清醒多久，不如嘗試打破最大型過夜派對的世界紀錄，那就酷多了。

It's only 2,004 people!

只有2004人！

If more people fall through that giant portal thing then we can probably beat that record.

如果更多的人從那個巨大的門戶中掉下來，那麼我們可能會打破這個記錄。

Actually never mind.

算了。

Let's get out of here.

離開這吧。

Why!? It looks so friendly!

為什麼？這看起來很友善耶！

Who's a good fish monster!?

誰是好魚怪啊？！

So how long have you stayed up for? Let me know in the comment section below!

那你曾經熬夜多久？請在下面的評論區告訴我！
