Any human being needs a lot of sleep to stay healthy and to live. But nowadays people do such things to become famous that you can’t even imagine. Something similar has been done by an Australian YouTuber. Actually, this YouTuber stayed awake for 12 days and did live streaming on YouTube to make a record of staying awake for the longest number of days. Well, let us now tell you who holds the world record of staying awake for the longest number of days.
Many types of problems occurred
The name of this Australian YouTuber is Norm. A few days ago, he tried to make a world record by staying awake for 12 consecutive days. But he could not make the record. During this, Norm had to face many problems. The viewers who were on the live streaming were also worried seeing Norm’s condition and were telling him to give up his stubbornness. But Norm did not agree and kept awake continuously for 12 days. Norm’s brother was helping him in this task.
Why was the world record not made?
Guinness World Records issued an official statement a few days ago saying that it does not officially recognize any such work. Actually, Guinness World Records believes that now its organization will not recognize anything that involves dangers related to lack of sleep.
Record of staying awake the longest
Norm could not officially make this record, but there is one name in Guinness World Records who holds the world record of staying awake the longest. Actually, in 1986, Robert McDonald of California was the last person who made the world record of staying awake the longest. Robert was awake for 453 hours and 40 minutes. This is 18 days, 21 hours and 40 minutes.
Robert McDonald was 27 years old when he made this world record. The first world record of staying awake for the longest time in the world was made in 1959 by two radio jockeys named Dave Hunter and Peter Tripp. In this record, Tripp made a record of staying awake for 8 days and 9 hours and Dave Hunter made a world record of staying awake for 9 days and 9 hours.
