Yeah, getting only an hour or two a night for basically a month sounds like the worst kind of hell.
On the bathroom floor of their Clarence home, Kyle had told Danielle he was too exhausted to go on. Kyle wanted her to put him in a coma so he could shut off his brain. If not that, then he was going to leap out the window.
Jesus.Kyle Okposo wanted someone to put him in a medically induced coma after not being able to sleep following a concussion.

I don't doubt he had trouble sleeping, but 21 days without sleep will kill you, so I don't think he did. 21 days without uninterrupted sleep? Sure.
That's physically impossible. So no he didn't.
This must be exaggerated. I'm not sure it's possible to go 3 weeks without any sleep at all. The current world record for not sleeping is 11 days.
Like I've said in the past, once reliable and feasible premortem CTE testing becomes available, things are going to drastically change. Once we can quantify just how damaged your brain is when you're still alive is going to be the game changer.
I don't doubt he had trouble sleeping, but 21 days without sleep will kill you, so I don't think he did. 21 days without uninterrupted sleep? Sure.
Come on, people... It clearly means 21 days without a normal sleeping cycle. We cycle through different levels of sleep throughout the night. Wallin went 21 days without a REAL sleep cycle. REM sleep is more important than most people realize. If you're not getting into the deep levels of sleep your body and mind are not going to recover. Not allowing prisoners to get uninterrupted sleep is a form of psychological torture. So Wallin's body was basically torturing itself...
It says he would doze off for an hour at a time (presumably his body simply hit a shutdown mode of sorts) but that he wasn't getting anything close to actual REM sleep. More like a brief catnap and then back to being awake the rest of the night.
This is the sort of thing people go through when they're literally being tortured.
I wonder if it's memory loss. He may not have some memory of falling asleep or waking up.
Are we really going to argue the semantics of this?No. It actually didnt clearly state that.
Both the thread title and the original tweet said that he went 21 days without sleep. Full stop. It was actually incredibly vague. Not clear at all, which is why the posters you quoted expressed doubt.
Usually doesn’t it only take about a week without sleep for someone to go insane?
I have serious sleep issues where I can only sleep for like an hour at a time maybe 2-3 hrs/night. I've learned to deal with it, but it's frustrating. I can't imagine what it would be like for someone to experience it out of the blue for 3 weeks straight.
I was wondering why we weren’t talking about Marchand in here yet. ThanksYet Ekblad gets called a ***** for not dropping his gloves.
And Marchand is perfectly within his rights to pump his fist into Eller.
Imagine having to deal with that because you over celebrated a goal......
