Everyone goes along with the crowd, but the people who work out of the box are different. The passion of such people is on a different level. Today we are going to tell you about one such person who became a part of such a strange experiment, which you cannot even imagine. It is being talked about radio jockey Peter Tripp , who decided to stay awake for 200 hours continuously. The surprising thing is that he even did it. But he had to face dire consequences for this.
It is about 1959, when Peter accepted this challenge. He continued broadcasting his show for 200 consecutive hours. Let us tell you that all this was done for an organization in the name of its good purpose. A non-profit American organization named March of Dimes worked towards improving the health of mothers and newborns. Through this the organization was collecting funds from the people.
Under the challenge, Peter went and sat in a booth in Times Square, New York. He started telecasting his show at regular time. Since this experiment was related to science, some sleep researchers were called to monitor it. Surprisingly, Peter remained awake for a long time. During this, there was no change in his body language.
Condition deteriorated after 120 hours
However, after being awake for 120 consecutive hours, he started having hallucinations. They felt that they were locked in the hotel room and flames were coming out of the chest kept in front of them. Peter felt that the scientists did this to make the challenge difficult.
When the researchers found Peter behaving strangely, they immediately tried to talk to him. But troubled Peter mistook them for something else. According to sleep researchers, Peter started having unusual dreams due to frequent waking up. However, even in this state he was awake.
At one point, Peter started asking the scientists who they were. Let us tell you that even after all this, Peter managed to stay awake for 200 consecutive hours. Meaning, he was awake for about 10 days. However, this one challenge ruined his life. His mental health was badly affected. After leaving the work at the radio station, the wife also divorced him.
