Surely it's impossible to stay awake for 50 hours (or was it 60 hours?!) without any stimulation from drugs, music or fresh air?
I felt sleepy just watching them.
I loved all the snappy interaction though! I'm probably at my snappiest if I'm tired ... but it's a close run thing with being hungry making me snappy ... so (in my case) you'd have to watch me for the next 7 days getting snappy and irritable!!
I thought the task was pretty in-humane tbh, but then I'm someone who needs lots of sleep! I may have survived on very little sleep when I was younger but I never went 24 hours without sleep. My son, for instance, would be having terrible migraines if he had to stay awake that long and he's only a couple of years younger than some of those guys!
