If a person is deprived of sleep for 7 days, then since the 5th day there is a high risk to die from the lack of sleep - for example, from a heart attack due to hallucinations. So the man works - we need to restore forces after day work. During sleep, the work is actively involved in the work, information has been processing accumulated per day. Body muscles rest internal organs Quietly busy with their functioning, the consciousness is disabled. Why is it so important to lie down in the laid hours, sleep enough of time and in no case do not deprive your sleep for a long time? It is easy to understand if you trace what is happening with a person suffering from insomnia for various reasons. The consequences are crying ...

1st day
1 day without sleep - quite a bit. Surely you remember the situation when you have not had to go to bed a day. Fatigue, bad memory and concentration, wandering attention, headacheDisruption of digestion - that's what is usually observed after a sleepless night. Memory and attention cannot function normally due to the fact that neokortex Not recovered per night. All systems in the body are associated, therefore, other organs react to lack of sleep. For health 1 day can not cause significant damage, but well-being is a prenection.

2-3rd day
Not only attention is violated, but also coordination of movements. Frontal lobes of the brain It cannot work normally without a proper rest, because you can forget about creative thinking. A man left without sleep for 3 days is in a state of nervous exhaustion. May arise nervous tick, panic attacks. Appetite will increase, because in stress, the body will allocate a large number of cortisol hormone, which contributes to the unrestrained eating food. I want fried, salted, sharp, and this is despite the fact that digestive system It works bad and unsystematic. Assice, oddly enough, it is very difficult - again because of the overwork nervous system.

4-5th day
Hallucinations will definitely appear. A person will speak incoherently, to understand badly, what happens to him, the solution of the simplest tasks will be unbearable for him. In this case, irritability and anger will increase in proportion to the time spent without sleep. Dark zone and prefrontal brain bark will refuse to work, that's why all this happens.

6-7th day
American student Randy Gardner did not sleep 11 days. Already on the age of 7, he led himself extremely strange, experiencing the strongest hallucinations and showing the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. The tremor limbs, the inability of healthy thoughts and the strongest paranoia - what he had to go through the sake of a scientific experiment.

Among the causes of insomnia, nervous and muscular overvoltage, pain syndrome and digestion disorders, isolated. Duchot, bright light, uncomfortable bed - what prevents sleep. The insomnia itself considers the cause of many diseases, doctors say: you want to recover - first get rid of insomnia. But it happens that a person does not sleep for several days on his own initiative - this may be associated with the work. By doing so, you must be aware of the consequences of the failure in normal life. It is recommended to sleep at night, and not the day, because in complete darkness the human body produces hormone melatonin. Melatonin prolongs youth, improves the work of the brain, protects a person from oncological diseases. Sleep is a medicine needed to everyone.

The Maisi River in Brazil lives an unusual tribe of the Pirach Indians. With the unique life and your faith. Writer and former Missionary Daniel Everset lived among the pirate of 30 years!

They do not know how to count - even to one. They live here and now do not build plans for the future. Past for them does not matter. They do not know no hours, no days, no morning, nor night, and even more so, the routine of the day. They eat when they are hungry, but sleep only by cramps for half an hour, believing that a long sleep takes away the power.

They are unknown private property and care deeply on everything that is value for a modern civilized person. They are not known anxiety, fears and prejudices who overcome 99 percent of the world's population.

People who do not sleep.

What do people say to each other by going to bed? In different cultures, the wishes sound, of course, in different ways, but everywhere they express the hope of saying that his opponent will sleep sweetly, to see in a dream of pink butterflies and wakes up in the morning fresh and full strength. Pirassy " Good night"It sounds like" just do not try to dry! Here everywhere snake! "

Piras believes that sleep is harmful. First, sleep makes you weak. Secondly, in a dream you seem to die and wake up a little more person. And the problem is not that this new person You will not like - you just stop being yourself if you wear too long and often. Well, thirdly, snakes here and really in bulk. So piras do not sleep at night. Dimmed by urabs, for 20-30 minutes, leaving for a palm trees wall or torn under the tree. And the rest of the time they chat, laugh, mastered something, dancing by fires and play with children and dogs. Nevertheless, the dream slowly modifies the pirach - any of them remembers that there were some other people instead instead.

"Those were much less, could not have sex and even fed with breast milk. And then those people go somewhere somewhere, and now instead of them - I. And if I won't sleep for a long time, it may not be disappeared. I found that the focus did not work out and I changed again, I take myself another name ... "On average, the piras change the name every 6-7 years, and for each age they have their own suitable namesSo, by name, you can always say, it is talking about a child, a teenager, a young man, a man or an old man

People without tomorrow.

Perhaps this is the device of life, in which night sleep does not share days with the inevitability of the metronome, allowed the pirach to establish a very strange relationship with the category of time. They do not know what "tomorrow" is and what is "today", and also poorly focus the concepts of "past" and "future". So no calendars, the account of time and other conventions of the pirach do not know. And therefore they never think about the future, as they just do not know how to do it.

Everman first visited Pirach in 1976, when nothing was known about the pirat. And the linguist missionary-ethnographer experienced the first shock when he saw that pirach did not make food stocks. At all. To the tribe, the leading actually primitive lifestyle, did not care about the bottom of the upcoming - this is impossible for all canons. But the fact remains a fact: the pirah does not poison food, they simply catch it and eat (or do not catch and do not eat if the hunting-fishing happiness changes them).

When Pirach has no food, they relate to this phlegmatic. He is generally incomprehensible, why is there every day, and just a few times. They eat no more than two times a day and often arrange unloading days, even when food in the village is a lot.

People without numbers.

For a long time, missionary organizations tolerated Fiasco, trying to cross the hearts of the pirach and send them to the Lord. No, pirachs welcomed the representatives of the Catholic and Protestant missionary organizations, gladly covered their nakedness with beautiful presented shorts and had a canned compote from cans. But on this communication actually ended.

No one could understand the language of the pirach. Therefore, the US Evangelical Church made a clever thing: there were young, but talented linguist. Everett was ready for the fact that the language would be difficult, but he became mistaken: "This language was not complicated, he was unique. Nothing like the earth is no longer found. "

It has only seven consonants and three vowels. Yet more problems with a vocabulary. The pronouns of the pirach do not know and if they need to show in speech the difference between "I", "You" and "they" pirach ineptly use pronsections that use their neighbors of the Tupi Indians (the only people with whom the pirach somehow in contact)

The verbs and their nouns are not particularly divided, and generally familiar to us language norms here seem to be recessed as unnecessary. For example, piras do not understand the meaning of the concept of "one". Here are the badgers, crows, dogs understand, and pirach - no. For them it is so complicated philosophical categorythat anyone who tries to tell the pirach, what it is, at the same time can retell the theory of relativity.

They do not know the numbers and accounts by going around only two concepts: "Several" and "a lot." Two, three and four piranhas are a few, but six - already clearly a lot. What is one piranha? It's just Piranha. It's easier for Russian to explain why the articles are needed before words, than explaining the pirach why to consider Piranhu, if it is a piranha, which is not necessary. Therefore, piras will never believe that they are a small people. There are 300 people, and this is definitely a lot. About 7 billion with them to speak useless: 7 billion is also a lot. You are a lot, and we are MNG, it's just wonderful.

People without politeness.

"Hello", "How are you?", "Thank you", "Goodbye", "Sorry", "please" - a lot of words people of the big world use to show how well they treat each other. Nothing from the above pyroche is not used. And without it, all each other love and do not doubt that everyone surrounding a priori is glad to see them. Politeness is a side child of mutual distrust - the feelings whom the pirate, according to Everette, is completely deprived.

People without shame.

Piras do not understand what shame, wine or insult. If Haaiiohaaa dropped fish into the water is bad. No fish, no lunch. But where is Haiyohaaa? He just dropped fish into the water. If the little kijihioa pushed Okoiokhaiaa, then it is bad, because Okoiokhaaaaa was broken and need to be treated. But it happened because it happened, that's all.

Even the Male children do not scold here and do not shame. They can inform that enough coals from the fire stupid playing on the shore of the child will hold out that he does not fall into the river, but they do not know how to scold piras.

If a breast baby does not take the mother breast - it means no one will feed him forcibly: he knows why he does not eat. If a woman who went to the river to give birth, can ever break and the third day announces screams of the forest - it means she does not want to give birth in fact, but wants to die. There is no need to go there and discourage her to do it. Well, the husband can still go there - suddenly he will have good arguments. But why is it trying there to run a white man with strange iron pieces in a box?

People who see others.

Pirach has surprisingly few rituals and religious representations. Piras know that they are like everyone else - the children of the forest. Forest is full of secrets ... Do not even, the forest is the universe, deprived of laws, logic and ordering. Many spirits live in the forest. All dead go there. Therefore, the forest is scary.

But the fear of the pirach is not the fear of the European. When we are afraid, we are bad. Piracles also consider the fear just a very strong feeling, not devoid of an obsessed charm. We can say that they love to be afraid.

One day Everett waking up in the morning saw that the whole village crowded on the shore. It turned out that the Spirit came there, who wanted to warn pirach about something. Going to the beach, Everett discovered that the crowd stood around an empty place and frightened, but lively with this empty place talked. For words: "There is no one there! I do not see anything, "Everett answered that he was not allowed to see, since the Spirit came to the pirach. And if he needs an Elert, then he will be sent a personal spirit.

People without God.

All of the above made a pyrhech impossible object for missionary work. The idea of \u200b\u200ba single God, for example, buxed among them for the reason that with the concept of "one" pirach, as already mentioned, do not be friends. Messages about what someone created them was also perceived by the pirach inadvertegable. It is necessary, such a big and unlumous kind of man, and does not know how people are being done.

The story of Jesus Christ in the translation to Piragsky also looked not too convincing. The concept of "eyelid" "time" and "history" for pirach empty sound. Listening about a very good man who evil people knocked back to the tree with nails, the pirach asked EFefetta, if he had seen it himself. Not? Was the eefett of a man who saw this Christ? Also no? Then how can he know what was there?

Living among these little, half-starving, never sleeping, not anywhere in any lucky, constantly laughing, it came to the conclusion that a person is much more difficult creature than the Bible says, and religion does not make us better, nor happier. Only years later, he realized that he needed to learn from pirach, and not the futility.

White people have an amazing "talent" - brazenly invade the allegedly undeveloped territories and to impose their rules, customs and religion. The World History of Colonization is a bright confirmation. But after all, once, somewhere on the edge of the earth, a tribe, whose people did not succumb to missionary-educational activities, because this activity seemed to them with nickly and extremely inconclusive.

American preacher, and part-time ethnographer and linguist Daniel Everett in 1977 arrived in the jungle Amazon to carry the Word of God. His goal was to tell about the Bible to those who did not know anything about her - to instruct the true savages and bootiers on the path. But instead, the missionary met people living in such an agreement with the surrounding world that they themselves turned him into their faith, and not vice versa.

For the first time discovered by Portuguese gold leaving 300 years ago, the tribe of the Pirach lives in four villages in the Maica River area, Amazon's influx. And precisely thanks to the American who dedicated the years of life to the study of their life and language, it acquired worldwide fame.

The history of Jesus Christ did not impress any impression on the Indians of the Pirach. The idea that the missionary seriously believes the stories about the man who he himself never saw was to be top absurd.

Dan Everett: "I was only 25. Then I was a hot believer. I was ready to die for faith. I was ready to do everything she would need. Then I did not understand that imposing to other people's beliefs is the same colonization, only colonization at the level of beliefs and ideas. I came to tell them about God and about salvation so that these people could get to heaven, and not to hell. But I met there special people, for which most things that were important for me did not matter. They could not understand what I decided to have the right to explain to them how to live. "

"The quality of their life was in many ways better than most religious people I knew. I found the worldview of these Indians very inspiring and correct, "Eversett recalls.

But not only the vital philosophy of Pirach shakes the system of values \u200b\u200bof the young scientist. The language of the Aboriginal turned out to be so unlike all other well-known language groups, which literally turned the traditional idea of \u200b\u200bthe fundamental basics of linguistics. "Their language is not so complicated how unique. Nothing like the Earth is no longer found. " Compared to the rest, the language of these people seems "more than strange" - in it there are only seven consonants and three vowels. But on the pirach you can say, hum, whistling and even communicate with birds.

One of their books that Everett wrote under the impression of "incredible and very other Indians," is called: "Don't Sleep There Are Snakes!" That literally translates: "Do not sleep, everywhere snake!" And indeed, among the piras, it is not customary to sleep for a long time - only 20-30 minutes and only as needed. They are convinced that a long sleep can change a person, and if you sleep a lot, there is a risk of losing yourself, becoming completely different. The number of day they have no fact, and regular eight-hour sleep is simply not needed. For this reason, they do not sleep at night, but only dormant on a little bit where their fatigue will overtake them. In order not to sleep, they rub their eyelids by juice of one of the tropical plants.

Watching changes to your body related to the stages of mature and aging, piras believe that everything is a dream. Gradually, changing, each Indian takes itself a new name - it happens on average every six to eight years. For each age they have their own names, so that knowing the name, you can always say about whom there is a question - about the child, a teenager, adult or an old man.

25 years of Eversette missionary in no way influenced the beliefs of the pirach. But the scientist, in turn, once and permanently nazed with religion and plunged into scientific activities even stronger, becoming a professor of linguistics. Capturing the worlds of Aboriginal, Daniel, and then came across things that were hard to fit in his head. One of these phenomena is the absolute lack of account and numeral. The Indians of this tribe use only two respective words: "Several" and "Many".

"Piracles do not use numbers, because they do not need them - they are perfectly fulfilled without it. Once I asked me: "It turns out, the mother of the pirach does not know how many children have them?" I replied: "They do not know the exact number of their children, but they know them by name and on persons. They do not need to know the number of children to recognize them and love. "

An even more supernatural seems the absence of individual words to designate colors. It is difficult to believe in it, but the aborigines living in the midst of the tropical jungle filled with bright colors, there are only two words denoting the colors of this world - "light" and "dark". At the same time, all Pirahã successfully pass the drawing test, distinguishing the silhouettes of birds and animals in the mixing of multi-colored smears.

Unlike the neighbors from other tribes, this folk does not create decorative patterns on their bodies, which indicates a complete absence of art. Pirak has no forms of past and future time. Myths and legends also do not exist - collective memory is lined up only on the personal experience of the oldest of the now living members of the tribe. At the same time, each of them possesses truly encyclopedic knowledge about thousands of plants, insects and animals - remember all the names, properties and features.

The next phenomenon of these extraordinary residents of deaf Brazilian Selva - the complete absence of the idea of \u200b\u200baccumulation of food. All that is mined on hunting or fishing is immediately eaten. And after the new portion, they only go very hungry. If the catering for the provinet does not bring results, they relate to this philosophically - they say, often there is also harmful, like a lot to sleep. The idea of \u200b\u200bthe workpieces of food will seem as ridiculous as Rosskazni whitening people about one God.

Piras eat no more than two times a day, and sometimes, and even less often. Watching the Eversett with the family was shuting off its next lunch, lunch or dinner, piras sincerely wondered "Is it possible so much? You will die so much! "

With private property - everything is not like people. Most of the things are common. Is that uncomplicated clothes and personal weapons for each of their own. However, if a person does not use one or another subject, it means he doesn't need him. And, therefore, such a thing with ease can be borrowed. If this fact will upset the former owner, then it will be returned to him. It should also be noted that children of pirants do not have toys that however, no one bothers them to play with each other, plants, dogs and forest spirits.

If you go out to find people free from any prejudice on our planet, then there are piras here in the first place. No learned joy, no false courtesy, no "thank you", "Sorry" and "please." Why it all needs it, when pirah and so each other love without any stupid formalities. Moreover, they do not doubt it for a second that not only the tribesmen, but the rest of the people are always happy to see them. Feeling shame, resentment, guilt or regret they are also alien. What is entitled to do what he wants. Nobody raises anyone and does not say. It is impossible to imagine that one of them stole or killed.

"You will not meet the syndrome in Pirach chronic fatigue. You will not come true here with suicide. The very idea of \u200b\u200bsuicide contradicts their nature. I have never seen anything from them, at least reminding mental disorderswhich we associate with depression or melancholy. They just live today, and they are happy. They sing at night. It is just a phenomenal degree of satisfaction - without psychotropic drugs and antidepressants "- shares the impressions of Everett, who dedicated Pirahà for more than 30 years of his life.

The relationship between children of the jungle with the world of dreams also go beyond the familiar framework. "They have a completely different concept of objective and subjective. Even when they see dreams, they do not separate them from real life. The experience experienced in a dream is considered as important as the experience gained during wakefulness. Thus, if I dreamed, I walked around the moon, then from their point of view, I really made such a walk, "explains Den.

Piraches see themselves an integral part of nature - the children of the forest. For them, the forest is a complex living organism, in relation to which they are experiencing a genuine thrill, and sometimes even fear. The forest is filled with inexplicable and strange things that they do not try to solve. And there is still a whole set of mysterious spirits. Piras believe that after death, their ranks will certainly be completed - then they will receive answers to all questions. In the meantime, there is no point in scoring yourself with any nonsense.

Everett has repeatedly observed how his Indian friends are extremely animated, they communicate with invisible perfumes - as if this is ordinary people. To the question of why the scientist does not see anything like this, he received a feather response every time - they say that there is no obscure - the spirits came not to him, but to the pirah.

Contrary to the concerns of Daniel, associated with the possible disappearance of the tribe due to the collision with the large world, the number of piras today has increased from 300 to 700 people. Being in four days of the river path, the tribe and today lives quite apart. Here still almost do not build houses and do not handle the soil to ensure their needs, fully relying on nature. Clothing is the only concession of the pirate of modern life. They extremely reluctantly perceive the benefits of civilization. "They agree to accept only certain gifts. They need fabric, tools, machete, aluminum dishes, threads, matches, sometimes - lanterns and batteries, hooks and fishing line. They never ask anything big - only little things, "comments Dan, who thoroughly studied the morals and preferences of their unusual friends.

"I think they are happy because they do not worry about the past and the future. They feel that they are able to take care of their needs today. They do not seek to get things that do not possess. If I give something to them - good. If not - also good. Unlike us, they are not materialists. They appreciate the opportunity to travel quickly and easily. I never anywhere (even among other Amazonian Indians) did not meet such a relaxing attitude towards material objects. "

As you know, nothing changes the consciousness and inner world as traveling. And the farther from the house it is possible to climb, the stronger and more powerful this effect. The way out of the framework of a familiar and habitual world can become the strongest, bright and unforgettable experience in life. It is worth leaving the comfort zone to see what I have not seen before, and learn about what I had no idea about.

"I often conducted parallels between the worldview Pirahã and Zen Buddhism," continues Everett. "As for the Bible, I realized that for a long time was a hypocrite, because I myself did not believe in what he said. A person is a much more difficult creature than the sacred Scripture tells, and religion does not make us better, nor happier. Currently, I am working on a book called "Muddy travelers" - how important and useful lessons we can get from people who are very different from ourselves. And the more these differences, the more we can learn. None in any library you will not get such valuable experience. "

It is hardly from someone on this planet there is an accurate determination of what happiness is. Perhaps happiness is life without regrets and fear before the future. People of megacols are difficult to understand how much it is possible. But, the natives from the tribe of the pirach, living "here and now", in a different way, simply do not know how. What they do not see themselves do not exist for them. Such people do not need God. "We don't need heaven, we need the fact that on Earth," they say the happiest people in the world - people, whose persons never goes down - the Indians of the pyrhy.

Today at Big world Only three people speak Pirahã - Everett, his ex-wife, and a missionary who was the predecessor of Daniel in the lost jungle of Amazon.

What is the language and culture of pirah? Here are their main signs (and the main sign - the emergency poverty of abstract thinking):

1. The world's poorest set in the world. There are only three vocabulary (A, I, O) and eight consonants (p, t, k, ', b, g, s, h). True, almost each of the consonants corresponds two allophones. In addition, the language has a "whistling" version used to transmit signals on the hunt.


2. Absolute no account. All other peoples of the world, how primitive them would be, are able to consider at least two, i.e., distinguish "one", "two" and more than two. Peaks do not know how to consider even ... to one. They do not distinguish the uniqueness and multiplicity. Show them one finger and two fingers - and they will not see the difference. They have only two relevant words: 1) "small / one or a little" and 2) "big / many". It should be noted here that there is no word "finger" in the language of Piraga (there is only a "hand"), and they never show a finger to anything to the whole brush.


3. Lack of perception of integrity and particular. There are no words "all", "part", "some" in the language of Piraga. If all the members of the tribe ran to the river to swim, then the story of the pyram will sound like this: "A. I went to swim, B. went, V. went, big / many piraga went / went. " Also, the pirand has no sense of proportion. White merchants from the end of the 18th century are with them a monthly trade and all misunderstand: Pirah can bring a couple of Parrot feathers and demanding all the journal of steaming, but may dock something huge and expensive and demand a sip of vodka.


4. Lack of subordination in syntax. So, the phrase "He told me how he would go," the pira is not translated literally.


5. Emergency poverty pronouns. Until recently, Pirara most likely there were no personal pronoun ("I", "you", "he", "she"); Those they use today are completely clearly borrowed from the Tsupi neighbors.


6. The absence of individual words to designate colors, and, therefore, their weak perception. Strictly speaking, there are only two words: "light" and "dark".


7. Emergency poverty of kinship concepts. These are only three: "parent", "child" and "brother / sister" (without any sex difference). In addition, the "parent" means both grandfather, grandmother, etc.; "Child" - grandson, etc. Words "uncle", "cousin", etc. not. And since there are no words, there are no concepts. For example, sexual intercom with a nephew is not considered incessant, because No concepts "aunt" and "nephew".


8. Lack of any collective memory, more long than personal experience The most old one of the living members of the tribe. For example, modern pirants are not aware that there was once the time when white people in the district did not have that they had ever come.


9. Almost complete absence of any myths or religious beliefs. All their metaphysics are based exclusively on sleep; True, even here they do not have a clear idea of \u200b\u200bwhat is the world. It should be noted here that there are no separate words "thought" and "dreams" in the language of the patigate. "I said," "I thought" and "I saw in a dream" sounds the same, and only the context allows you to guess what is meant. There is no hint on the myth of creation. Pirah live in the present time and today.


10. Almost a complete absence of art (no patterns, the bodies are not painted, no gray or rings are in the nose). It should be noted that children of pirants do not have toys.


11. Lack of consistent daily rhythm of life. All other people awake in the afternoon, and sleep at night. Pirah has no such thing: they sleep at different times and gradually. I wanted to sleep - lay, I slept 15 minutes or an hour, I got up, went hunting, then I slept a little again. Therefore, the phrase "the village plunged into peaceful sleep" to the feast not applicable.


12. No food accumulation. There are no labases and storages. Everyone brought from the hunt meat is immediately eaten, and if the next hunt is unsuccessful - they go hungry until it is lucky again.

With all this, pirants are very satisfied with their lives. They consider themselves the most charming and attractive, and the rest are some strange subhockers. They call themselves the word, literally translated as "normal people", and all non-piragas (and white and other Indians) are "brains of racing". Interestingly, the closest (in genetic relationship) to them the Moore Indians were once obviously the same as they were, but then assimilated with neighboring tribes, lost their tongue - and their primitiveness - and became "civilized". Pirants remain the same as they were, and on Moore look down.

Here are still stories about the tribes and traditions: is it really? Here here and you know. Here is the last such topic as

Today, Yakov is 62 years old, and it looks not older than 45 years old. The wife of Karina long ago got sick with his unique abilities, and the son Alexander seeks to become the same as his father. It seems to be an ordinary family from Minsk. Everything really was like everyone else, if it were not for the existence of such an unusual phenomenon that found around the world quite rarely.

Everything happened in everyday life in 1979. At a time, when Yakov turned 26 years old, the first spouse, surrounding, attempted to poison her husband. She ended for Yakov clinical death, intensive care, and practically a weekly room.

After he came to himself, he stopped learning the world around. Yakov said that he felt changes in his thoughts, and the information was present in the head, which he never knew. A lot of Yakov could not understand and looked unchatoring through his mind.

He discovered around himself a completely different world and absolutely everything began to perceive clearly. Yakov began to see the circumstances and the consequences of various situations. He understood that this is not the fruit of imagination, all this came from somewhere in his head. Jacob felt like another person.

Yakov became a toy vanka-standing

However, this is not all. Sometimes it happens that afterwards some extreme cases, a person is completely changing. But with Yakov, it happened - he stopped learning his body. Sometimes he fell himself: Hands, legs, head. It seems to be everything in its place, however, he is unfamiliar. It was surprisingly to feel like a hand or foot reacts to teams quite differently.

Strange moments did not end on this. After rising to ordinary life, Jacob suddenly realized that he could not sleep. He really wanted to sleep, but did not sleep. It was not an ordinary insomnia when the dream does not go. Jacob simply could not even lie down.

He began to feel like a toy Vanka-stand, which, no matter how to put, she will take vertical position. He fell into bed, but some invisible force raised him back. As soon as Jacob began to darish, something clicked in his head, and he immediately returned to the waking phase. It was terrible. Yakov fought for sleep. However, it was delayed first for a week, then for a month and even for a year. He experienced insane fear, because it was not hoping that his body would be able to withstand such a load.

Incredible physical capabilities

But soon the coup happened. Forces Yakov Steel, on the contrary, arrive. Muscular weight increased by itself, and the weight increased. There was a feeling of great physical strength that arose from somewhere from the inside. The feeling of fatigue disappeared.

Once, Jacob decided to establish the measure of its capabilities in the physical plane. For 9 o'clock with several breaks, he was able to spawn 10 thousand times, but fatigue, which would help to fall asleep, did not feel.

The disappearance of Sleep Jacob now does not perceive as physiological torment. He just became psychologically dependent. This dependence implies that a person must sleep. Insenty, he began to endure enough easily. This can be compared with the completion of the painful process of forming a new human organismAnd the beginning of its growth.

His life is one long day

And, in the end, about another extraordinary peculiarity of Yakov learned after many years with a personal meeting with classmates who have been manifested with gray and wrinkles over the years. What was the surprise of Jacob when he realized that she had absolutely not changed. His body as if he stopped in place.

For Yakov, the time has ceased to exist. Day and night have become indivisible. Life for cyperovich is one long day. He lives out of time and believes that life is eternal.

Available objective evidence The existence of the process of preserving the human body. For a long time, the body temperature in Yakova was no more than 34 degrees and just just a year ago rose to 35 degrees. The processes of aging and metabolism slowed down in his body. However, Yakov is still impossible to consider immortal.

Path to immortality

How does medicine applies to this? After all, most likely, this phenomenon will help develop a way with which you can live forever. Plus, the physical strength and a lot of time for self-development, work and creation. Science in such cases nothing is known.

About health workers and doctors of sciences Yakov speaks with a chagrin. His abilities nobody explored seriously. On their own initiative, Yakov was examined more than once. In the hospital, he was carried out a power acephalogram and took tests. There were no pathologies in his body, since the tests were perfect. Yakov even almost accused of pretending.

Medicine could not help him

At first, he visited the clinic of Moscow and St. Petersburg. Yakov was examined in such professors as Vane and Ilyin. However, at the Bekhterev's Brain Institute, he was refused even in inspection. These doctors substantiated the fact that many people do not sleep, and there is nothing special.

Insofar as traditional medicine He did not help him to cure, Yakov turned to psychic Jun in Moscow, as well as the Minsk psychoneurologists of Pavlin and Semenova. They did not report anything new, but only grinned, saying that she had enough of their problems. Yakov concluded that his abilities do not cause completely no interest among others.

How can you use additional eight working hours, with excellent physical health?

Yakov replied that this time he did not use. For him, this is not an extra time, but the usual, like any person. At night, when everyone slept and cannot be engaged in some kind of noisy things, he is engaged in ordinary: reads, writes or something thinks.

Fighting this insomnia in vain

Over the past year, Yakov stopped spending a lot of time at trying to fall asleep. However, with meditation, he learned to disconnect from the world for several hours.

At first, he tried to fight insompery with sleeping pills. Yakov took such drugs as Radedorm, Relanium and Elnyium in large doses. The medications did not help, instead of sleep, the feelings of weakness and decay of forces appeared. However, it could not replace a full-fledged sleep. In this regard, from drugs Yakov was forced to refuse completely. And yet, he still wants to be an ordinary person who is able to sleep.

Cyperovich's fame became dangerous

Yakov writes poems, philosophical-lyrical character. About him removed the film in Japan and France. He wrote about the central and district press. In addition, the phenomenon of Jacob Typerovich was made by the transmission at the Belarusian radio station "Freedom".

Yakov was very unhappy with the work of journalists, because after the next publications about his life in the newspaper, he could not get out calmly into the street. In the courtyard of Yakov Karaully people to ask their questions. His phone was constantly broken from frequent calls. All this did not fit the novel lifestyle of Yakov.

In addition, his life ceased to be safe. One day, even the sectarians came to him who had long stared at the door, demanding for something meeting with him. On that day, Yakov saved the Big Caucasian Shepherd, living with him. He concluded that being the famous is not so pleasant as it seemed.

Where do people have such phenomena? Probably, they are harbing a new period. Today there are few such people. They are not easy in life. They are alone. It was on people with such a phenomenon a big mission is entrusted to change the opinions of the people and open their eyes to the world around them, which is so huge and implanious in their diversity.

Surely most readers know that without sleep, the middle man can stretch no longer than without food. If you were not able to sleep alone, two or even three nights in a row, then you will agree that insomnia for many years is something outside human opportunities. But actually exist separate peoplewho did not close the eyes for decades, feeling quite good. And no, now we are not talking about fictional characters like the main characters of the "Fight Club" or "Machinist", but about real persons.

Al Kherpin

One of the earliest mention of a person who is fully able to do without sleep belongs to Allu Herpin. This man was born in 1862 in Paris, and then moved to New Jersey, USA. According to his statements, he never slept throughout his life. And after numerous experiments and experiments, which scientists put on it, he proved that it can really be fragile without sleep.

Alla repeatedly investigated scientists, which again and again came to the conclusion - the physical condition of their ward, despite the complete lack of sleep, is absolutely normal. Researchers offered various reasons that could provoke this phenomenon, but it was not possible to configure this phenomenon. Al Herpin himself seized the point of view of his mother, which assumed that unusual quality was caused by the fact that it was accidentally hurt right before the childbirth. But much more interesting was exactly how Khurpin is able to maintain normal vital activity without sleep.

One of the possible answers to this question by scientist suggested by nature itself. Some whales are able to do without rest for several months. But at the same time they are alternately "swelling" the left hemisphere of the brain, the right. Such an explanation of the absence of sleep was offered during the examination of Alla Herpina - but was not confirmed experimentally.

How did Alo felt? What lifestyle he led? This man preferred a modest farming. In the morning and before the evening he worked, ensuring herself to feed. Of course, after the exhausting physical work, Herpin was tired. However, instead of sleep, he just sat down in a chair and read, until he felt sufficiently rested to continue the work. Herpin survived many of his researchers and died in 94 years.

David Jones

David Jones is another American farmer who can do without sleep for a long time. But, unlike Herpina, Jones sometimes slept. True, I did this about three to four months.

The news about David Jones came to the American newspaper in 1895. There is mentioned that two years ago, Johns had an impression of insomnia with a length of 93 days, and another year after that - 131 days without sleep. The newspaper indicates that Herpina again begins an episode of permanent wakefulness, which lasts three weeks. At the farmer set medical observation. Doctors noted that he eaten, talked, worked and communicated David as usual. Judging by his testimony, he did not experience any particular fatigue from the lack of sleep. And the farmer obviously did not upset the prospect, never to sleep again - he, on the contrary, rejoiced the prospect of working quietly and have a lot of free time.

The fact that David Jones slept after that another attack, nothing is known - scientists quickly surrendered and stopped observation of the farmer, and he himself clearly did not want an extra popularity, and therefore it did not shine anywhere else.

Already the second phenomenon is an American farmer

Rachel Sagi.

Rachel Sagi - Housewife from Hungary. Once in the morning in 1911, she woke up from a terrifying headache, which pursued her for a long time. Rachel could not understand the reason for such a migraine and appealed to the doctor. The doctor suggested that pain can be caused by sleep abuse. The prescription of the doctor was simple - sleep less, hours 5-7 per day. As it turned out, the doctor was right only in part - headaches were really associated with sleep. As soon as the housewife stopped sleeping at all, the migraine passed and no longer returned. Rachel succeeded without sleeping 25 years old - from that visit to the doctor, she never closed the eyes to the very death.

Not so much information was preserved about Rachel - there was no thorough studies, or they were not published. The housewife itself told the newspapers (which sometimes raised it as a sensational theme), which feels quite normal, and not more tired than when the dream was part of her routine of the day.

Valentin Medina

Very remarkable history of 61-year-old Valentine Medina. This man, not possessing sufficient funds, could not buy a train ticket to Madrid in 1960. So, being a person stubbornly, he just went to the destination on foot from Southern Castile. The road with a length of 140 miles Valentine caught for four days. Sometimes Medina stayed on the sidelines to give rest to the tired feet. What caused the poor man so desperately go to Madrid? The fact is that Valentine suffered from many years of insomnia. According to the statements of the man himself, he never slept in his life. Local doctors of the Southern Castile could not help him, so he headed for the doctors of larger cities. Those adopted Valentine and, questioning the truth of his story, contacted doctors from his hometown. They, to the surprise of scientists, confirmed the uniqueness of Valentine's state.

One of the doctors knew the medina yet a little boy - and then it was proved that he never sleeps. The boy was brought to Dr. the boy, his father was concerned about the state of the Son.

Madrid doctors examined and examined Valentine, but no pathologies were found. The man was completely healthy - as much as possible for the 61-year-old poor man. Doctors have gathered money for Valentine on the return ticket and sent it home, equipping the packaging of powerful sedative. Medina regularly accepted the medicine until it realized that it acts an undesirable way - drowsiness did not come, but the legs became wadd. It bothered a man in his work.

Subsequently, journalists appealed to him. Medina told that he didn't know how to write, nor read - and it is very upset. According to Valentine, literacy could help him pass sleepless nights - he could do reading books.

Ustas Bernett

Ustas Bernett is another farmer on our list, but this time Englishman. This man just stopped sleeping at the age of 27 (approximately in 1900). Before that, it was not obvious to have no deviations in sleep mode. Ustasa visited doctors from the entire planet who wanted live to look at this phenomenon. Many tried to make him fall asleep, applying medicines or hypnosis. From the latter, Bernett had only a headache, and the sleeping pills only deprived the body of mobility and the speed of the reaction - but the sleep did not go anywhere.

Ustas himself is not very upset by the state of affairs. Every night, while his household sleeps, he lies in the bed about six hours to give a relaxed body. Lived Ustas over 80 years, without complaining of fatigue or drowsiness.

So far there is no scientific explanation for this phenomenon. What is not surprising, because people suffering from chronic lack of sleep is not so much. But, it is possible when the reasons for such an unusual phenomenon are found, we will get more control over sleep mode.

The consequences of a sleepless week for the human body.
Dedicated to people of hard professions.

First day


If a person does not sleep a day, then no serious consequences for his health will cause it, but a long time of wakefulness will lead to a collection of circadian cycle, which is determined by the setting of human biological watches.

Scientists believe that approximately 20,000 neurons in the hypothalamus are responsible for biological rhythms of the body. This is the so-called suprachiamatic core.

The circadian rhythms are synchronized with the 24-hour light cycle of the day and night and are associated with brain activity and metabolism, therefore even a daily delay in a dream will lead to a minor violation in the work of the body systems.

If a person is not sleeping for a day, he, first, will feel fatigue, secondly, he may have problems with memory and attention. This is due to the violation of the neocortex functions responsible for the memory and ability to learn.
Second-third day


If a person does not go to bed two-thro days, then a violation of coordination in movements will be added to fatigue and problems with memory, serious problems with the concentration of thoughts and visual concentration will begin. Due to the depletion of the nervous system, a nervous tick may appear.

Because of the violations in the work of the frontal share of the brain, a person will start losing the ability to create creative thinking and focusing on the task, it will be alone, clispusted.

In addition to the "brain" complications, a digestive system will also begin "rebel". This is due to the fact that a long time of wakefulness activates in the body a protective evolutionary mechanism "Turning or running".

A person will enhance the development of leptin and the appetite will increase (with addiction to salty and fatty food), the body, in response to the stressful situation, will launch the function of preserving fats and generating hormones responsible for insomnia. A person, oddly enough, in this period will not be easy to fall asleep, even if he wants.
Fourth-fifth day


On the fourth and fifth day without sleep, a person can start appearing hallucinations, it will become extremely irritable. Five days after a person, a person will slow down the work of the main brain sites, neural activity will be extremely weak.

Serious violations will be observed in the parietal zone responsible for logic and mathematical abilities, therefore, the solution even the simplest arithmetic tasks will be an unbearable task for a person.

Because of violations in the temporal share responsible for speech abilities, a person's speech will become even more incomplete than the third day without sleep.

Already mentioned hallucinations will begin to occur due to failure in the work of the prefrontal cortex of the brain.
Sixth seventh days


On the sixth seventh days without sleep, a person will have little similar to himself at the beginning of this sleepless marathon. His behavior will be extremely strange, hallucinations will be both visual and auditory.

At the official record holder on Besnson, the American student Randy Gardner (did not sleep 254 hours, 11 days) Syndromes typical of Alzheimer's disease appeared without sleep, there were strong hallucinations and paranoia appeared.

He took road sign For man and believed that the leading radio station wants to kill him.

Gardner had a strong tremor of the extremities, he could not talk connected, the decision of simple tasks put him in a dead end - he just forgot that he had just been told and what was the task.

By the seventh days without sleep, the body will experience a serious stress of all organism systems, the brain neurons will be low-active, the heart muscle is worn, immunity due to the passivity of T-lymphocytes will almost cease to resist viruses and bacteria, the liver will experience huge loads.

In general, such experiments with health are extremely dangerous.
