The Russian Sleep Experiment

The Russian Sleep Experiment was conducted in a secret Soviet research facility. The subjects were political prisoners promised their freedom if they survived 30 days without sleep. The chamber was filled with a stimulant gas to keep them awake, and researchers monitored them through microphones and thick glass windows.

At first, everything seemed normal. The subjects conversed, remained calm, and even displayed high levels of energy. But soon, things began to change.
