There's a word for the feeling of not wanting to get out of bed
Isn't it great when there's actually a word to reflect such a distinct feeling? Dysania is the word we're referring to in this case. We've all had the feeling of not wanting to leave bed. Some of us are even feeling it right now, at 3 in the afternoon. The feeling almost feels more valid knowing there's a name for it, right?

The record number of days you can go without sleep is 11
This is unimaginable. I can't even fathom going to bed past 11 p.m. If you can avoid it, we definitely recommend not going 11 days without sleep. The symptoms of sleep deprivation do not sound fun -- confusion, memory loss, hallucinations, and even death.
