>> i can't imagine that you had any. >> well, it is a subject that's near and dear to our hearts here at "world news nowow sleepdeprivation. if you're watching us right now, you're probably in the same boat. >> you may recall during gma's epic live stream event two weeks ago, the managing editor of our medical stayed up for 50 straight hours to see what what would happen to his body and mind. boy, did he ever. >> reporter: we're a nation running on empty. up to 70 million americans arere not getting enough sleep. one night of bad sleep can lead to problems concentrating and accidents like car crashes. so we wanted to put the human body to an extreme sleep test to fifi out how it would react. >> it's quite likely i'll start to lose it a little bit. >> reporter: under the supervision of doctors at mount sinai center for sleep medicine, dan childs stayed awake foror 50 hours to find out the effect of

i couldn't find my way around or my way out. i went directly home. i slept for about ten hours. woke up. ate like half a chicken, fell back asleep for ten more hours. in the first 24 hours after the experiment, i was asleep for 20 of them it took a lot of recovery. >> what surprised you most about the whole thing? >> there were a number of things. number one, i think thatt itt was even possible that i could get through this 50 hours but the other thing, and this is really interesting was that i felt as if even during the end of the experiment, as if i was capable of doing certainthings. but then when we did like the sobriety test, the cogmytive test, it was very clear that i wasn't actually doing these things very well at all. i think thateflects one of the problems with a ate sleep deprivation. people get behind the wheel or do something else and they run a risk of hurting themselves. >> they feel as if they're quite fine.

whatort of advice after coming out of all there do you have for people who have to keep odd hours perhaps because of work? >> most experts say the trick is to keep a schedulele no matter what your shift happens to be, make sure you have a regular sort of schedule that allows enough sleep and stay discline disciplined to that. as long as you get hours you need, you're probably going to be okay. once you start cutting into that or making it irregular, that's where you un into problems. >> many of us have been in be that situation of tossing, tun turning, not being able to g g to sleep. what's your advice for that snug. >> there are a couple things people can do. one of the things is practicing wh's called good sleep hygiene. kind of a funny sounding term. what it means is making sure that the place in which you're sleeping it dark enough and cool enough to let you sleep through the night to, make sure to minimizedistractions. if you're really running into problems, if y findhat you have trouble falling asleep

>> announcer: "world news now" throw back to our head

>> i can't imagine that you had any. well, it is a subject that's nene and dear to our hearts here at "world news now." sleep deprivation. if you're watching us right now, you're probably in the same boat. >> you may recall during gma's epic live stream event two weeks ago, the managing editor of our medical te stayed up for 50 straight hours to see what would happen to his body and mind. boy, did he ever. . >> reporter: we'e' a nation running on empty. up to 70 million americans are not getting enough sleep. one night of bad sleep can lead to problems concentrating and accidents like car crashes. so we wanted to put the human body to an extreme sleep test to find out how it would react. >> it's quite likely i'll start to lose it a little bit. >> reporter: under the supervision of doctors at mount sinai center for sleep medicine, abc news' dan childs stayed

the effect of sleep deprivation on things like concentration, coordination and the ability to complete tasks. dan was not allowed a wink of sleep or a sip of caffeine. >> when you're sleep deprived, humans eat more. >> he craved carbs like cereal and pie and forced himsese to be active to stay awake. >> this lego is apparently for ages 6 to 12. >> reporter: dan even worked out and found out his body was much more awake after exercising. but his low points c ce in the morning hours. >> i'm doing i can to stay awake. >> reporter: after being awake for 50 hours, dan was disoriented and unable to complete simple tasks not to memeion utterly exhausted. >> probably haha a couple of hours left in me and then we'll see happens. >> dan childs joins us now live. what did happen after the experiment? >> well, the experiment after the 50 hours, we went back to the hospital room where i had been staying for 40 hours. i was completely disoriented as

and turned it 90 degrees. i couldn't find my way around or my way out. i went directly home. i slept for about ten hours. woke up. ate like halala chicken, fell back asleep for ten more hours. in the first 24 hours after the experiment, i was asleep for 20 of them. it took a lot of recovery. >> what surprised you most about the whole thing? >> there were a number of things. number one, i think that it was even possible that i could get through this 50 hours but the other thing, and this is really interesting was that i felt as if even during the end of the experiment, as if i was capable of doing certain things. but then when we did like the sobriety test, the cognitive test, it was very clear that i wasn't, i wasn't actually doing these things very well at all. i think that reflects one of the problems with acute sleep deprivation. people get behind the wheel do something else and they run a risk of hurting thememlves. >> they feel as if they're quite

sleep is a major issue for many viewers. what sort of advice after coming out of all there do you have for ople who have to keeeeodd hours perhaps because of work? >> most experts say the trick is to keep a schedule, no matter what your shift happens to be, make sure you have a regular sort of schedule that allows enengh sleep and stay disciplined to that. as long as you get hours you need, you're probably going to be okay. once you start cutting into that or making it irregular, that's where you run into problems. with chronic sleep deprivation. >> many of us have been in that situation of tossing, turning, not being able to go to sleep. what's your advice for that? >> well, there are a couple things people can do. one of the things is practicing what's called good sleep hygiene. kind of a funny sounding term. what it means is making sure that the place in which you're sleepipi is dark enough and cool enough to let you sleep through the night to make sure to minimize distractions.

have trouble falling asleep every single night, that's really the time where you need to seeeeout your doctor's opinion. you need to see a sleep expert and see what can be done to improve things and see if there's a larger underlying problem that's keeping you awake. >> okay. dan childs, appreciate it. >> thank you. and stay with us. we'll bebeight back.. we'll be right back. so how ya doing? enough pressure in here for ya? ugh. my sinuses are killing me. yeah...just wait 'til we hit ten thousand feet. i'm gonna take mucinex sinus-mama too late, we're about to take off. these dissolve fast. they're new liquid gels. and you're coming with me... wait, what?! you realize i haveveold status? do i still get the miles? new mucinex sinus-max liquid gels. dissolves fast to unleash max strength medicine. start the relief. ditch the misery.
