coming up in our next half hour, where your tax dollars are being spent. the stung new report that has taxpayers seeing red. millions of dollars spent on everything from weight loss plans for truck drivers to studying the dating habits of senior citizens. >> but first, it's something about which we all know all too well. the science behind what really happens to our bodies when we don't get enough sleep.

throw back to our head banger days. any. >> well, it is a subject that's near and dear to our hearts here at "world news now." sleep deprivation.

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 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, dan childs stayed awake for 50 hours to find out the effect of sleep deprivation on concentration, coordination and the ability to complete tasks. dan was not allowed a wink of

>> when you're sleep deprived, humans eat more. >> he craved carbs like cereal and pie and forced himself to be active to stay awake. >> this lego is is apparently for ages 6 to 12 into he even worked out and found his body was much more awake after exercising. but his low points came in the morning hours. awake. >> reporter: after being awaking for 50 hours, dan was disoriented and unable to complete simple tasks not to mention utterly exhausted. >> probably have 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 if someone picked up the room and turned it 90 dgds. i couldn't find my way around or my way out. i went directly home. i slept for about ten hours.

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? 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 cogmytive test, it was very clear that 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 or do something else and they run a risk of hurting themselves. >> they feel as if they're quite fine. sleep is a major issue for many viewers. what sort of advice after coming out of all there do you have for people who have to keep odd

>> 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 enough sleep and stay discipline 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. >> many of us have been in be that situation of tossing, tun turning, not being able to go to sleep. what's your advice for that snug. >> 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 sleeping it dark enough and cool enough to let you sleep through the night to, make sure to minimize distractions. if you're really running into problems, if you find that you have trouble falling asleep every single night, that's really the time where you need to seek out your doctor's opinion. you need to see a sleep expert and see what can be done to

there's a larger underlying >> okay. dan childs, appreciate it. >> thank you. and stay with us. 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 i'm gonna take mucinex 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 have gold 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.

first speaker to sport a beard in about 100 years. the historian said yeah, you know what the last speaker to do it was well-known frederick huntington who was a speaker from 1919 to 1925 who sported a beard. >> interesting. >> we'll see if he'll have it 12th of january. we've been talking about christmas gifts. we have one coming out today which a lot of people might be excited about. a remote control oscar mayer wienermobile. like a miniature wienermobile. it's remote controlled. it's coming out today. this is the best part i thought. it's large enough to deliver two hot dogs. a special compartment inside. i love loft hot dogs. available for purchase for $25 through the oscar mayer website but only in limited numbers. >> if it can bring you a beer, as well, i would relish the thought of it. this is really cool if you're a
