RUSSIAN SLEEP EXPERIMENT
In the late 1940s , a gas was discovered to deprive one fully of sleep, the gas was called Nikolaqev. Researchers where trying to find out if the human body can take 30 days of no sleep, 5 test subjects where chosen for the experiment, these 5 test subjects where political prisoners, deemed enemies of the state. The prisoners where promised there freedom where they to survive the experiment. They were kept in a sealed environment to carefully monitor their oxygen intake so the gas wouldn't kill them because the gas was toxic in high concentration

  

This was before closed circuit cameras so they had only microphones and 5 inch thick glass porthole sized windows into the chamber to monitor them. The chamber was stocked with 

books, cots to sleep on but no bedding, running water and toilet, and enough dried food to last all five subjects for over a month.

Everything was fine for the first five days; the subjects hardly complained having been promised (falsely) that they would be freed if they submitted to the test and did not sleep for 30 days. Their conversations and activities were monitored and it was noted that they continued to talk about increasingly traumatic incidents in their past, and the general tone of their conversations took on a darker aspect after the 4 day mark.

After five days they started to complain about the circumstances and events that lead them to where they were and started to demonstrate severe paranoia. They stopped talking to each other and began alternately whispering to the microphones and one way mirrored portholes. Oddly they all seemed to think they could win the trust of the experimenters by turning over their comrades, the other subjects in captivity with them. At first the researchers suspected this was an effect of the gas itself...

After nine days the first of them started screaming. He ran the length of the chamber repeatedly yelling at the top of his lungs for 3 hours straight, he continued attempting to scream but was only able to produce occasional squeaks. The researchers postulated that he had physically torn his vocal cords. The most surprising thing about this behavior is how the other captives reacted to it... or rather didn't react to it. They continued whispering to the microphones until the second of the captives started to scream. The 2 non-screaming captives took the books apart, smeared page after page with their own feces and pasted them calmly over the glass portholes. The screaming promptly stopped.

So did the whispering to the microphones.

After 3 more days passed. The researchers checked the microphones hourly to make sure they were working, since they thought it impossible that no sound could be coming with 5 people inside. The oxygen consumption in the chamber indicated that all 5 must still be alive. In fact it was the amount of oxygen 5 people would consume at a very heavy level of strenuous exercise. On the morning of the 14th day the researchers did something they said they would not do to get a reaction from the captives, they used the intercom inside the chamber, hoping to provoke any response from the captives they were afraid were either dead or vegetables.

They announced: "We are opening the chamber to test the microphones; step away from the door and lie flat on the floor or you will be shot. Compliance will earn one of you your immediate freedom."

To their surprise they heard a single phrase in a calm voice response: "We no longer want to be freed."

Debate broke out among the researchers and the military forces funding the research. Unable to provoke any more response using the intercom it was finally decided to open the chamber at midnight on the fifteenth day.

The chamber was flushed of the stimulant gas and filled with fresh air and immediately voices from the microphones began to object. 3 different voices began begging, as if pleading for the life of loved ones to turn the gas back on. The chamber was opened and soldiers sent in to retrieve the test subjects. They began to scream louder than ever, and so did the soldiers when they saw what was inside. Four of the five subjects were still alive, although no one could rightly call the state that any of them in 'life.'

The food rations past day 5 had not been so much as touched. There were chunks of meat from the dead test subject's thighs and chest stuffed into the drain in the center of the chamber, blocking the drain and allowing 4 inches of water to accumulate on the floor. Precisely how much of the water on the floor was actually blood was never determined.

The four test subjects also had significant chunks of flesh ripped from their bodies. The destruction of flesh and exposed bones on the subjects finger tips revealed that the wound were self inflicted with hands and not teeth, as thought by the researchers. 

The abdominal organs underneath the ribcage of all the 4 test subjects have been removed. But the heart, lungs, and diaphragm remained intact, the skin and muscle covering the ribcage where ripped off exposing the lungs. All arteries and internal organs remained intact, but the flesh were removed and placed on the floor, the digestive tract was seen digesting what appeared to be the subjects flesh, they had been ripping off and eating throughout the course of the day and night. The soldiers at a point refused to revisit the chamber to remove the test subjects because the test subjects put up a fierce fight while being removed from the chamber, one of the soldiers died from having his throat ripped off and another was gravely injured by having his testicles ripped off and an artery in his leg burst by the teeth of a subject, 5 soldiers seeing this committed suicide .One of the subjects had a ruptured spleen and fought till he almost bled to death, have more air than blood in his blood vessels, he bought the arm and rib of a doctor fighting to not be sedated, but he became weak and became silent.

The other 3 subjects were highly restrained and taken to the operating room.

The test subject with the ruptured spleen was forced under by anaesthetic gas the minute his eyes fluttered and closed his heart stopped beating, his muscles were badly torn and he had broken 9 bones

The second survivor enable to protest just shook his head violently when anaesthetic gas was brought to them and nodded when a Nurse suggested the surgery be done without anaesthesia, the surgery when on for 6 hours and the test subject felt no pain, the Nurse assisting the doctor claimed the subject's lips would curl in a grin anytime their eyes met. The subject with the messed up vocal cords kept wheezing and a pad and pen was given to him and he wrote keep cutting. The subjects were all operated on and the doctor replaced their abdominal organs and what remained of their skin. They were asked why they ripped off their skin, but all they said was 

"I must stay awake"

The 3 survivors where placed into a room and the Military benefactor started that the gas should be put back on, on hearing this the test subjects stopped struggling, the scientists  refused but were overruled. The test subjects where connected to an EEG monitor and had their restraints padded for longer confinement. The subjects happy to be put back in their chamber were trying different means to stay awake. One of the survivors had normal brain waves, but kept flat lining and returning to normal,as if constantly experiencing brain death, A nurse saw him put his head on the pillow and immediately his heart stopped and he was dead.
The only survivor that could talk, continued to beg for the gas and for the room to be sealed now. The military benefactor said the room should be sealed with the two remaining subjects and in addition 3 researchers, One researcher on hearing his name pulled out his gun and shot the commander in between the eyes saying "I will not be locked in here with these things " The rest of the researchers fled the scene and the Scientist shot the subject with the messed up vocal cords in the head, then he pointed the gun to the last subject and asked
"WHAT ARE YOU? "
The subject smiled and said, " Have you forgotten so easily"
"We are you, we are the chaos that exists within you all, begging to be free at every moment in your deepest animal mind. We have been that which you hide from in your beds every night, we are what you sedate into silence and paralysis when you go to the nocturnal haven we cannot tread " the researcher aimed at the beating heart of the subject and shot him, the subject flatlined while weakly choking out " So Nearly free "

God designed sleep for a reason, who knows what kind of demons or monsters they would have created if the experiment was continued with .
This is all for today,
