Activities that bring the population into areas where tsetse are present include the cultivation of crops (sorghum, sesame, sweet potatoes), fishing, collection of wood and beekeeping. The Mandoul area is a historical focus of sleeping sickness. It was included in the âsecteur de prophylaxie numÃ©ro 3â created in 1919 and was visited by the medical teams led by Gaston Muraz in 1928 [9, 10].
The average person is awake for about 14 to 16 hours per day. Most could extend that to about 20 hours if they were to stay up later; up to 40 hours is easy once a person getsâ¦ beyond the 24 hour mark; longer than 60 hours (staying awake straight through two nights and three days) is rare, but doable; the record is 264 hours or 11 days straight.
Because even I who has chronic insomnia can stay awake for 5 days but I am not without any sleep because even what I think was a blink lasted for 15 seconds. Sleep is needed and the body would do everything to get it, even if it knows something bad will happen if you go to sleep (such as in the streets)
