Structure of Haemoglobin: Haemoglobin is an aggregation of four globular proteins (typically two alpha and two beta subunits), each with an embedded haeme group. Each haeme group allows the binding of an oxygen molecule.
Here's another intriguing case from the Guinness World Records. In 1964, a 17-year-old high school student named Randy Gardner beat the world record for sleep deprivation by staying awake for 264 hours (11 days) without using any stimulants.
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.
