The Mandoul area is a historical focus of sleeping sickness.

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.
How can our body keep breathing while we are sleeping, when our brain is in sleep mode, and so are all our muscles? I woke up this morning and that question suddenly popped up in my head, and it has been bugging me all day lol. When we are asleep, our brain is disconnected, and our muscles are totally relaxed and in sleep mode too. That is how our body recovers and gets ready to get going again the following day.
