if people can’t go 3 days without sleep, how can Navy SEAL trainees do an entire Hell Week of strenuous physical activity with only 4 hours of sleep?
In: Biology
The average SEAL candidate is already in excellent physical and mental shape by the time they reach Hell Week, so while they are pushed to extreme limits during that time, they’re already used to handling the stress and fatigue.
The average civilian would probably be fine staying awake for 3+ days, but considering their average fitness level and that most civilian work doesn’t produce as much adrenaline and a more focused sense of mission and teamwork, that person may suffer a bit more.
