    The Russian sleep experiment is an urban legend about a disturbing Soviet experiment in the 1940s. It involved keeping 5 political prisoners awake for 15 days using an experimental gas called Nikolayev gas. During the first 5 days, the prisoners discussed increasingly dark events from their lives. After day 5, all conversations stopped. On day 9, one prisoner began screaming uncontrollably until his vocal cords tore. When researchers opened the chamber on day 15, they found one prisoner dead, the drain clogged with flesh, and the survivors had severe self-inflicted wounds, having torn out their own organs. The survivors begged the researchers not to let them fall asleep.

    Throughout history, people have been fascinated
    by tails of ghosts, the macabre, and death. One
    notable form is the urban legend which
    epitomizes the ultimate in riveting accounts. It
    goes one step further than the average ghost
    story, by claiming to be true. The Russian sleep
    experiment is a disturbing example.

    Supposedly, in the late 1940s, Soviet researches


    attempted to keep five subjects awake for fifteen
    days using the experimental Nikolayev gas. The
    subjects were political prisoners who were
    falsely promised freedom after the experiment
    was finished. During the first five days,
    everything went smoothly. The prisoners began
    to discuss increasingly traumatic events in their
    lives, but the conversations progressively took a
    darker turn.

    THE RUSSIAN SLEEP


    EXPERIMENT

    We are you. Were 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. Were what you
    sedate into silence and
    paralysis when you go to the
    However, after the fifth day, all
    conversations stopped. The subjects
    developed an extreme paranoia and began
    whispering into the microphones about
    their fellow captives.
    On the ninth day, things took a strange
    turn. One of the prisoners began running
    around screaming until he tore his vocal
    chords. The others calmly pasted papers
    covering the portholes completely, and the
    screaming stopped. All sounds stopped.
    Finally, on the fifteenth day, the researchers
    decided to open the chamber. They first
    emptied the chamber of the Nikolayev gas and
    filled it with fresh air. Instantly, voices began
    screaming and begging to have the gas turned
    back on. Soldiers were sent in to retrieve the
    subjects.

    What they found was truly disturbing.


    None of the food was eaten, one of the
    subjects was dead, and the drain in the
    floor was clogged with the deceaseds
    flesh, resulting in four inches of blood and
    water in the chamber. Reportedly, the
    survivors had suffered massive selfinflicted wounds on their fingers and
    abdomens, a result of tearing out many of
    their organs.
    Subjects desperately pleaded with the
    researchers to turn the gas back on, afraid
    they would fall asleep. The three survivors
    were heavily sedated and given medical
    treatment. The researchers did not know
    what to do with them. Under much
    protest, they put the subjects back in the
    chamber with heavy restraints. One by
    one, the subjects brainwaves flat lined
    when they fell asleep, until only the last
    remained. One of the officers pointed his
    gun at the last subject who smiled. The
    subject simply said, We are you. Were
    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. Were what you sedate into
    silence and paralysis when you go to the
    nocturnal haven where we cannot tread
    (russiansleepexperiment.com). With that,
    the soldier shot him, and he finally died.
