There are a lot of weird sleep-related world records out there. From the longest line of human-mattress dominoes—2016 'dominoes' and took 14 minutes for all of them to fall—to the most people served breakfast in bed at once—418 people in 113 beds set up on the lawn of a Sheraton Hotel in China. But there's one record that remains elusive: who holds the record for longest consecutive slumber?

Tough to call

The length of time someone is actually asleep is pretty tough to measure, which is what has kept the official title out of the hands of sleepers around the world. That doesn't mean, however, that there have been no valiant attempts—though they don't really count as real sleep. In October of 2017, Wyatt Shaw from Kentucky fell asleep for 11 days. He was just seven years old and doctors ran several tests with no conclusive explanations. Wyatt did wake up with cognitive impairment, particularly when walking and talking, but made a full recovery after treatment with drugs typically used in seizure management. In 1959, UK hypnotist Peter Powers put himself under a hypnotic sleep for eight straight days. It made quite the splash in European media and radio shows, but doesn't quite count as sleeping.

Other weird records

There may not be much to go on when it comes to the longest sleep of all time, but there are all kinds of wild records for other sleep-related shenanigans. The longest record for days without sleep belongs to Randy Gardner, who stayed awake for 11 straight days when he was 17 in the name of science. In 1964, Randy volunteered to go as long as possible without sleep and let researchers study the changes in his brain activity. Previously, Peter Tripp held the first record at 201 hours and suffered from hallucinations for several days after. Between Peter and Randy, Honolulu DJ Tom Rounds made it to 260 hours. Randy tapped out at 264 hours, and slept for 14 hours straight after. By the tenth day, Randy was unable to complete simple mathematic equations and experienced hallucinations and a lot of confusion. Now with so much awareness about how harmful sleep deprivation can be, the Guinness World Records organization no longer responds to attempted records of sleep deprivation.

Honorable mentions:

Snugpak created the world's largest sleeping bag in 2014 to help raise money for charity. In May of 2008, Girlguiding UK organized the world's largest pajama party, with 1626 participants. Swedish resident Kare Walkert holds the record for loudest snore, at 93 decibels in 1993.

What is the #1 smartest animal?

1: Chimpanzee Chimpanzees can learn sign language to communicate with humans. Topping our list of smartest animals is another great ape, the chimpanzee. The impressive intellectual abilities of this animal have long fascinated humans.

animals.howstuffworks.com - Top 10 Smartest Animals | HowStuffWorks

" " A male Bonobo chimp contemplates life. Chimpanzees are some of the smartest animals around. Anup Shah/Getty Images From detecting tuberculosis in humans to outperforming us in memory tests, we aren't the only intelligent creatures on this planet. Truth be told, we're far from it. We tend to believe we're the smartest species on Earth, using traditional classroom intelligence as the benchmark to measure an animal's brainpower, but those tests just scratch the surface. For example, while we can create sonar technology to track an enemy submarine, dolphins are born with it.

All animals make their own decisions – whether it's instinctual or well thought out – just like us. We have all evolved throughout the years, continue to learn from one another and have formed friendships with each other. You're might be reading this with your own intelligent little friend (your pet) by your side. So, while some of the animals on this list have smaller brains than us, or vastly larger ones, each animal is intelligent and unique in its own way. After all, groundhogs still predict our weather, right?

Here are 10 of the smartest animals that have continued to show their remarkable intelligence time after time.
