Now if you were sailing across an ocean, one thing that might not cross your mind is sleeping.

I mean the thought itself is terrifying enough to keep you up all the many nights it would take to cross the vast body of water.

But Luke, a former school music teacher, has taken people on a brave and daunting journey and is documenting his travel in a sail boat across the Pacific Ocean.

He is probably out there right now recording content for his TikTok page, where he goes by the username ‘sailing_songbird’.

Interestingly enough, Luke highlighted just how difficult it is to actually get some rest while sailing – particularly on a ‘rough’ night.

Showing where he sleeps, he showed just how much tossing and turning occurs – and it’s even more than you are thinking.

Speaking to the camera he said: “People want to know what its like sleeping on a small sailboat in the middle of the pacific.

“It’s night 18, sailing across the Pacific alone and when there’s high seas this is what it’s like to sleep.”

The sailor then showed he is pretty much tossed from one side to the other back and forth, hitting the wall of his cabin and the side of his bed constantly.

I imagine it’s a similar sensation to what your head feels like on a major hangover.

He even offered some handy tips on reducing the sway – in case you were planning a trip across the Pacific Ocean.

Luke explained that ‘wedging’ yourself before you got to sleep is pretty important and can help reduce you from ‘flying around everywhere’.

He said that he wasn’t even exaggerating how much he is swung from side to side and told his followers to be thankful for a flat bed.

“I would pay a pretty penny for a flat bed right now, goodbye, wish me luck,” he closed the video.

And social media users in the comment admitted they would find this particularly stressful – never mind the added stress of trekking across an ocean.

“I would be so sick and my anxiety of sinking while asleep would torture me,” one user wrote.

“The constant thought of the boat being so close to tipping over legit every time it turns to the side makes me not wanna do this,” another commented.

While a third said it made them ‘nervous’, adding: “So do you just trust that you aren’t going to get taken by a huge rogue wave? How does this work?”

Others simply suggested a hammock might mitigate all the swaying, though trying to use a hammock in a huge storm doesn’t sound like a good time either.

Some bloke has decided to trade his life as a school music teacher in order to sail the Pacific Ocean on his own. Yep, he’s out there on his own in a 27-foot sailboat, just living the life at sea, really.

But as he posts daily content for his followers, he’s ended up unlocking people’s biggest fear after showing just where he is on Google Maps.

Luke, who goes as ‘sailing songbird’ on TikTok, recently surpassed a full month out in the Pacific and shared that he was spending day 31 paddle-boarding for some ‘exercise’.

“I’m stuck here in the doldrums,” he explained in the viral clip, “there is no wind.”

The man then shared a screen recording of his location on Maps, where he was ‘about as far away from land as you can be on this planet’.

And Luke really does seem to be in the middle of nowhere in the Ocean, with Mexico appearing to be one of the closest spots a way away.

As he described it as ‘disorienting’ to paddle-board with ‘absolutely nothing on the horizon’ at ‘over 1,000 miles away from any piece of land’, viewers were losing their minds.

Users were quick to comment: “My thalassophobia could neverrrr.” As another even wrote: “That’s crazy because if you look closely you can see the HELL and the NAH.”

Thalassophobia is quite literally the fear of the ocean or other large bodies of water.

And it seems plenty of the TikTok viewers agree: “Nothing is creepier than an open body of water. I can’t.”

Another went on to say: “I think rule number 1 of crossing the ocean alone is ‘don’t leave the boat’.”

As others echoed: “Dude you’re giving me the fear… get back on the boat.”

One even joked: “This man is begging to give his life to Poseidon.”

And a user simply questioned as Luke chilled on his paddle-board in the open ocean: “Are there people out there with zero fear of anxiety?!? Is that a thing?

“Is it supposed to be that way? I need a study.”

However, while many were absolutely freaking out over the guy sailing the ocean alone so casually, others were amazed by his phone signal.

“Man’s uploading from the Pacific Ocean, and I’m losing network in my bathroom,” one wrote.

As another joked: “Damn the pacific got Wi-Fi?” Turns out, Luke has a dish on his boat so he can pick up the phone signal.

Either way, he’s still just out there alone in the Ocean. No thanks.

True peace and quiet is hard to come by these days as most of us are never far from the buzz of conversation or the buzz of a mobile phone notification.

Now most of us would probably jump at the opportunity to spend time in the world’s quietest room and experience true silence.

But be careful what you wish for, as it turns out spending an extended period of time being able to hear yourself think is quite terrifying.

Just ask anyone who has spent time at the anechoic chamber at Orfield Laboratories in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Currently holding the Guinness World Record for the world’s quietest room, the chamber is said to absorb around 99.9 percent of sound.

To give you an idea of just how quiet the chamber is, the average room measures around 30 decibels at night, while the room at Orfield Laboratories comes in at an astonishing -20 decibels.

Now you may think that spending time in perfect silence could be a refreshing change from the chaos of daily life, the complete absence of sound said to be completely unnerving to visitors.

It is officially the quietest room in the world – meaning visitors can hear every grind, crunch and squeak their skeletons make.

Most people can’t stand to stay in there for more than a few minutes, as the silence is well and truly deafening.

It’s so quiet, that those inside essentially ‘become the sound’ – hearing their hearts beat and blood flowing through their bodies.

The chamber is a six-sided steel double-walled box, encased in 12-inch thick concrete and even more layers of steel.

It’s supported by vibration absorbing springs to stop even the slightest sound infiltrating the eerily silent room.

Large chunks of fibreglass are also wedged along the wall to help reduce the amount of echo.

The room, designed by Steven Orfield, is primarily used to conduct experiments and measuring the noise of products.

But it has become an unlikely tourist attraction in recent years among daredevils who want to listen in on the inner working of their body.

Even if you think you’re hard enough, it doesn’t take long for visitors to be humbled by the power of peace and quiet.

Orfield explained: “We challenge people to sit in the chamber in the dark. When it’s quiet, ears will adapt. The quieter the room, the more things you hear.

“You’ll hear your heart beating, sometimes you can hear your lungs, hear your stomach gurgling loudly.

“In the anechoic chamber, you become the sound.”

If the mind-boggling silence doesn’t get you first, the disorientation will certainly knock you down a peg or two.

People often loose their balance in the room as they are unable to steady themselves due to the lack of sound, Orfield said.

If you plan on spending around 30 minutes in there, you have to be sat in a chair.

Orfield himself admitted he can only last 45 minutes inside his creation – which is a mean feat considering he has a mechanical heart valve thumping away.

But it seems silence is in high demand, as he revealed the laboratory is still inundated with requests from ‘thousands’ of people from across the globe.

“There is no sceptical reaction, as this is simply a bodily experience, and there’s nothing to learn or believe,” he said.

A YouTuber managed to spend a whopping one hour and 26 minutes inside the chamber – but said he began hallucinating.

Complete and utter silence is surely enough to send anyone around the bend.

But if you’re still curious and somehow want to check it out for yourself, you can book a trip to the chamber.

It’s not cheap though – a visit to the room will set you back $600 (£527) per hour, per person. It’s also highly unlikely that you’d need more than a couple of minutes in there.

Ever wanted to live forever? Well, according to one unnerving scientific theory, we’re all immortal – and the reason why is confusing to say the least.

Some scientists reckon that by 2030 we’ll have reached ‘longevity escape velocity’ and we’ll be able to choose to live forever.

But according to the theory of quantum immortality, everyone who ever lived is immortal, and it might hurt your head a little trying to make sense of it all.

The theory basically means that people never die, but as expected, it’s not as simple as it sounds.

Quantum immortality entails that a person’s consciousness never really dies, but it means that we might have lived through countless multiple apocalypses and extinction events.

It’s enough to fuel your existential dread for months, so – with that in mind – let’s learn a bit more about it, shall we?

The theory has been explained by many people, but we’re going to focus on social media user @joli.artist, as she discussed the idea of quantum immortality, as well as American physicist Hugh Everett’s ‘many worlds’ theory.

He suggested that there are countless other worlds and other realities, and when we die we simply transfer to another one of those.

His biographer Eugene Shikhovtsev wrote: “Everett firmly believed that his many-worlds theory guaranteed him immortality: his consciousness, he argued, is bound at each branching to follow whatever path does not lead to death.”

In her TikTok video, Joli suggested that there’s a chance we ‘never really die’ and could have experienced the world ending on numerous occasions before.

“Whenever you die in one universe, your consciousness just gets transferred into another universe where you survive,” she said.

In a nutshell, that is the idea here.

Of course, it’s a lot more complicated than that, involving a lot of maths and science, but we’re working on a word count here, and honestly it’s really quite difficult and boring in truth.

Joli explained how – if there’s anything to this theory – we wouldn’t remember the previous world that we switched over to but might have some basic recollections – much like the Mandela Effect.

“So after the inevitable apocalypse occurs, you’re going to wake up the next day in a new reality, and the next thing you know, you’re going to find yourself on Reddit talking about ‘since when did Pizza Hut have two Ts?” she explained.

“Arguing with people who are native of this new reality, talking about ‘it’s always had two Ts?'”

Joli added: “You don’t believe me? Okay, it’s been about 65 million years since the asteroids allegedly took out the dinosaurs.

“So you mean to tell me that in the last 65 million years, no other asteroids have come through the neighbourhood and taken us out?

“What I’m saying is that Earth is probably always being taken out, and our consciousness just keeps transferred to another parallel universe – and then another one, and another one.

“For all you know the apocalypse probably already happened last night…”

Anyway, the very idea of this has some people’s heads in a spin.

“BYE NOT TODAY,” said one comment.

“OK, I’m actually kind of freaking out right now coz I’m not the conspiracy typa guy, but you’re like eerily making sense,” said another.

“The thought of never being able to actually die is extremely depressing, and it’s giving me a headache,” a third added.

Yep, you can just rock me to sleep tonight.
