Cheryl Hole and Nikki Druce are diving back into the world of Creepypastas to uncover the science behind the internet's most popular spooky sleep story… The Russian Sleep Experiment. After researching a new stimulant on prisoners of war, soviet researchers find themselves in a gruesome tryst with violent and sleep mad creatures… but was it all as it seemed? And what actually happens when you deprive yourself of sleep for say, 11 days? Cheryl and Nikki are going to find out. Expect two very sleep deprived hosts, an extra helping of delirium and some seriously ooky spooky behaviour.
This episode contains graphic details of violence and murder, including mentions of suicide, as is not intended for all audiences. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
