Like it says on the tin! I always practice holding my breath because why not? Let's see how we stack up!

Pop over to https://www.online-stopwatch.com and count!

I just managed 2:44:838, my highest time yet, and felt like my eyeballs were about to pop out, so that's fun! Eat that, body!

If you are simply holding your breath and not using a bag or something you will pass out and your body will start breathing in your new unconscious state. There's complications that come from asphyxiation, but death is very unlikely from this. Divers are known for being able to hold their breath for extended periods if you are going to be serious about holding your breath I suggest looking into safety guidelines for safely increasing the length of time you can hold your breath.

You should try a limburger cheese and onion on rye sandwich. I'm not talking diced onions either but a nice big fat Doobie style onion slab.

I did just over 7 minutes once. That’s hypoventilating for 10 minutes with 20-30 second inhalations and exhalations then hyperventilating for a minute with short breaths before hand.
