Q&A

Could someone stay unconscious for roughly twelve hours under a set of given conditions while in a desert environment?

+0

I'm quite afflicted with a specific set of conditions I'm trying to figure out.

I'm trying to find a way (if there is one) that someone could be unconscious for roughly twelve hours under some conditions, maybe more, maybe less, but most preferably with the least amount of blood loss possible.

I'm looking for something along the lines of dehydration, hungry, physical exhaustion, perhaps even some mental. I would like for some blood loss, but not something severe, like a liter.

All of this, added on top of some four hours of a casual paced walk, let's go with 3.1 miles an hour, the average walking speed. Then, maybe six to eight hours of combined sprinting paces, a few rests, and some more walking. Again, on top of this, the environment is desert-like.

If something like this is not possible, then if anything, perhaps someone could help me set up a set of conditions that works with this, just something around the ten to twelve hour mark of unconsciousness.

I've read that long periods of being fainted can be serious signs of fatal injury, but I'm not entirely sure. I've looked for a solid answer to my particular question, but haven't been conclusive. It is worth mentioning that I have no experience in any field of biology, study of how the body works, etc.

By that, any information pertaining to this topic I would be severely thankful for.
