"This journey began nearly two years ago when I first heard about the record," Kaya said in an email. "Back then it was 54 hours, and unfortunately earlier this year it skyrocketed to 120 hours."

Kaya said he received regular health checkups during his attempt and was allowed a total 20 hours of break time.
