To escape the hustle and bustle of today's life and the digital noise, people often take breaks and go on vacations, but a 49-year-old man from Utah, USA, has done something that is hard to imagine. You will be surprised to know that this man named Skip Boyce has confined himself to a room for 365 days. Let's find out why this man took this strange decision?

According to a report by Oddity Central, Skip Boyce says that this is not torture or punishment, but a way to transform himself. Some of the main objectives of his "Isolation Year" are to break his bad habit of drinking soft drinks, regain lost focus and discipline in his life, and concentrate on exercise and proper diet for better health.

24-Hour Live Broadcast from the Room

The man has locked himself in a room for a year, but he will still be under the world's gaze 24/7. In fact, every activity inside the room is being live-streamed on YouTube. Skip Boyce says this will also show people that he is not lying.

No Contact with the Outside World

He told his viewers that before locking himself in the room, he told his wife and daughter that they would meet again after a year. Skip's room has a bathroom, gym equipment, books, and facilities for reading and writing. He said, "I sleep, exercise, and read in this room. No entertainment from the outside world."

Results Visible in 3 Weeks

Skip claims that almost three weeks have passed since the start of this isolation, and he is already seeing positive results. His mental health has improved, and he feels much more active.
