For The Record Randy Gardner holds a Guinness world record for the longest period of time a human being has intentionally gone without sleep not using stimulants of any kind. In 1964, as a 17-year-old high school student in San Diego, California, Gardner stayed awake for 264 hours (11 days) with the help of friends, TV reporters, and shooting hoops. On his final day without sleep, Gardner presided over a press conference where he spoke without slurring or stumbling his words and in general appeared to be in excellent health. “I wanted to prove that bad things didn’t happen if you went without sleep,” said Gardner. “I thought, ‘I can break that (Peter Tripp’s 1959) record and I don’t think it would be a negative experience.’” Sleep experts now believe that such sleep deprivation stunts are dangerous It ain't, and he's lucky he stopped when he did. A person will die from total lack of sleep more quickly than from starvation. Death can occur after about 10 days without sleep. Starvation can last weeks. |

i have the strangest sleep cycle...i'll go for months on only one-two hours/night, and then it gradually elongates until it's seven-eight/night...and then it reverses.
i've gone probably five nights without any sleep, but it wasn't by choice. |

Because of work - I was up 22 hours, then try to sleep for 2 hours. Did this for 14 days straight- then crashed for almost 4 days.
