Nothing is forever
The longest recorded times that human beings have gone without sleep have been:
- Randy Gardner in 1965, Randy went without sleep for 11 days (That’s 264 hours!).
- In 1980, Robert McDonald of California stayed awake for a record 18 days 21
hours and 40 minutes. (453 hours)
In both experiments, the subjects only experienced drowsiness and trouble with
concentrating. This dispelled the popular myth that sleep deprivation will make you
go crazy.
