Randy Gardner hold the world record for not sleeping for 264 hours
Randy Gardner still holds the world record for 264 hours of sleeplessness as a 17 year old kid back in 1964.
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

I never sleep. I haven’t slept since 1994. I just don’t need it and see no point in sleeping 1/2 your life away. There ain’t nothing to it. Just work two full jobs and have fun.

I have gone 4/5 days without sleep this, and last year, a few times. When I do sleep, its only 4/5 hours a night, max.
Last month, I did go with 8 days until I started shaking, got severely cold, and slept
. That was.. hard. Don’t think I could do anymore than 8 days. But hey, you never know.
Im nearly 19 now by the way.

At first, you will feel like you can stay up forever. But when that 23rd hour comes, you will just fall asleep. When you wake up, you won’t even remember falling asleep.

I’m currently on my 54th hour without sleep. I’m trying to go for three days without sleep. But it’s actually for a school project so there is some incentive to do this. It’s really hard though, as i’m starting to hear and see things that I know are not there. I feel that going going beyond 3 days would be a hellish nightmare, and kudos to all of you that have gone past.

Are you guys serious? 3 or 7 days without sleep, and you feel ‘normal’? Or is there some BSing involved? I’m just skeptical, no disrespect… And no, I do not plan to use that other half of my life time.
My dreams when I get them are much better than what I see. The world seems bigger, more peaceful. Waking up too long wasn’t an interest until tonight. I’ll go no longer than 48 hours sleep. I’ve got stuff to download.
At least one of you is crazy, working all his waking hours, what are you using all that money for.
In the days before written history men and women slept at night because they couldn’t see the predators outside. Nowadays it’s an inconvenience when people need to work 2 or 3 jobs to survive.
‘Sleep is for suckers’
Thousands, perhaps millions, of years of evolution is tested by today’s demands.
Humanity is meant to sleep, unless you have really bad dreams and don’t want to sleep…
Rant over.
