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.

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.

The ultimate in multi-layered tattooing is represented by the chainsaw juggling, unicycling, sword-swallowing Lucky Diamond Rich (Australia, born New Zealand), who has spent over 1,000 hours having his body modified by hundreds of tattoo artists. He began by having a full collection of colourful designs from around the world tattooed over his entire body. But not content with stopping there, Lucky next opted for a 100% covering of black ink, including eyelids, the delicate skin between the toes, down into the ears, and even his gums. He is now being tattooed with white designs on top of the black, and coloured designs on top of the white!
