Man stays awake for 11 days and nights. I think this is absolutely crazy, not to metion very dangerous to his health. But apparently he did it and will probably be knocked out for the next week lol. Here is the full story. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/cornwall/6689999.stm Would you do something crazy like this just to break a record?

I will only do it, if there´s a big reward for doing that. So much effort in something so harmless, it isn´t paid off........ I don´t think how is capable to do that either, maybe too much coffee, but even with coffee, if I haven´t sleep well, I feel sleepy very often. There´s some pills sold in the pharmacy though, I remember to have some vitamins, one of the contents was ginseng, but don´t remember the others, I take them one time, and I feel like I wanted to jump to my lamp. They were really strong, I´m not taking them anymore, of course, they make me feel so nervous. And later on, I read that ginseng is not very good for woman, mainly because of that, they are very nervous after eating it.

Sadly, I have already broken that record but nothing official. LOL If you have ever been to Basic Training...trust me, they barely let you get any sleep. You find yourself almost falling asleep while standing at attention! You would be surprised how many people have fallin out flat on their faces just because they fell asleep while standing. ha ha Sure, they say not to lock you knees because it restricts blood flow and will make you pass out. But really...you pass out from way too little sleep. LOL But that guy doing it willingly? Hecka crazy! I was so sleep deprived, I have no clue how I got through the day most of the time! and I have insomnia!!! LOL I only get an average of 4 to 5 hours of sleep a night...and there have been times that I have not slept 4 days straight! But never by choice. Willing do it? No way!!! Not me! I wanna sleep! LOL
