At 6.00 am on May 14 2007 Tony Wright will begin his quest to break the 43 year old world sleep deprivation record. The event will take place at The Studio Bar, a new live music venue in Penzance Cornwall. The current record of 264 hours (11 days) was set by 17 year old Randy Gardner in 1964 as part of a student science project in San Diego.
Very interesting. My personal record is 75 hours and at the end of it I hallucinated the Marx Brothers. Tony has also written a book on the evolution of the human brain. His website is here.
Good luck to you, Tony. Via the Anomalist.
