well not quite decades without sleep, as no sleep at all will send you mad and then you die. Most people like him, there has been a few studies. show they cat nap for liek 5 minitues at a time. Giving the impression they never sleep. Still quite amazing.

I bet he does sleep but doesn't realise it. Loads of little powernaps of a couple of minutes.

But he says he cant even sleep for minutes ..... and i read in another article that he has a even more rare case then people who do not sleep but he is able to cope with it and does not require any sleep

In that case he would be a miracle... As all mamals die without sleep. I dont now much about this case, but I now other cases, when they where studied found taht theyt did sleep just for a few miminutes at a time.

coo imagine what you could do with the extra 8 or so hours in your day?

Perhaps that should be a title of another thread: What stuff would you get upto if you didn't have to sleep?

above glasses dont have two way translucent lenses but instead have a print of a pair of eyes on the front. the wearer can thus catch 40 winks (preferably in a non horizontal position) and noones any the wiser!

His wife said, “My husband used to sleep well, but these days, even liquor cannot put him down.”

She said when Ngoc went to Da Nang for a medical examination, doctors gave him a clean bill of health, except a minor decline in liver function

Cos of all the liquor he can drink

Remember watching some program about a man with a disease where the part of the brain which allows sleep had rotted away. He went without sleep for 6 months before dying.

was that the one, where he was in a car accedient and that part of brain got damaged?

Sounds impossible to me, i read somewhere that if you go for a certain amount of time without rem sleep (the part where you dream i think) you begin to hallucinate and lose all sense of reality..

Still... if only he WoW.

Phog · 21 Feb 2006 at 17:43

It was a nice little story regardless.

mmj_uk · 21 Feb 2006 at 18:07

He must micro-sleep surely?
