Holy fucking shit, I don't believe it.

I think it's just fake or something. You'd like die without sleep.

Has to be fake. Your body would die of exhaustion after a certain number of days, 33 years is stupid.

Thats fake. Sleep and drinking water are things that we cant avoid.

Woah, if thats real, thats crazy.

If I miss a night of sleep, I get really depressed and cranky, hate to think what 33 years would do :S

ahh the guy seems happy, just cause he doesnt sleep doesnt mean his body doesnt get to. Like he can lie on bed and shit so his body would recover but the mind..fuck that lol

The most I've ever gone is 2 days without sleep, and I felt like falling over and going straight to sleep.. and thats pretty much what I did when I layed down on my couch. For some reason my parents thought I was on drugs.. well they still suspect it, but that was a stupid reason. I still don't believe this guy hasn't slept, although like I said there is a bunch of crazy asians that are out of their minds like that.

How do we know hes not sleeping in that nights when he's working alone? Maybe he sleeps like 1 hour per week.. but 33 years without sleeping? No way.

yeah after awhile your body will shut you down...you sleep to let you body rest and restart functions you need to survive....thats insane and I doubt possible.

old news, it was in new scientist (I think) but yeah I reckon its true, although I think he probably has slept for about 30 mins here and there.

speaking of sleep, good night folks.

well I dont have a subscription to that particular journal, maybe you could pass a few of your copies on to me when you're done with them?

I dunno, sounds real to me. stranger things have happened. that would be pretty cool never having to sleep...you could do pretty much twice as many things in your life.

I couldnt think of anything better.

Ive always said the the guys if I could get away without sleeping (and doing any damage to me) I would.

1) you have 24 hours in a day...
2) I love night life better than day anyway
3) when your pissed - you dont need to goto bed, you can sit in your drunken state and get your moneys worth
4) there is to mant to list


I think its just me who wants to stay awake as anyone who ive talked to about this said they love sleep

I only get about 3/4 hours sleep each night. I know it's bad for my health both mental and physical, but I can only seem to be productive at night, during the day I get distracted easily. I would sleep during the day and stay up at night if I could, but I have to go to college during the day so I just end up with little sleep.

I'm down with WKH for constant all nighters :D

hate to be the geek, but if you slept during the day and only went out at night your health would still deteriorate. you'd lose vitamin E that you get from the sun, which basically would cause all kinds of skin problems.

yeah would be cool though :smile:
