Englishman goes sleepless for 11 days

Tony Wright, 42, a horticulturist by profession has stayed awake for 264 hours, i.e. 11 days. He has been researching about sleeping patterns for over 15 years and says that each side of the brain needs different amounts of sleep. In his opinion, with appropriate preperation, one can stay awake for long hours without any problem.

He created a new record when he stayed awake for such a long time. Hailing from a small English town Penzance, Tony hopes that with his experiment, he can shed more light on this and many other mysteries of the human mind.
