Een studiegenoot van mij heeft een vreemde aandoening waardoor hij al 3 jaar niet echt geslapen heeft. Ik geloof dat hij momenteel een paar uur per week slaap krijgt. Voor de rest gaat hij om bedtijd altijd rustig op een stoel op 'stand by' zitten te wezen. Weet niet hoe de aandoening heet, maar die blijkt dus wel te bestaan.

Slaapdeprivatie van meer dan 48 uur is schadelijk voor het lichaam, daar is al menig onderzoek aan gewijdt, vooral een tekort aan REM-slaap schijnt slecht te zijn voor je fysieke gestel.

Peter Tripp (born June 11, 1926, in Port Chester, N.Y., died January 31, 2000 in Northridge, California) was a Top-40 countdown radio personality from the mid 1950s, whose career peaked with his 1959 record breaking 201 hour wakeathon (working on the radio non-stop without sleep to benefit the March of Dimes). For much of the stunt, he sat in a glass booth in Times Square. After a few days he began to hallucinate, and for the last 66 hours the observing scientists and doctors gave him drugs to help him stay awake. He was broadcasting for WMGM in New York City at the time.

His career soon suffered a massive downturn when he was involved in the payola scandal of 1960. Like several other disc jockeys (including Alan Freed) he had been playing particular records in return for gifts from record companies. Indicted only weeks after his stunt, it emerged that he had accepted $36,050 in bribes. Despite his claim that he "never took a dime from anyone", he was found guilty on a charge of commercial bribery, receiving a $500 fine and a six-month suspended sentence. Even his wakeathon record did not endure for long. Other DJs had quickly attempted to beat it (such publicity stunts being common in radio broadcasting at the time) and Dave Hunter, in Jacksonville, Florida soon claimed success (225 hours). Six years after Tripp's record, it was smashed by high school student Randy Gardner, who lasted 11 days.

quote:

Randy Gardner holds a Guinness world record for the longest period of time a human being has intentionally gone without sleep not using stimulants of any kind. In 1964, as a 17-year-old high school student in San Diego, California, Gardner stayed awake for 264 hours (11 days) with the help of friends, TV reporters, and shooting hoops. On his final day without sleep, Gardner presided over a press conference where he spoke without slurring or stumbling his words and in general appeared to be in excellent health. "I wanted to prove that bad things didn't happen if you went without sleep," said Gardner. "I thought, 'I can break that (Peter Tripp's 1959) record and I don't think it would be a negative experience.'"

Chronic sleep loss can reduce the capacity of even young adults to perform basic metabolic functions, such as processing and storing carbohydrates or regulating hormone secretion, report researchers from the University’s medical center in a recent issue of The Lancet.

Cutting back from the standard eight down to four hours of sleep each night produced striking changes in glucose tolerance and endocrine function––changes that resembled the effects of advanced age or the early stages of diabetes––after less than one week.

Although many studies have examined the short-term effects of acute, total sleep deprivation on the brain, this is the first to investigate the impact of chronic, partial sleep loss on the body by evaluating the metabolism and hormone secretion of subjects who were subjected to sleep restriction and after-sleep recovery.

“We found that the metabolic and endocrine changes resulting from a significant sleep debt mimic many of the hallmarks of aging,” said Eve Van Cauter, Research Professor in Medicine and director of the study. “We suspect that chronic sleep loss may not only hasten the onset but could also increase the severity of age-related ailments such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity and memory loss.”
[..]
Sleep deprivation also altered the production and action of other hormones, dampening the secretion of thyroid-stimulating hormone and increasing blood levels of cortisol, especially during the afternoon and evening. Elevated evening cortisol levels are typical of much older subjects and are thought to be related to age-related health problems such as insulin resistance and memory impairment.

All of these abnormalities quickly returned to baseline by the end of the recovery period, when subjects spent 12 hours in bed. In fact, as the subjects spent more than eight hours a night in bed, their laboratory values moved beyond the “normal” or baseline standards, suggesting that even eight hours of sleep do not produce a fully rested state. Young adults may function best after more than eight hours of rest each night.

“While the primary function of sleep may very well be cerebral restoration,” the authors noted, “our findings indicate that sleep loss also has consequences for peripheral function that, if maintained chronically, could have long-term, adverse health effects.”

Funding for this study was supplied by the Research Network on Mind-Body Interactions of the MacArthur Foundation (Chicago), the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research and the National Institutes of Health.

paracetamol of plavix (vervangend voor mensen die allergisch zijn voor parecetamol) , is voor de bloedverdunning , hartaanval of beroerte wordt vaak veroorzaakt door een stolling ,dus raar is het niet als ze het voorschrijven
