As of 2006, Thai Ngoc, born 1942, was reported to have stayed awake for 33 years or 11,700 nights, according to Vietnamese news organization Thanh Nien. At the time of the report, Ngoc suffered from no apparent ill effect (other than the fact that he cannot sleep). He was mentally sound and was able to carry 100kg of pig feed down a 4km road. It was said that Ngoc acquired the ability to go without sleep after a bout of fever in 1973.
The Guinness record was held by a young man who stayed awake for 11 days as part of a science experiment. He was awake, but his cognitive functions were impaired after only two days.
Guinness no longer has a sleep-deprivation category because of the health dangers associated with it.
