Peter Tripp was a New York DJ who once stayed awake for more than eight days (210 hrs 10 mins) in a glass booth in Times Square, as a stunt. Most of that time was spent spinning records and talking into the mic. There were nurses and doctors there to play games and give him tests when he got tired. And he did hallucinate after a few days, viz., cobwebs, mice, and kittens. He looked in drawers for money that wasn't there and insisted that a technician had dropped a hot electrode in his shoe. The last 66 hours were spent on drugs (I don't know what kind) that were administered to him by the medical personnel in the booth. When he finally slept, he did so for 13 hrs and 13 mins. Other DJs tried to beat his record, like Dave Hunter in Jacksonville, Fla. Hunter stayed awake for 225 hrs, the crazy motherfucker.
