He basicly lives in China were most of the games start at 2.45am. He was watching all the games until he went to work in 5am and didn't sleep for 11 days. After the Ireland - Italy game, he went to his home to rest, slept but never woke up because of the exhaustion. I don't know if it's supposed to be funny or sad, but let's call it tragic for now, nevertheless.

How can you not automatically fall asleep after days of no sleep?

How can you not automatically fall asleep after days of no sleep?

The longest I've managed is two days, and that was through battling like mad to stay awake and drinking tons of drinks full of caffeine. I guess this guy did the same but took it to the extreme.
