Winter Light / Summer Heat #295 The Stars Were Paling In The East

How do you sleep at night? Do you sleep at night? A person can stay awake longer than you think. 18 days 21 hours 40 minutes is the record. Robert McDonald stayed awake for those 453 hours in 1986 and will keep that World Record forever due to Guinness deeming it unsafe to continue to track. McDonald said this “It hasn’t been easy. I’m ready to collapse because I have had a hard time keeping any food down.” They say he sustained no long term effects of the deprivation, he even built a life-size replica Viking ship from 15 million ice-cream sticks in 2006. Tonight's show is a night show, driving psych rock and some blues psych, perfect to listen to as you round the 453 hour mark in your record breaking journey.
