Side View of the Prostate. The prostate is a walnut-sized gland located between the bladder and the penis. The prostate is just in front of the rectum. The urethra runs through the center of the prostate, from the bladder to the penis, letting urine flow out of the body.
andy 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).
Unlike Tripp (who, incidentally, used stimulants to stay awake) there were no reports of any long term personality changes. Much to Gardner's displeasure, within a month of setting his sleep deprivation record, Toimi Soini of Finland stayed awake for 276 hours (11.5 days). And in 1977, Maureen Weston of the UK went without sleep for a massive 449 hours (18.7 days).
