Maybe not the same root cause, but I bet the symptoms are similar:

You’d be surprised what stimulants and human will power cna accomplish. You should look into fatal familial insomnia though.

I remember reading an old news article where a man from China stayed awake for 11 days to watch football and he died.
I don’t know how the guy in China deliberately went 11 days without any sleep at all to watch a football game.
After reading the comments, I’m also wondering how he stayed up for so long.
I speculating it could be some sort of drugs keeping him up.
China is a society that, like many Asian countries, have a very negative view of drugs due to British colonialism, so its possible that there was drug use involved and it was covered up to avoid losing “face” to the family.

I’ve been awake so long I gave myself a heart condition.

I stayed up for a little over 3 days due to a funky schedule and baseball playoffs. Finally crashed and slept for 28 hours. Room mate said I slept forever, and I thought it was just for 4 hours when I looked at my alarm clock.

I did three days once and was still lucid. Wasn’t even really tired, so I even went clubbing until 5am on the last night. I could have stayed up longer, but I had no reason to be up anymore, so I got four or five hours of sleep and was back on schedule. Some people just can’t do that kind of thing, and it seems to be easier for others. Dude from China sounds like a machine though. I’d guess be was the right combination of the kind of person who doesn’t require a lot of sleep and stubborn as hell.
