    Peter Tripp decided to stay awake for as long as possible to raise money for charity. Scientists monitored Tripp closely during his experiment, as Dr. Louis West was aware of the negative effects of prolonged sleep deprivation based on his research. After 11 days without sleep, Tripp began experiencing aggression, hallucinations, and became confused, running into the street, before ending his attempt due to the dangerous psychological effects.
