Tony Wright (sleep Deprivation)
Tony Wright is an author and consciousness researcher from Penzance, Cornwall, UK. He claims to hold the world record for sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation record Wright claimed the world sleep deprivation record in May 2007 with 266 continuous hours of sleeplessness. He based his record-breaking attempt on the belief that Randy Gardner was officially recognized by the '' Guinness Book of Records'' as holding the deprivation record of 264 hours. However, the Guinness record was actually for 11½ days, or 276 hours, and was set by Toimi Soini in Hamina, Finland from February 5 to the 15th, 1964, and Wright did not in fact break the Guinness record.

Regardless, Wright's record claim was not credited by the ''Guinness Book of Records'', since after 1990 it no longer accepted records related to sleep deprivation due to the possible health risks.
