The story you mentioned was actually in my college Psychology textbook. Yep, he went wacky; hallucinations, paranoia, and the whole bit. He appeared to develop some kind of psychosis, at least symptom-wise. It's so weird I still remember the story, but I was fascinated by it. He went into REM stage sleep while awake with his eyes open.When I was a teenager, a DJ at one of the local radio stations did some kind of promotion where he tried to stay awake for an entire week.
As I recall, he started getting kind of whacky as he approached 100 hours, and shortly after reaching that point they had to call it off. Nobody was surprised.
