Remaining awake for long periods
of time isn’t unusual in college, but !
remaining awake 100 hours for sci
ence is. Two University of Georgia
students did it so one could write a
thesis for an advanced degree and
to allow Dr. A. S. Edwards, head of
the psychology department, to make
observations on the results.
Harry Gerofsky, Trenton, N. J.,
and Wendall Morris, Pensacola, Fla.,
were the students. They stayed
awake from Monday, March 23, until
Friday noon, March 27. Gerofsky
then slept for an hour and rose again
to attend a wedding in Atlanta. Mor
ris remained in bed until midnight,
Friday, rose to get something to eat,
and was back again in after after
fifteen minutes.
No I.lusting Effeeta
Tests were made during the week
to ascertain the effects. Both lost
weight and complained of headaches
and sore eyes, but neither suffered
any lasting effects. Morris, in fact,
gained strength the last day.
Conversation, cold water, cigar
ettes and coffee were used to keep
from falling asleep. They wandered
around the campus for exercise, ate
in local restaurants and attended
classes regularly and tried to keep
up with their work.
Morris is a graduate student in the
psychology department and Gerofsky
is a freshman taking the regular
freshman course. Both have recov
ered now and do not complain of
any evil effects of their ordeal.
