Peter Tripp's 8-Day Wakeathon Ended in Full Psychosis

In 1959, radio DJ Peter Tripp stayed awake for 201 hours in a glass booth in Times Square. By day three, he was hallucinating spiders in his shoes and convinced people were poisoning his food. He eventually fled into traffic thinking men in jackets were Secret Service agents — a textbook descent into drug-induced psychosis from sleep deprivation alone.
