Does anyone have information about Paul Kern, the soldier from WWI who was hit in the head and from that day on could never sleep?

Picture...somewhat related.

but sleeping is vital for survival =/, its a necessary break your brain takes to repair your body. And I heard the complete lack of sleep will kill you. The record before death is somewhere between 10 and 11 days.

Maybe this guy could somewhat sleep without completely snapping.

How did he not kill himself after 45 years of not sleeping?!

lack of sleep will never kill anyone. anything resulting from lack of sleep may prove hazardous, that's all

Correction.
The Dimes is a band from Portland, Oregon.
They are the ones who got me interested in Paul Kern.

Can someone please explain how this is possible? More details would be nice, especially whether or not this person actually stayed up 24 hours a day for his entire life.

Also, in the Bare Naked Ladies song "Who Needs Sleep?" there's a line that goes "be happy with what you're getting; there's a guy that's been awake since the second world war!"

I think they may have been talking about him, unless there's another guy with the same condition, only his accident occured in WWII.

This is bullshit. Rats die without sleep after eleven days. Look up fatal familial insomnia. It's a FATAL GENETIC DISEASE because it prevents you from sleeping.
