There were a couple of exceptions. After I fell asleep and crashed on my bike on day 11 I took an additional sleep break during the day for 2hrs I think it was. The day before I'd also taken a nap just after sunset because I was so sleepy. Basically the sleep deprivation by this point was really starting to cause problems and it was becoming increasingly unsafe. The hallucination/mental problems associated with sleep deprivation began after the 4th night when we got to Eastern Colorado, and pretty much continued and were a regular occurrence from that point on. Hope that info helps! Joan Hi Tom,

I was just wondering if you could tell me how often, and for how long you slept for each day? (or if you didn't sleep every day a sleep schedule perhaps?). Your story is incredible and highly commendable. Congratulations on having the sheer guts to even attempt this! Hi,
