Wenatex Blog :: Healthy Sleep for a Better Life

In January 2008, you may have read in the news about the two inspirational Sydney guys who traveled by kayak for 62 days across the Tasman Sea from Australia to New Zealand.

Well, I read an interesting article about them recently. Not only did they have to endure howling winds, strong currents, lack of food, and wasting muscles on their journey, but they dealt with severe sleep deprivation as well.

I thought you might be interested in the comments that one of the guys, Justin Jones, made about the sleep deprivation he experienced on his journey.

“On the Tasman we had about three hours sleep each night, and it was low quality sleep. [In the days after the voyage] we’d go to sleep, wake up and couldn’t get back to sleep.

I struggled to process things, the memory was not as sharp… it was eight to nine months before we felt normal.”
