—Eleven days after he set out
to become the world's champion insomniac, a science-minded 17-year-old sank into sleep
Wednesday and dreamed, perhaps;, of a wish come true.
Randy Gardner finally experienced the blessed relief of
putting his head on a pillow
at 6 a.m. — 264 hours after he
embarked on a high school

His aim was to surpass the
