A German DJ smashed the world record for the longest continuous radio show when his 'morning' programme ended after more than a week.
Dominik Schollmayer, 26, from Hit Radio Antenne in Hanover, broadcast his show for 169 consecutive hours, beating the previous record - held by an Indian DJ - by one hour.
The rules stated he was allowed to play two consecutive records of up to six minutes, reports the Daily Telegraph.
He was allowed a five-minute break every hour but saved these up to give himself a 15-minute break every three hours.
Schollmayer was monitored by doctors around the clock throughout his record-breaking broadcast.
Sleep deprivation caused bizarre effects, according to a blog on the station's website.
One entry, entitled: "Now he's gone completely mad", reported the DJ was dancing wildly around the studio as the final hours approached.
