Trial Testimony Bombshell: Michael Jackson Went 60 Days Without Really Sleeping

Michael Jackson went two months without really sleeping – something no other human being has ever done, according to bombshell testimony at his wrongful death trial.
While Dr. Conrad Murray was administering propofol to the superstar, that drug interferes with the natural sleep process and does not allow the patient to experience REM sleep, which is crucial for well being.
Despite waking up refreshed, Jackson, according to expert testimony, really didn’t sleep and got none of the crucial benefits of sleep because of the treatment which took place 60 consecutive days.
Dr. Charles Czeisler, a nationally renowned sleep expert from Harvard Medical School, chillingly testified that Jackson would have died anyway if the propofol overdose hadn’t killed him. And his death would have been directly from lack of sleep.
Michael’s mom Katherine Jackson is the lead plaintiff in a wrongful death lawsuit against AEG Live, the promoter of what was to be Michael’s comeback concert tour.
