Sleep Deprivation
On August 7, 2008 the Washington Post reported that the Guantanamo guards defied their orders to discontinue the illegal practice of arbitrarily moving captives multiples times a day to deprive them of sleep. The report stated that Ahmed Rashidi was routinely having six hour interrogations in the middle of the night, followed by a series of cell relocations. Guards called this practice the "frequent flyer program".

Famous quotes containing the words sleep and/or deprivation:
“Six, or at most seven, hours’ sleep is, for a constancy, as much as you or anybody can want: more is only laziness and dozing, and is, I am persuaded, both unwholesome and stupefying.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“All beauty, resonance, integrity,
Exist by deprivation or logic
Of strange position.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
