Sleepless in Que Trung
Vietnam man goes three decades without sleep--not once in the past 33 years.
His inability to sleep has not only made him famous, but also represents a
“miraculous” phenomenon worthy of scientific study.
Proving his health, the elderly resident of Que Trung commune, Que Son
district said he can carry two 50kg bags of fertilizer down 4km of road to
return home every day.
His wife said, “My husband used to sleep well, but these days, even
liquor cannot put him down.”
“I have tried sleeping pills and Vietnamese
traditional medicine but nothing helps, even to sleep for a few minutes,” he
said.
Ngoc often does extra farm work or guards his farm at night to prevent
theft, saying he used three months of sleepless nights to dig two large ponds to
raise fish.
