The Court Jester

According to Thai Ngoc, he hasn’t slept in over thirty three years. Following a fever
back in 1973, the man simply stopped sleeping.

Can you imagine?

Doctors say that he is in good health, and at the age of 64 he still works at his farm each day (and night) as well as becoming a sort of ‘village alarm clock’. He regularly wakes other townsfolk when they have work to do in the wee hours, and he also is the most likely volunteer for night-duty watch over the homes of those neighbours who have to be away for any period of time.

Having tried various drugs, as well as alcohol, to get to sleep he’s pretty much accepted the fact that sleep is just something he doesn’t do any more.

“I don’t know whether the insomnia has impacted my health or not. But I’m still healthy and can farm normally like others.” Ngoc said. — thanhniennews.com

That’s pretty wild, just think of all the things you could get done if you never had to sleep! Is the story true? I don’t know for sure, but it seems like it…
