An 80-year-old man from Vietnam apparently 'hasn't slept' for more than 60 years, but says doctors have absolutely no clue why. Can you imagine being awake for 60 years? I can barely even make it 60 minutes without half drifting off. The curious case began in Vietnam, in the middle of the war which raged from 1955 to 1975. At first, Thai Ngoc was able to sleep as the brutal war went on. But one day in 1962, he simply stopped sleeping.Ngoc opened up about his unusual situation in an interview with YouTuber Drew Binsky, who tracked him down in Vietnam to learn about his condition and exactly how he passes all those hours when he isn't sleeping.
