A Woman Who Hasn't Slept in 30 Years... What’s the Story?

A Vietnamese woman named Nguyen Nhuoc My Kim (49 years old) has claimed that she last slept 30 years ago, according to the website "Oddity Central." The woman noted that her lack of sleep has not affected her life or health. She admitted that she taught herself to stay awake when she was young because she was fond of reading books late into the night. She mentioned that this habit continued into her adulthood when she began working as a seamstress, often sitting up until dawn to complete orders. She said, "I would sit every night in front of my sewing machine and did not go to sleep because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to finish the orders." At some point, Nguyen stopped feeling the need for sleep entirely, and this condition persists to this day.
