Thai Jok, an 80-year-old man from Vietnam, has made headlines for claiming to have not slept since 1962. This rare case of insomnia is a subject of much interest and speculation among medical experts. Despite the widely-held belief that good sleep is crucial for health and longevity, Jok claims that he feels perfectly fine and leads a healthy life.
Jok's wife, children, friends, and neighbors have all confirmed that they have never seen him sleep. Despite this, he shows no signs of physical or mental fatigue, and still works hard, walks for hours in the morning, and enjoys eating and drinking. However, Jok admits that he would like to sleep peacefully like others, and that his lack of sleep has been a disadvantage in his life.
Jok's case has been studied by doctors, who have diagnosed him with insomnia. However, despite the generally negative effects that insomnia can have on a person's health, Jok shows no signs of suffering from it. He remains energetic and active, and does not feel overly tired, even after a long day of work.
In a recent interview, Jok stated that he cannot sleep even when he feels very tired. He claims that no matter how much work he does, he feels less tired than other people, and that drinking too much only allows him to relax on a sofa or couch for 1-2 hours, but not to sleep.
The story of Thai Jok is a unique and fascinating case, and a reminder of the complexity of the human body and its functions.
