Skipping one night of sleep will result in irritability the whole day. Now, imagine going without sleep for 62 years. That is exactly what a Vietnamese farmer, Thai Ngoc, claims.
81-year-old Ngoc claims to have never slept a wink since he was afflicted with a high fever in 1962. He does not nap or sleep deeply; he is just awake all the time.
This has left many doctors astounded, because by the dictates of science, a human cannot survive without sleep for more than a few days.
Yet Ngoc is not just alive, but he continues to work on his farm, doing heavy labor and managing daily chores. His extraordinary story has gone viral on social media, leaving millions in awe.

Born in 1942 in a small village in the Quang Nam province of Vietnam, Ngoc fell ill with a high fever at age 20 during the Vietnam War. The fever eventually broke, but his sleep never returned.
Ngoc recalls, “I took medicines, tried home remedies, and even drank alcohol to sleep, but nothing worked." His claim is corroborated by his wife, children, friends, and neighbors.
No one has ever seen him sleep. A Night With Drew Binsky In 2023, YouTuber Drew Binsky traveled from Arizona to Vietnam to meet Ngoc.
He stayed overnight with him, but Ngoc did not sleep at all, tending the fields at times or preparing rice wine. Despite many medical tests, doctors also did not find any major illnesses. His blood pressure, heart, and brain function are normal.
