——Preface·]—
In 2008, Henan News reported a strange story, a peasant woman named Li Zhanying said that she had not slept for 40 years.
Scientists have demonstrated that if a person does not sleep for a long time, there will be severe organ failure in about 10 days, and even death, and normal people will not sleep for more than three days, there will be a chance of sudden death.
But this peasant woman claimed that she had not slept for 40 years, and her physical condition was no different from that of a normal person, and she was even more energetic than an ordinary person.
As soon as this news was reported, the majority of netizens also expressed doubtsHow can a normal person not sleep for 40 years, this is a lie! Some people say that she is possessed by a demon.
So what exactly are the facts? Has Li Zhanying really not slept in 40 years? Or is there something else behind it?
- Fruitless inspection
In 2008, as soon as the news about Li Zhanying came out, it attracted the attention of **, and the reporter also came to Li Zhanying's home to see if she really hadn't slept for 40 years as the news said.
As soon as the reporter saw Li Zhanying, he just thought that she looked very approachable, it stands to reason that she has not slept for 40 years, and she should have dark circles like a giant panda.
But in addition to wrinkles and vicissitudes on her face, there are no very serious dark circles under her eyesHer eyes also look bright, no matter how she looks, she doesn't look like she hasn't slept well, let alone hasn't slept for 40 years, and the reporters who saw her in person felt that this was simply a fantasy.
In the evening, Li Zhanying, who had been busy all day, could finally rest, although she had done a day's farm work, she didn't seem to be tired, but was full of energy, and people who didn't know thought she had rested at home all day.
After dinner, Li Zhanying came to the neighbor's house to play cards with great interest, and it was ten o'clock in the evening, but the neighbors who had done a day's work said that they were tired and had to rest, but Li Zhanying looked unsatisfied, and she reluctantly went home.
After Li Zhanying returned home, she didn't want to rest, but watched TV again, and she saw twelve o'clock this time, but the reporter's eyes were still bright when she looked at herThere was no drowsiness at all, the reporter had to feel very admired for her.
When the reporter couldn't stand it anymore, she looked up at her watch, it was already two o'clock in the morning, but what she didn't expect was that Li Zhanying was just lying on the bed, still with her eyes open, and she didn't want to sleep at all, and she didn't look tired.
It was just over five o'clock in the morning, and Li Zhanying went to the field to do farm work early, and the reporter asked her: "I haven't slept all night, how can I still have the energy to work", but she said:"I'm used to it, I can't sleep when I lie there, so it's better to go to the field and do more work."
As soon as Li Zhanying's words came out, the reporter was even more stunned, in order to see if she really went to the field to do farm work, the reporter followed her all the way to the place where she worked, she looked at Li Zhanying working hard, it was really hard to imagine that this was like staying up all night without sleeping.
Now the reporter is a little suspicious that Li Zhanying may be true that he has not slept for 40 years, but this makes the reporter even more curiousWhy can Li Zhanying stay awake all night without sleeping? Is it talented, different from ordinary people? Or is there something wrong with the body?
With questions, the reporter came to Li Zhanying's home again and suggested that she go to the hospital for a check-up, she was also very curious about the reason why she didn't sleep, not only them, but also Li Zhanying's family and neighbors were also very curious about it.
In order to find the reason why Li Zhanying didn't sleep, they first came to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University for a series of all-round examinations, but the results of the examination all showed that Li Zhanying's body was very healthy and there was nothing abnormal.
Since there is nothing wrong physically, could it be that there is something wrong mentally?
With questions, they went to the psychiatric department to see a psychiatrist, but after some questioning by the doctor, the doctor said that Li Zhanying did not have any mental illness.
This can make them difficult all of a sudden, whether it is physical or psychological, there is no diseaseSo what is the reason for this? Or is Li Zhanying lying, but in fact, he hasn't slept for 40 years?
——I was found by my husband working in the middle of the night.]
According to Li Zhanying's husband's account, when he first got married, he found that his wife often didn't sleep in the middle of the night, but he didn't think much about it, just thought that she was not comfortable with a sudden change of place and had a little insomnia.
But after a long time, he woke up in the middle of the night and always didn't see his wife's figure, which made him feel a little wrong"I can't sleep, so I want to get up and do some work, and it's very uncomfortable to lie in bed all the time and can't sleep."
Li Zhanying's husband saw that his wife couldn't sleep all night long, and he didn't feel good in his heart, so he went to the hospital and asked the doctor to prescribe a lot of drugs to calm his nerves and help him sleep, thinking that now his wife could finally sleep well.
But what he didn't expect was that the drugs prescribed by the doctor to calm the nerves and help him sleep did not work at all for his wife, I don't know if it was a psychological effect, she felt that his wife was in better spirits after taking these medicines.
This made the husband worried, he took these medicines to the doctor, said that these medicines are useless at all, not only do not help sleep, but after eating feel more energetic, but the doctor is shocked: "Impossible, generally insomnia people will get a lot better after taking medicine."
Then the doctor asked him if he wanted to take some sleeping pills back and try it, he thought to himself that it was understandable that his wife couldn't sleep for a day or two, but he didn't sleep every day, and his body was sick even if he wasn't sick, and he couldn't think of any better way for a while, so he could only be a dead horse doctor and give it a try.
But the effect is not very satisfying, lookingThe wife is as if she is immune to medicine, he was also very anxious, for fear that his wife would suddenly not be able to bear it one day, so he urged Li Zhanying to go to the hospital every day to check his body, wanting to see what the problem was, otherwise how could a normal person stand not sleeping every day.
But Li Zhanying was not happy, she said again and againI'm fine, I'm in good health, and I don't think I've slept since I can remember.
And it's been so many years, if there is anything wrong with the body, people will be dead for a long time, she resolutely said that there is no need to go to the hospital for examination, there is money to go to the hospital, it is better to buy some delicious and fun for the child.
Li Zhanying's husband couldn't resist her, and the matter of going to the hospital for a check-up was put on hold, so more than 20 years have passed, and his wife has indeed not had any serious illness, Li Zhanying's husband said that his wife is a little worried in addition to not sleeping, and she is very good at working and cooking.
At first, the people in the village also talked about Li Zhanying, speculating whether she was possessed by a ghost, and they had never seen someone who didn't sleep every day and could be a hundred times more energetic.
But after a long time, I haven't seen any other major problems with her, and gradually everyone is quite envious of her body, because she is like a perpetual motion machine, she feels that she never needs to rest, especially when the farm is busy, her family's efficiency is always the fastest.
Not only Li Zhanying's husband, but also people in the same village said that she had never slept, which shows thatLi Zhanying didn't lie, so what's the problem?
- Anomaly discovered
After many inspections to no avail, this incident aroused the curiosity of reporters, and Li Zhanying herself was also very curious, what caused him not to have to sleep, and he could still be a hundred times more energetic, which was different from ordinary people.
In September 2008, reporters took them to a more authoritative hospital to find out what secrets were hidden in Li Zhanying's body.
After listening to their descriptions, the doctors were also very curious about the reason why Li Zhanying had not slept for 40 years, and after discussion by experts, they unanimously decided to give her a 24-hour polysomnography test to see if she had slept by monitoring Li Zhanying's brain waves.
This time, not only did Li Zhanying have camera surveillance, but also recorded her brain wave changes within 24 hours, and I believe that the truth of the matter will soon be figured out.
After monitoring Li Zhanying's 24-hour brain wave changes, the doctor found after careful analysisLi Zhanying slept in these 24 hours, and didn't sleep as she saidIt's just that she sleeps for a very short time each timeIt's hard to notice.
When Li Zhanying heard the doctor's diagnosis, she reacted very strongly, saying that she hadn't closed her eyes at all, how could she have ever slept, and asked the doctor to watch the surveillance video.
In this regard, the doctor also made a very reasonable explanation, the doctor said:It is very possible to sleep with your eyes openBecause there are many people who sleep with their eyes half-open from birth, which is often referred to as "housekeeping eyes", although it is rare to sleep without closing their eyes, it does not rule out the possibility of this.
Li Zhanying did not agree with the doctor's explanation, but insisted that she was not sleeping, and if she slept, she would definitely notice it, she made it clear that she had been awake, and her eyes were always open, and it was impossible to sleep.
Li Zhanying strongly asked for a new monitoring because she felt that she really hadn't slept, and she suspected that there was probably something wrong with the instrument.
At Li Zhanying's request, the doctor decided to monitor her again, but this time the monitoring time was changed from the original 24 hours to 48 hours, and the longer the monitoring time, the more convincing the results were obtained.
Judging from the results of this monitoring, the doctor is very clear and affirmativeLi Zhanying fell asleep intermittently in the past 48 hours, and a total of 16 hours before and after, from the perspective of time, her sleep time has reached the sleep time required by ordinary people.
Li Zhanying was also very shocked by the test results, but after listening to the expert's analysis, she gradually accepted the facts and felt very happy.
Li Zhanying's body mechanism may be really different from ordinary people, the doctor said that her sleep quality is much better than that of ordinary people, ordinary people may need a few hours of rest, for her may be more than a few minutes of time.
Although judging from the monitoring results, she has never had a few hours of uninterrupted sleep in these 48 hours, it may be for her"Five minutes of sleep, two hours of work".A few minutes of sleep may give her a good rest.
Maybe for us ordinary people, a few minutes, let alone reaching a state of deep sleep, may not even be able to fall asleep, but for Li Zhanying, time can be said to be very sufficient.
After this continuous and uninterrupted monitoring, the reason why Li Zhanying has not slept for 40 years has also been completely solvedIt's not that she hasn't slept for decades, but that she often falls asleep intermittently, it's just that her sleep style is not like what ordinary people think, she needs to lie in bed and sleep continuously for a long time.
For Li Zhanying, she only needs a short time to make her brain enter a deep sleep, and also ensures the quality of sleep, sometimes it seems that she is listening to others with her eyes open, but in fact, her brain has completely entered a state of rest.
Li Zhanying thinks that she hasn't slept in 40 years, maybe it's just because she feels like she hasn't slept for hours in a row with her eyes closed, but what she doesn't know isUnbeknownst to her, her brain had actually completely relaxed and gone into a deep sleep.
At this point, Li Zhanying and his family also put their hearts completely in their stomachs, because they are not possessed by ghosts and gods as everyone says, nor are they aliens, but a very normal and healthy ordinary person, but their sleep ability is better than that of ordinary people.
