As we all know, human beings need to sleep and rest in order for the body to get a good recovery. If you don't sleep, two days a day is OK, but after a long time, the body will have problems. Is it true that there is a peasant woman in our country named Li Zhanying, who actually claims that she has not slept for forty years?
If the human body does not sleep for 7 to 15 consecutive days, immunity will rapidly decline, leading to mental collapse and eventually death. Ms. Lee said she hadn't closed her eyes for forty years, but she was in good shape and looked better than everyone else. Her words were also confirmed by the villagers of the same village. What's going on here?
Since Liu Suoqin married Li Zhanying, he found that his wife never seemed to sleep. Every time he cared to ask her if she had something in mind that she couldn't sleep, Li Zhanying replied that she was not sleepy and had nothing to do. As they spent more time together, he found that his wife had not slept, and went out to work in the middle of the night and lived as usual during the day.
Villagers believe that Liu Suoqin married Bao, and one person can do the work of two people. Only he was not happy, because he was worried that his wife was suffering from some strange disease, so he would ask her from time to time if there was anything uncomfortable. Li Zhanying always replied no, and blamed him for being blind.
Li Zhanying told her husband that she had not slept since she remembered things, and when she was a child, she would call other little sisters to get up at two or three o'clock in the morning, but she did not tell her parents about not sleeping at night. She stayed up sleepless for forty years.
Villagers in the same village have also seen Li Zhanying not sleep at night. At night, everyone played cards together, and when it was late, the other people couldn't stand the sleepiness and went home to sleep. After everyone leaves, Li Zhanying will find something to do on his own. Sometimes I go to the field to carry wheat home, sometimes I go to the soil.
The villagers all envied Li Zhanying for being able to work alone to be worth a few people. Everyone was also curious about her situation, speculating whether she had a strange disease or whether she had two brains that could alternately rest. Later, the news that Li Zhanying had not slept for forty consecutive years was spread, and a reporter came to interview him.
The reporter arrived at Li Zhanying's home in the evening and began to follow up the shooting. At first, Li Zhanying chatted with the neighbors, and after everyone left, the reporter chatted with her.
Li Zhanying said that he would lie in bed and rap and sing at night. Later, the reporter was already sleepy, and at eleven o'clock in the night, he found Li Zhanying wrapped in a quilt on the bed, his eyes were wide open, he looked bright and energetic, he had not slept, and his two eyes were only staring directly at the ceiling.
At five or six o'clock in the morning, Li Zhanying got up to work and made breakfast. The reporter had been observing the whole process with sleepiness, and only then did he believe that Li Zhanying had indeed not slept all night.
Husband Liu Suoqin told reporters that he had gone to the hospital several times before and found that there was gastritis and there was no abnormality. After that, sleeping pills were prescribed, hoping to make her sleep, but unfortunately there was no effect.
Originally, Li Zhanying herself did not care about not sleeping at night, because this is how she lived. But the more the villagers talked, the more strange they became, and they had to collude with the theory of ghosts and gods, and she began to be anxious, desperately wondering why she didn't have to sleep.
So the husband accompanied Li Zhanying to the hospital in Zhengzhou for examination. The doctor was also very confused after understanding the situation, so he asked about the relevant situation. Li Zhanying has regular work and rest, there is no dizziness, and he is energetic in his work.
After the doctor learned about the situation, he suspected that there was an abnormality in the nervous system, so he did another examination, and the results showed that it was still normal. The doctor did not find a problem in the physiology, so he suggested going to the psychologist to see. After the psychologist looked at it, he did not find any disease in Li Zhanying.
So some experts speculated whether Li Zhanying had been injured and caused problems around his eyes, or whether this matter was a lie deliberately made up by Li Zhanying. Li Zhanying said with certainty that he was not injured, let alone lie.
The matter was inconclusive, but Li Zhanying was suspected of lying, and she was more eager to find out the truth, so she found a more professional institution to check.
Doctors in this institution used new examination methods and used polysomnography to detect various functions of Li Zhanying's body. She was then taken into a house where the doctor asked her to go out again in 24 hours.
The instrument has been monitoring the changes in Li Zhanying's various physical skills data, hoping to make new discoveries. After 24 hours passed, the doctor actually found signs of sleep in the data.
Li Zhanying in these 24 hours, according to the data of the sleep map, there are 100 minutes of time is the sleep state, and there is an alternating between light sleep and moderate sleep during the sleep process.
After Li Zhanying knew this result, she repeatedly denied that she had slept, and she stressed that she had not closed her eyes in the room, she was awake, and the data tested by the doctor must be wrong.
In order to determine the symptoms, Li Zhanying went to Beijing Chaoyang Hospital for treatment. The doctor was surprised to learn of her condition, and at the same time more interested, so he used the sleep map method to test.
Like the last test, she also entered a room, this time for 48 hours, that is, two days and two nights, and then her husband needed to be by her side all the time. Doctors have been monitoring their movements ever since.
During the observation process, the doctor found that for a period of time, the EEG data showed that Li Zhanying was asleep, but through the monitoring, she saw that her eyes were open at this time, just like a daze, and the eyeballs did not respond.
The doctor saw in the test data that Li Zhanying fell asleep for about 16 hours in two days, sleep intermittently, and closed his eyes for no more than 10 minutes in the middle. One discovery was very surprising, Li Zhanying was chatting with her husband, and the data showed that she was asleep.
So the doctor speculated from it that Li Zhanying usually rested with his eyes open. In addition to the fact that her physical function is somewhat different from that of ordinary people, she should also be affected by others, because her husband and villagers say that she does not sleep, and she thinks so in her heart after a long time, forming psychological cues.
The doctor told Li Zhanying that she had time to rest, otherwise she would not have had enough energy to work day and night. Everyone's situation is different, but such a long-term, it is not good for physical health, it is best to work and rest normally.
There are many similar situations with Li Zhanying, and there is a man named Hershus abroad who has not been able to sleep since he woke up at night, which lasted for about thirty-four years. During this period, I have been taking medication to induce sleep, but it has not worked. Fortunately, he did not feel any discomfort, and his spirit was good.
There is a seventy-year-old man in Henan, who slept less than two hours a day when he was young. When you get older, you can take a nap or two a day, and then you can recover your strength.
epilogue:
The world is big, and there are many strange people and wonders. Sleep is a good way for the human body to rest, and many people's rest methods are different from ordinary people. Some can explain some phenomena, but now science cannot explain, and it is necessary to further explore and verify in the future.
