Accustomed to Staying Up Late Since Childhood, Seamstress Claims She Hasn't Slept for 30 Years

The 49-year-old woman said that the condition she experienced was not congenital. She suspected that her habit of staying up late since childhood due to her love of reading until late at night had given her the ability to go without sleep for long periods.

"Not only when he was a child, the habit of staying up late continued when Kim started becoming a tailor. Instead of reading, this time he had to work to finish orders until late at night. That habit eventually made Kim feel that he didn't need sleep at all. Although he currently feels that his health is not disturbed, Kim expressed that the habit of not sleeping in the early days did cause him to face problems. At that time, Kim often experienced various issues ranging from fatigue, dizziness, to traffic accidents."

“Several times the first time I worked all night, I encountered many difficulties. I not only kept falling asleep and made many mistakes while sewing, but I constantly felt tired and dizzy, and I even experienced some traffic accidents.”

The problem he faced gradually disappeared after Kim started to get used to not sleeping for months. "My eyes and body began to adapt to the lack of sleep. Since then, I can't sleep even though I want to," he said.

The insomnia experienced by the woman for decades has not been medically proven. Nevertheless, her claim is considered more than just a rumor circulating. She claims that the perception of her never sleeping may arise because people can see her working all day and all night. Moreover, she is always at her sewing booth in the Long Cang commune, Long An.

"The light is always on, and the door is always open, so people can just walk in or simply see it working. “At first, only a few people noticed my lack of sleep,” said My Kim."

“Then, many of them began to notice that I was always working at my kiosk. Seeing that the rumor was true, they spread it, and before long, I became famous for my ability to stay awake continuously,”
