Vietnamese farmer Thai Ngoc, 81, claims he has not slept since 1962 after suffering a high fever during the Vietnam War. Despite more than six decades without rest, he remains active—working on his farm, making rice wine, and maintaining good health. YouTuber Drew Binsky spent a night with him in 2023 and confirmed Ngoc stayed awake the entire time. Medical tests have found no major issues, leaving experts puzzled about how he survives without sleep.
