Ukrainian Hasn’t Slept In 20 Years

Weird stuff…

A 63-year-old man who hasn’t slept for more than two decades has been told there is nothing medically wrong with him by doctors.

Ukrainian Fyodor Nesterchuk from the town of Kamen-Kashirsky said the last time he managed to doze off was more than 20 years ago.

All attempts by doctors to put him to sleep have failed.

Sleeping is one of life’s pleasures that I enjoy the most.
If I weren’t able to sleep for 20 years, I’d most probably kill myself!

  1. Yeah, I too was shocked when I read it.
    I couldn’t believe someone went on without sleep for that long.

    But then again our world is full of weird stuff. I’m starting to believe that there is no such thing as unbelievable.

  2. I am a surtified docter (nurse) I have looked this up this is not! I repeat not! true

  3. note: I expect a “certified doctor” to be able to spell correctly hahahahah. Anyways, the news on the guy who hasn’t slept in 20 years. pretty cool, whether it’s a scam or not, the idea in of itself is awesome! I’d like to not sleep for a year or two…at least until I can pass college lol.

  4. I am not a “surtified docter” or nurse however I’d like to say that Laura is as if not more full of crap than the story. anyone who went through the schooling to be a doctor or a nurse would be able to spell certified, and DOCTOR. secondly, i believe it is possible. i have insomnia and i stay awake on average of 3-7 days at a time… I could stay awake longer but i get bored… and i feel bad for that guy IF he isn’t lying.
