Man hasn't slept in 50 years

Ananova - Man hasn't slept in 50 years
A 71-year-old Chinese man claims he hasn't slept properly for more than 50 years.

Song Shikuan, of Pinyu city in Henan province, says he hasn't had a night's sleep since he was 20, reports the Dahe Daily.

Before that, he used to sleep for an hour or two each night but says a few minutes' nap is all he now needs, reports Dahe Daily.

"I feel totally okay, except for the dryness of my eyes," he said.

He is being treated at his local people's hospital where he also works as a cleaner but doctors have been unable to cure his insomnia.

Hospital spokesman Zhang Xianqiu said it was possible that Song's short naps provided him with all of the energy he needed.

Speaking about Project Management - this is the kind of worker that most managers dream about - especially in countries in which they do not have overtime or other penalty rates!
