Ms. Tran Thi Luu works at a school in the city of Quảng Ngãi. Recently, she became popular because it was reported that she hadn’t slept in more than 11 years.

The woman said that her insomnia (失眠) began with a crying episode (经历). Tears just started flowing from her eyes for no reason. Even though she tried to lie down and close her eyes, tears would not stop flowing. The bizarre crying finally stopped, but so did her ability to fall asleep. Try as she might, Luu couldn’t “fall asleep” anymore. Her eyes were tired, but her mind was fully awake, so for the last 11 years she has just lain in bed with her eyes closed to relax while her husband and children are sleeping.

The 36-year-old woman reportedly went to Quang Ngai Provincial Mental Hospital, and the doctors there said she had serious insomnia. They gave her some medicine, and even though taking it made her legs hurt to the point where she was unable to walk, she took it. However, the medicine was expensive and her legs felt too hurt, so she stopped taking them after a few months.

The woman is positive about her condition. She believes that one day she will be able to sleep like a normal person again.
