A 36-year-old woman in Vietnam has been raising a lot of eyebrows in her home country with claims of suffering from insomnia (失眠症) that has lasted for over 11 years.

Ms. Tran Thi Luu, who works at a preschool in the city of Quảng Ngãi, has become the talk of Vietnamese social media after it was reported that she hasn’t slept in more than 11 years. In a recent interview, the woman said that her decade-long insomnia began with a crying episode. Tears just started flowing from her eyes for no apparent reason, and even trying to lie down and close her eyes couldn’t stop them. The strange crying eventually ceased, but so did her ability to fall asleep. Try as she might, Luu couldn’t “log out” anymore. Her eyes were tired, but her mind was fully awake, so for the last 11 years she has done little other than lie down 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 for examination, and the doctors there said she had serious insomnia. They gave her some pills, and even though taking them made her legs hurt to the point where she was unable to walk, she wanted to sleep so she took them. However, the pills were expensive and her legs felt too hurt, so she stopped taking them after a few months.

The Vietnamese insomniac remains positive about her condition, but she says that she has many health problems, like bone pain and stomach pain all year round, conditions that she thinks may be linked to her lack of sleep. She remains hopeful that one day she will be able to sleep like a normal person again.
