Meet Li Zhanying: The Woman Who Hasn’t Slept in 40 Years

• A woman who claims that she has not slept in the past 40 years has gotten doctors shocked

• Doctors were initially unable to provide a medical explanation for the life pattern of Li Zhanying and what prevents her from sleeping

• A Beijing sleep center has however discovered that Zhanying sleeps for 10 minutes daily but her body remains functional during that time

The amazing story of a Chinese woman has left everyone shocked, including doctors.

The lady named Li Zhanying claimed that she has not slept in the past 40 years.

The 45-year-old woman who lives in Hernan province of eastern China has claimed that the last time that she could sleep successfully was at the age of 5.

Initially, many neighbors thought that her claims were false so they tried to stay awake with her to see if they could catch her sleeping. They eventually gave up after sleeping off themselves.

Li’s husband Lui Suoquin has also backed up his wife’s statement, saying that he has never caught her sleeping.

Li Zhanying seizes the nighttime as an opportunity to clean the house rather than sleeping.

Despite various sleeping medications, her insomnia problem remained as doctors also failed to provide a medical explanation.

Following a recent visit to a specialist sleep center, experts have discovered that Li does sleep, but not like most people.

The specialists found that during conversations with her husband, her eyes would slow down as her body relaxes for 10 minutes.

Unlike normal sleep with most people, her brain remains functional and she can maintain conversations while sleeping.

Even though Li Zhanying hasn’t slept in 40 years, doctors say that there are no health concerns since she does rest.
