talk about mc insomnia this is insane
UKRAINIAN MALE WIDE AWAKE FOR 20 YEARS
KIEV, January 14 (RIA Novosti) - Fyodor Nesterchuk, 63, of the town of Kamen-Kashirsky, Ukraine's Volynsky region, has not been asleep for the past 20 years. No soporific can do the job and no doctor has managed to put him to sleep even for half an hour, reports the Ukrainian private ICTV channel.
Having survived such a long period of ailment, the Volynsky resident has already reconciled himself to it: the pensioner works as an insurance agent in the daytime and reads at night. "I start with periodicals, then pass to fiction. When the eyes get tired, I switch off the light and keep dozing in the vain attempt to fall asleep," says Nesterchuk who has already re-read the whole home library for several times.
Nesterchuk's insomnia is treated as an exception from the rules and explained by physicians as a side-effect of the past diseases. "If one feels comfortable, this is no pathology," said Fyodor Koshel, chief of the Lutsk city health department. "Nesterchuk does not look exhausted because of insomnia."
