Sleepless Man.

During WWI, a Hungarian soldier named Paul Kern was shot in the frontal lobe, making him unable to fall asleep. He lived for years afterwards, and no one knows how.

There was once a Hungarian man who was shot through the frontal lobe of his brain in the First World War. His name was Paul Kern and the amazing thing about him is that after he sustained his injury he never slept again. Never. Ever. And he didn't just live for one more year - Paul Kern went on to live for another forty years in good health. I know this sounds improbable but it's true. He was a medical mystery; a misfit. Instead of sleeping, he would just lie down and close his eyes and rest and nothing would make him sleep: not sedatives, not hypnosis and not drugs.
