Life under the gun
Now the man is engaged in agriculture and lives in the province of Quangnam. Vietnamese are often visited by foreign journalists who are interested in its phenomenon. Reporters place dozens of cameras around the house and surrounding area that record all the movements of a man and his family around the clock. With particular interest, crew members watch Ngok Thai at night.
And in the dark, he does the usual things: weaves bamboo baskets and works on the land. The Vietnamese is an ideal worker, he performs more tasks in one day than ordinary people. On sleepless nights, Ngok Thai prefers to spend time in the field. At home, the Vietnamese gets bored at night, he often drinks tea and smokes.
In the morning, a tired film crew tends to get to bed as soon as possible. And Ngok at this time again goes to the field, it is time for him to start working. A Vietnamese receives money from journalists for interviews. Several films have been made about Ngok, but he does not require large fees.

Why did Ngok Thai stop sleeping?
There are several versions that explain the feature that appeared in the Vietnamese. They both look true, but the real reason for insomnia is known only to Mr. Ngoku. According to the first version, in 1973, the famous Vietnamese suffered a severe fever. After recovery, the man lost all interest in sleep, which never returned to him. According to another version, Mr. Ngok Thay once overheated in the sun. After that, the Vietnamese stopped sleeping and began to work at night.

Doctors examined an unusual patient, but found no abnormalities in him. The Vietnamese has good memory, as well as his physical condition. Mr. Ngok does hard work every day and is not particularly tired.
To live so many years without sleep is amazing. An ordinary person with such a rhythm of life could already lose his mind. Some journalists persuade Mr. Ngok to go to developed countries and seek medical help there, because his phenomenon needs to be investigated. But the famous Vietnamese refuses such offers, because he does not know what he will do in an unfamiliar country at night without his farm. The meaning of his life is work, Ngok does not want to sit idle.
