Kumbhkaran, Is That You? Man Suffering From Rare Disease Sleeps 300 Days A Year
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
If you were a fan of the ancient Indian epic Ramayana, you'd be familiar with how the Hindu god, Ram, who was also the exiled prince of Ayodhya, used the help of Hanuman to rescue his wife Sita by defeating Ravan, in an ultimate battle. © Doordarshan Well, you'd also remember that Ravan, the King of Lanka, also had a brother called Kumbhkaran, who fascinated us equally. The saying was that Kumbhkaran would sleep for as long as six months because of a curse on him. During the war between Ram and Ravan, Kumbhkaran was awakened with great difficulty as he only ended up waking up after a thousand elephants walked on top of him. Imagine waking someone up who sleeps like that? Hard, right? Well, there is indeed a real-life Kumbhkaran who resides in Rajasthan and goes by the name of Purkharam. (kind of rhymes, don't you think?) The 42-year-old man from Rajasthan's Nagaur city is apparently even more difficult to wake up than Kumbhkaran, as Purkharam actually sleeps for 300 days in a year. © Times Now Now, while it is obviously fascinating to find someone who sleeps like that, the fact is that Purkharam, unfortunately, suffers from a rare disorder which is known as Axis hypersomnia. With normal people usually needing just six to eight hours of sleep a day, Purkharam ends up sleeping 25 days at a stretch due to the rare disorder which he was diagnosed with around 23 years ago. In the initial days of the condition, he would end up sleeping excessively, around 15 hours a day, after which his family got worried and sought medical help. However, his condition worsened as years went by, and his sleeping duration increased from several hours to several days in a month. Now, his symptoms are far worse than anyone could have imagined as he sleeps for 20 to 25 days at a stretch. Purkharam, who operates a local shop, is unfortunately able to work for only five days a month, as it becomes very difficult to wake him up when he sleeps. As a result, his family has to feed him and bathe him while he is still asleep most of the time. The condition is clearly no joke, as despite receiving treatment and due to the excess sleep, he feels fatigued most of the time and often complains that his productivity is almost close to nil. As per reports, he also complains of severe headaches amongst some of the symptoms of his rare condition. His family, of course, wants him to recover from it so that one day he can lead a normal life like everyone else and be rid of this awful sleeping curse. View the full article -
