It
doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest
to stay alive. That's what all doctors thought, until they heard about Al
Herpin. Al Herpin, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors
decided to see this strange man themselves.
Al
Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They
thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him
and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they
watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Herpin sleeping.
In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.
The
only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and
reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous
sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They
found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some
talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But
that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure.
Al
Herpin died at the age of 95.
