Deep in the Mist

Welcome to today's episode of "Close to Science." Li Zhanying, a villager in Laoli Village, Zhongmou County, claims that he has not slept in more than 40 years. In order to verify, the program team tracked and monitored her for 48 hours. The reporters couldn't bear it anymore. Li Zhanying was still full of energy and could carry a piece of wood as thick as a bowl. The truth turned out to be: She slept for a total of 16 hours in 48 hours, but her sleep was extremely fragmented, often only for a few minutes, and she could even fall asleep with her eyes open - she was not aware of it. Netizens joked about the outrageous case that was "close to science". Turning off the video, Yu Li was not amused. I am also someone who only needs to fall asleep in fragments to fall asleep. But why do I enter a fog when I sleep? Moreover, time still passes in the fog. No matter how long you have been in it, it only takes a moment to wake up. Or are the program reports just giving everyone a suitable scientific excuse?
