Jaipur, 15th July 2021: There is also a person in Bhadwa village in Nagaur district of Rajasthan who sleeps for 300 days in a year. From his food to bath and all the work is done in his sleep. It sounds weird.

But 42-year-old Purkharam is suffering from a strange illness. Due to excessive sleep, the family members and the people of the village call him Kumbhakaran. The family has to struggle for 2 to 3 hours to wake Purkharam from sleep.

Even after a lot of efforts by the family members, he only wakes up for 5 minutes. Sometimes he sleeps continuously for 20 to 25 days.

Family members say that about 23 years ago, Purkharam had Hypersomnia. The person suffering from this disorder always sleeps.

According to Purkharam’s wife Lichma Devi, he used to sleep for 5 to 7 days in the beginning of the illness, but later this time limit increased.

The relatives say that till 23 years ago there was a shop of Purkharam in the village. But now it is closed due to illness. Now Purkharam’s entire family lives by farming. Apart from mother Kanvari Devi and wife Lichma, there are two daughters Seema and Geeta in the family.
