Al Herpin, who born in 1862, was an American known as the "Man Who Never
Slept". Al Herpin, who lived in Trenton, New Jersey, claimed to have
developed a rare case of insomnia, whereby he could not sleep. The
supposed cause is unknown, although it may be linked to his mother
suffering a major injury a few days prior to his birth.
In the late 1940s, Al Herpin's claim attracted the attention of several
medical professionals; inspecting his house they found no bed, or other
sleep-related furniture, but only a rocking chair. Herpin claimed that
after a long day's work, he would rest in his rocking chair reading the
newspaper until dawn, then return to work. He was in good health, and
had a constant level of high awareness, defying all scientific
understanding of the necessity for sleep. Al Herpin died on January 3,
1947, reportedly at the age of 94.
