The man was diagnosed with HPA Axis Hypersomnia and experiences unusually prolonged periods of sleep.
The “Kumbhkarna” of real life
What started as 15-hour naps have evolved into bouts of sleep that can last up to 25 consecutive days. Pukhram, was dubbed the real-life “Kumbhkarna”, the mythological character from the Ramayan, famous for sleeping undisturbed for six months.
The man’s family took on the difficult task of caring for him as he deals with this disorder. What was once a 5-7 day nap has become a constant challenge as Pukhram sleeps for 20-25 days a month today.
