Paul was fully awake and aware of the common sense even though he did not sleep for a minute in those years. Sometimes he has a headache caused by an old injury. Doctors all thought that Paul could not live long when he went against the rules of nature. But miraculously, he remained healthy and worked normally many years later.
When everyone fell asleep, Paul just lay down, closed his eyes for about 2 hours to rest, never to sleep.
In 1955, after 40 years without sleep, Paul died of old age. Neurologists from all over Europe have been studying strange cases to upset his perception of sleep, but no one has been able to come up with an answer. What happens in Paul's brain is still a mystery.
