19 SLEEPLESS YEARS
“Just Think Of 1t...” For 19 years Carol Grane, a 40-year-old Rumanian, has been travelling the world trying to find someone or something that will send him to sleep.' Now he has come to London, wondering whether doctors and surgeons can give him'sleep. “Nineteen years without sleep,” he said quietly to a reporter. “Just think of it. ...” “Since the war—when the trouble first began, after I had been knocked unconscious in a bombing raid—l wandered over the world seeking a cure.
“At Munich they worked intensively on my case. All they could do in the end was to offer me £9OOO for my head when I died.” I asked M. Grane how he feels after years of sleepless nights. “Strangely enough,” he answered, “I can work as hard as anyone for a few hours if I wash in cold water first thing in the morning. “Doctors have advised me not to take too much physical exercise. They tell me to sleep on a hard bed. Then on a soft bed. “But it’s all the same. I can’t sleep.”
