SO TIRED
Euro 2012 Superfan Dies from Sleep Deprivation
A soccer-obsessed man from Changsha in south-central China has reportedly died after staying up for 11 days straight to watch Euro 2012 matches.
The time-difference between Europe and China means that most of the Euro 2012 matches only start at 2:45 AM local time, finishing at daybreak.
Using a false name to protect the identity of the victim's family, it was reported that Jiang Xiaoshan was in good health before the tournament, co-hosted by Poland and Ukraine, which started on June 8.
"We would rest occasionally but he watched everyday and would not miss a single match," one friend told the Sanxiang Metropolis.
Jiang reportedly returned home at 5 AM last Tuesday but when his mother attempted to wake him for dinner that evening she found him dead.
The combined effects of alcohol, tobacco and sleep deprivation were the cause of the 26-year-old’s death.
His friends were shocked when they heard of his untimely passing, saying he lived a “relatively healthy life.” Jiang had even played soccer for his university’s team a couple of years before.
The moral of the story is: take care of yourself, don't replace water with beer, and use your damn DVR.
