Russian Leyka Sleep Aids Peasant Famine Survival
The Bureau of Statistics reports on a Russian practice called leyka where families in famine districts lie down to sleep for four to five months to conserve food and energy. Peasants reduce movement and daily intake, aiming to preserve life until the next harvest, with the method described as a regular, generational adaptation rather than temporary hibernation. The article notes curiosity about the physiological and psychological aspects of this dormant state and its moral implications.
