A man in Wuhan, Hubei province, took his wife to see a doctor as she got up in the middle of the nights "too often" to drink water, imagining it to be some sort of disease.

Disease it was, psychological though - Xiao's pregnant wife, Wang, was addicted to an Internet game.

Wang revealed the truth to her husband when doctors examined her thoroughly and found absolutely nothing wrong with her.

Wang said it started off as a way to while away her time at home, but the game soon turned into an addiction.

"I was too guilty to admit to anyone I might be addicted. So I would sneak out in the middle of the nights to play the game," she said.
