We are all aware of the story of Sleeping Beauty but who would have thought that it would soon be a sickness in our modern age? Well apparently it is around and a 15 year old from Britain is inflicted with it. Louisa Ball got the “disease” when she was 13 after a bout with the flu. Louisa needs to be woken up forcefully or else she would end up sleeping for days or even up to a month!
When she does get up, these are only for brief spells. In the end, she was diagnosed with Kleine-Levin Syndrome where research conducted on this relatively rare disease is insufficient for now. The syndrome is unrelated to Narcolepsy where the patients are constantly tired and drop off for brief periods of sleep.
