Rare illness turns girl, 15, into ‘sleeping beauty’ But it’s no fairy tale; asleep for days on end, she has to be wakened to eat

This Article is about a 15 year old girl who really falls asleep for days, sometimes weeks. She has a rare condition called Kleine-Levin Syndrome. It is very rare under 1,000 people have it. Her parents say it's a pain because she has to be waken up to use the bathroom and eat; and when they get her up it's like she is in a tranze and has hardly any energy to lift her eyelids. There is no cure or medicine that can help her. She hopes to one day grow out of it.

Wow, where's the cute Prince Charming? I feel so sorry for this girl. I would hate to loose out on my life like that.

I hope one day she gets better. I thought the writer wrote a good article. This is something rare and you never hear about. I always like to learn new things. I hope they start researching this more and find a cure.

  1. Ha! I did a post on the same article. I agree, think how this condition would affect your life, your ability to maintain friendships and participate in normal teenage activities. I hope she gets better as well.
