Teenager Nicole Delien, a Pennsylvania girl,
reportedly slept for 64
days, starting from
last year’s Thanksgiving Day to
January of this year. The 64 days of sleep is Delien‘s longest yet.
Reports
say that the 17-year-old teen is suffering from a rare sleep disorder called Kleine-Levine, or ‘Sleeping Beauty Syndrome.’
Delien‘s condition wakes her
up in a confused state for a short period for her to be able to eat,
went to the bathroom and sleep again.
According to Delien‘s mother, Vicki, the
real-life sleeping beauty usually sleeps about 18 to 19 hours a day.
Delien’s mother wakes her up to eat.
The Delien Family revealed and explained the “sleeping beauty
syndrome” during an interview with Jeff Probst’s syndicated talk show
this week to make sure other families become aware of the rare disorder.
The real condition of Delien was uncovered by a doctor at Allegheny General
Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
An Oxford Journals indicated that symptoms
leading to the “sleeping beauty syndrome” include excessive sleeping,
disorientation, hallucination, child-like behaviour, binge-eating and periods
of hyper-sexuality when awake.
