A Pennsylvania teenager slept for 64 days from Thanksgiving into January -- her longest sleeping episode yet.

Nicole Delien, 17, struggles with a rare sleep disorder called Kleine-Levine, or ‘Sleeping Beauty Syndrome’.

During her sleep spells she will wake up in a confused state for small periods of time to eat and go to the bathroom and then fall back to sleep.

Sleeping is somewhat in a way similar to hibernation. Everything in the body slows down, so I can imagine that's probably how she survived. But 64 days? That's actually pretty amazing. I wonder if she actually lucid dream a lot or not throughout those 64 days and all the other times she sleep.

That would be strange and unsettling thing to happen, you would miss out on so much.  Looking forward to thanksgiving and waking up on valentines day.

Sounds horrible... hope the docs can sort her out.

[CuriousGreek]

Really hope this kind of disease is curable.

Yeah, I agree with you all. Sounds like a bad disorder to have.

Too bad, she's a pretty girl, I guess the syndrome name is correct.

Apparently she woke up for short periods of time to eat, before going back to sleep.

But she got to meet Katy Perry.

Thats all you think about isnt it?

[WoIverine]

19 times a day, like the average male.

If I was her father, I'd make everything look post apocalyptic.

When she wakes up I'd urgently say "Darling, the world has changed since you last awoke. It's very dark outside".
I'm a cruel person aren't I?

Not really, I was thinking, pump her full of stimulants and see what happens?
