Still Waters Posted November 18, 2012 #1 Share Posted November 18, 2012 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. http://www.dailymail...-condition.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simbi Laveau Posted November 18, 2012 #2 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I was wondering how she survived without eating et .That time of the month must be very unpleasant too 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheProphetMark Posted November 18, 2012 #3 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I was wondering how she survived without eating et .That time of the month must be very unpleasant too 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashotep Posted November 18, 2012 #4 Share Posted November 18, 2012 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mnemonix Posted November 19, 2012 #10 Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) I was wondering how she survived without eating et .That time of the month must be very unpleasant too Apparently she woke up for short periods of time to eat, before going back to sleep. But she got to meet Katy Perry. Edited November 19, 2012 by Mnemonix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Fluffs Posted November 19, 2012 #14 Share Posted November 19, 2012 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? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, I was thinking, pump her full of stimulants and see what happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lava_Lady Posted November 22, 2012 #19 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I saw a documentary on this disorder, another young woman; apparently it's an issue with the pituitary or something but it goers away as they get older. I'm passed my teen years and there are days when I think I could sleep maybe a week straight.. thank goodness for coffee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
