Kleine - Levin Syndrome (Sleeping Beauty Syndrome)




Below is an article (in English) about a teenage girl who suffers from what is nicknamed "Sleeping Beauty Syndrome". It is a neurological disorder that causes one to sleep for long periods of time (reported cases say up to 8 weeks) and also causes Jekell and Hyde personality changes.

Additionally, there is an article from "Time" magazine about the disorder and treatments for it.
