15.Nicole Delien,a 17-year-old girl,is called a"Real-life Sleeping Beauty"because of her unusually long sleeping periods of time.In fact,the Pennsylvania teen,whose longest sleep lasted for a record of 64days,wishes she could just be a normal teenager!Nicole's sleeping sickness-Klein-Levin Syndrome or Sleeping Beauty Sickness-which began when she was just 6years old,is so rare that it took visits to several hospitals before Dr.Michael Rancurello at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania,was able to diagnose (診斷) it and provide some medication and advice to help manage it.
Now,whenever Nicole starts to feel down,her family and friends know she is getting ready for a long sleep and let her sleep for as long as she needs to,waking her up only to eat and go to the bathroom.While the average sleep lasts 18-19hours,many are much longer.What's worse is that she has no clue (跡象) when they will appear.Sometimes she is struck every few months,at other times the gap is as long as a full year.
Though it may appear fun,Nicole is missing many important events thanks to this strange disease.She is forced to skip not only school but also major holidays.For example,the young girl has only been awake for three Christmas days since her age of 7.
The good news is that it magically disappears when the teens become adults and has no lasting effects.We surely hope Nicole's symptoms will go away soon so that she can lead a normal life again!
