Kleine-Levin Syndrome (KLS)
Could you imagine sleeping up to 23 hours in a day? How about 23 hour a day for up to 3 weeks in a row? Getting that much sleep doesn’t sound very magical, but that’s exactly what sufferers of Kleine-Levin Syndrome experience.
Although nicknamed “Sleeping Beauty Syndrome,” sufferers sleep nearly entire days away for several days to weeks at a time. When they do wake they often exhibit unusual behaviors such as: binge eating, compulsive behaviors, sometimes childlike behaviors.
