<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Most people will be familiar with the tale of Sleeping Beauty.<\/p>\n
It details the story of a princess who is put to sleep for 100 years as part of an enchantment spell.<\/p>\n
While Nicole Delian's situation is not so severe, she has been known to pass out for up to 64 days in a row.<\/p>\n
The youngster has a condition known as Kleine-Levin Syndrome – also termed Sleeping Beauty Syndrome – and it means that she will regularly doze off for 17 or 18 hours of the day.<\/p>\n
Her mother Vicki said to the Metro: "We took her from doctor to doctor, they still couldn't figure out what it was. One doctor even said she was doing it for attention."<\/p>\n
Indeed, one year she even managed to sleep right through Christmas because of the problem.<\/p>\n
While sleeping for that long might seem like a great way to pass time, I'm sure after a while it would start to get pretty annoying.<\/p>\n
