Sleeping beauty: Louisa Ball suffers from Kleine-Levin Syndrome, a rare condition where people sleep for weeks at a time
" She first developed the disorder in October 2008 after recovering from a bout of flu.
Her mother Lottie, 45, said: ‘She had a dose of flu that lasted for about a week but she never really recovered properly from it. "
She sleeps for ten days at a time. She sleeps deeply for 22 hrs, then her parents wake her just long enough to give her some food and take her to the toilet, then she goes back to sleep.
