A [2015 •河南信阳高级中学高三第六次大考]

When Louisa Ball takes a nap, she sleeps for days on end, and no amount of shaking can fully wake her up. The British girl has a rare condition called Sleeping Beauty syn?drome. Doctors don't know what causes it or how to cure it― only know that it strikes teenagers and goes away by itself af?ter 8 to 12 years.

Louisa's mum, Lottie, told NBC Nexvs that the girl had flu-like symptoms just over a year ago. Shortly afterwards, she had her first period of long sleeping.

She was eventually diagnosed with Kleine-Levin syn?drome, whose victims worldwide may number no more than 1,000. The victims live normally for weeks or months at a time, with normal sleep patterns and normal energy levels. Then, with little warning, they'll go to sleep for days or weeks at a time. So far, Louisa's longest period in bed has been 13 days. Victims will wake briefly, but be disoriented and not fully awake. Louisa's parents force her awake so she can use the bathroom and eat.

Now, Louisa's friends can tell when a period is coming on. She stops talking and she may be annoyed easily. That's when she knows she has to get home to her bed. Louisa has slept through family vacations, the dance recitals she loves to perform in, and school tests. Now it becomes increasingly difficult to catch up on the missed schoolwork.

But just as doctors don't know the cause, they also don't know why it ends as mysteriously as it begins. The illness is unrelated to narcolepsy (嗜睡症)，whose victims are con?stantly tired and drop off for brief periods of sleep at any?time.

It's so dramatic that some people have accused Louisa of making the false symptoms to get attention. Her father, Richard, thinks that's absurd.
