Talking About Dreams 10

  Meet Louisa Ball, 15, who can sleep for days together when she first shuts her eyes to sleep. She doesn't mess around with that. This british girl has a rare sleeping disorder - 'Sleeping beauty sickness'. No kind of shaking or prodding can wake Louisa up when she's fast asleep. The symptoms, causes or a cure for this disease are unknown to doctors. However, they say it only strikes teenagers and is likely to vanish by the age of 12-13 years.
