A resident of Australia suffers from a rare neurological disorder, due to which he falls into a state of hypersomnia - excessive sleep duration for long periods of time. This is reported by the Daily Mail.
Harry Dunn, 21, suffers from Kleine-Levin syndrome, also known as sleeping beauty syndrome. This is a rare neurological disorder, due to which a person falls into a state of hypersomnia and can sleep for a long time. Affected people experience episodes that last from a few days to several months. Most often, adolescents are susceptible to Kleine-Levin syndrome, but sometimes young children and adults suffer from it.
In one such episode, Dunn slept 41 days in a row. During sleep periods, he missed his sixteenth and seventeenth birthday, Christmas, and the finals of major sporting events, among others.
Dunn said that during the episodes turns into a zombie: he is able to perform certain actions, for example, eat or use the bathroom, but he loses emotional perception of what is happening, and after waking up he does not remember what happened during sleep.
