13 days asleep would mean pissing the bed 26 times... at least!

Some people have it really easy in life, but this girl has it too easy. Louisa Ball has been diagnosed with Kleine-Levin Syndrome, a disease where the body goes to sleep and basically struggles to wake up. It is a real life sleeping beauty story. There is no treatment for the disease and I am clearly not a doctor but I do have a few questions and ideas of treatment.

First off, to be a sleeping beauty don’t you have to be a beauty in the first place? Little Miss Ball over there is not exactly a beauty by any stretch of the imagination. I know what you’re saying over there, “Hey, knock it off, she is a teenager!” But with too much beauty sleep it clearly has been taking a toll on her looks.

She misses class, birthdays, family gatherings and basically life due to her sleep problems. Everyone is looking at the downside of this disease… but what about the upside? You save money by not having to spend on gifts for birthday parties, and if you don’t make it to college because of sleep problems… at least you won’t be in crippling debt your entire life.

I have a few radical ideas for treatment. Coffee. If I were Dunkin’ Donuts I would jump at the chance of getting this girl a coffee endorsement deal. Literally, she could be just walking around wearing a shirt that says “Powered by Dunkin.” Also, Red Bull would be crazy not to jump in on this opportunity.

What about adrenaline shots? Could she be pulled out of sleep with a stab to the heart of adrenaline? If it could help pull a heroin overdose out of death couldn’t it help with sleeping beauty here?
