A woman from Leicester suffering from a one-in-a-million “sleeping beauty syndrome” can sleep for up to 22 hours a day, waking in a dream-like state for two hours to eat, drink and go to the toilet.

Rhoda Rodriguez-Diaz, 21, is a psychology student who was diagnosed by doctors in September last year with Kleine-Levin Syndrome, reported the Daily Mail.
