The story of Sleeping Beauty turns out not only to happen in the world of fairy tales or movies. Although not a princess and there is no handsome prince, a girl in England experiences the same syndrome in the real world. Bella Andreou, a 24-year-old girl from Newcastle who was previously full of enthusiasm and active, now spends most of her time in bed. Reported by eva.vn, Bella suffers from Kleine-Levin Syndrome (KLS), also known as "sleeping beauty" syndrome.

"For several months, I constantly lived in fear that I would go crazy and be locked up. If it's a nightmare, it usually wakes up immediately after slipping from the dream cliff or whatever, but my nightmares lasted for 10 days," said Bella. Bella's fiancé, Meg Stone, who is also an engineer, sometimes had to take time off work to take care of her.""

Meg often wakes up periodically so that Bella can eat something before going back to sleep. Meg feels lonely when her beloved starts to relapse with her illness. "The situation is very strange. Sometimes I miss him, even though he is here but it feels like he's not," said Meg. Bella feels that this illness is robbing them of the time they could spend together, but luckily her fiancé is always faithful by her side.

Bella hopes that others can understand her condition and not mock her habit of sleeping all day. Patients with Kleine-Levin syndrome not only sleep a lot, but also experience other symptoms such as childlike behavior upon waking up, anxiety, brain fog, and sleep disturbances, which cause significant physical and mental pressure.
