Real Life 22 Years Old Sleeping Beauty Is Asleep For 5 Years

Everyone knows the tale about sleeping beauty. We have grown up hearing the story. What if the childhood tale turns to reality? Yes, there is a real life sleeping beauty. Here is the story of Beth Goodier and her mother.  

This is Beth Goodier

Right before her 17th birthday, Beth was highly exhausted and she slept on the couch. For the next six months, she did not wake up properly. She slept for 22 hours a day and she stayed up only for 2 hours.

Beth’s mother Janine says she has spent more than half of her life sleeping

Janine calculated that her daughter slept 75% of the time over the last five years.

This is called the sleeping beauty syndrome

Beth was diagnosed with Kleine-Levin Syndrome (KLS). It is popularly known as Sleeping Beauty Syndrome. But the reason behind this syndrome is still unknown.

The condition persists even today

KLS was diagnosed about two and half months before and Bath still spends most of her time sleeping at home. She feels tired to walk and needs to be pushed to visit to the doctor.

But Beth has found her prince charming

Her tale may be un-fairy but the sleeping beauty has met her prince charming. Her 24 year old boyfriend Dan always stays by her side. They met three years ago when Beth was in her wake up phase.
