The strangest sleep disorders .. Women who fall asleep every time we laugh!

Think of thousands of people with rare and strange disorders.
Recently, neuroscientists have begun to understand what happens in the brain during sleep and why such strange phenomena occur.

– The man who slept for 10 days
A young man (age 19) sleeps for about 5 to 10 days with Klein Levin syndrome, also known as Sleeping Beauty, and wakes up briefly in the kitchen for light and sweet meals or to go in the toilet.
According to his mother, the young man wakes up panicked by the widening of his eyes and by the classic symptoms of Klein Levin syndrome, which has afflicted him for 15 years. His condition (by mistake) was diagnosed as depressed.
No one knows why Klein's syndrome is present, although a virus may be involved, resulting in inflammation of the brain or a genetic abnormality.
The symptoms are likely to appear due to the failure of the hypothalamus, an area that regulates our appetite and sleep cycle. This can cause the body and the brain to fall asleep too long.
Some patients respond to stimulant medications, which helps them stay alert during attacks. Other patients may be treated with a commonly used medication to control epilepsy.

– A woman sleeps when she laughs
Emotional trauma usually leads to fatigue and the need to sleep. The stressful positions also consume a lot of energy, so that the brain stops briefly.
But in a strange phenomenon of excessive drowsiness or hyperactivity, a young mother spoke of a situation in which she fell asleep every time she laughed. It was discovered that she was suffering from a rare "aortic disease", causing muscle weakness accompanied by full awareness in situations of intense emotion, such as laughter, crying. or fear.
Patients are usually treated with steroids and antidepressants to help them sleep at night, reducing the risk of sleep during the day.

It should be noted that one of the most famous and strangest sleep disorders, sleep paralysis, occurs when the brain wakes up before the disappearance of normal muscle paralysis in dream sleep.
Experts say waking up in a state of "paralysis" with a focus on small rather than large movements can help overcome it.
