1. Sleeping Beauty Syndrome
The girl who sleeps for ten days at a run When 15-year-old Louisa Ball takes a nap, she doesn't mess around. She sleeps for days on end, and no amount of shaking or prodding can fully wake her up. The British girl has a rare condition called Sleeping Beauty Sickness, but there's no Prince Charming on the way to rescue her. Doctors don't know what causes it or how to cure it — only that it strikes teenagers and goes away by itself after 8 to 12 years.She was eventually diagnosed with Kleine-Levin Syndrome, whose victims worldwide may number no more than 1,000. The victims live normally for weeks or months at a time, with normal sleep patterns and normal energy levels. Then, with little warning, they'll go to sleep for days or weeks at a time. So far, Louisa's longest bout in bed has been 13 days. Victims will wake briefly, but be disoriented and not fully alert. Louisa's parents force her awake so she can use the bathroom and eat.
2. Sexsomnia
The woman who has all night sex while asleep Worn-out Haley Batty, 23, is suffering from an amazing sleepingsickness that really does keep her boyfriends up all night. This medical condition means she can't help pestering them for sex from bedtime 'till dawn. But she's ASLEEP all the time—and never remembers a thing in the morning. The medical condition sexomnia makes Haley Batty demand sex while she's asleep. Haley's been dumped by a string of menwho got the hump when they asked, "Was it good for you, too?" only to get the response, "Eh?" because she'd been unconscious all night. She sighs, “I can have sex three or four times a night if the guys have the stamina, but in the morning I won't know anything about it."Sexsomnia, or sleep sex, is a sleep disorder, where people have sex while they're sleeping without realizing it! Most times, they can't remember anything that happened, and because they're unaware that this is a medical condition, they don't seek professional help. According to a study, sexsomnia affects 11% of male and 4% of women.On August 8, 2007, a British RAF mechanic was cleared of a rape charge after the jury found him not responsible for his actions when he had sex with a 15-year-old girl.
3. Non-24-Hour Sleep Disorder
People who have constant jet-lagWhen it comes to sleeping disorders, none of them are as strange and difficult to treat as the non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder. People affected by this disorder have internal body clocks which refuse to acknowledge the standard 24-hour cycle of a day and therefore do not necessarily associate night with sleep, and day with being awake. (For example, a person whose natural internal body clock was 28 hours long would seek sleep at intervals four hours later each day, incrementally, than typical people would.) Most interestingly, while Non-24 affects both blind people and sighted ones, it is very prevalent in blind people who do lack light sensitivity, suggesting that ourbody clocks are a function of the Earth's rotation.

4. Narcolepsy
People who fall asleep suddenly during regular activitiesPerhaps one of the best known, and yet still weird, sleep disorders is narcolepsy, which has a tendency to put people to sleep unexpectedly while they are engaged in normal, everyday activities, such as driving, jogging or washing dishes.Narcolepsy is a neurological sleep disorder that is commonly associated with falling asleep at random times. Narcoleptics tend to fall directly into REM sleep, when most dreaming occurs, and less commonly enter deeper and more restful stages of non-REM sleep. As a result, they are unable to stay awake for extended periods of time, and upon falling back asleep, they still are unable to experience sleep's more restorative stages, causing a vicious cycle of extreme sleepiness and inability to stay awake after having slept. Another symptom can include cataplexy, the sudden collapse of an individual into REM sleep upon experiencing strong emotions. Sleep paralysis and hypnogogic hallucinations (hallucinations which accompany sleep paralysis) are also known to be symptoms. The cause of narcolepsy has not been determined. It is widely believed to be an autoimmune disorder, but it may also be genetic. Treatments include stimulants, anti-depressants, or hypnotic medications such as Xyrem.
