Shannon Magee, 17, suffers from a rare neurological disorder which means she can sleep for 22 hours a day for almost a fortnight. She also has bizarre episodes - roughly once a month - where she will belt out pop songs at the top of her voice, walk around naked and have ghostly hallucinations while she sleeps.

17岁的香侬-麦基因为患有一种罕见的脑神经失调症，可以连续两周，每天睡22个小时。大约每个月她都会发作一次，症状很奇怪：睡觉的时候会不由自主地唱歌，裸着身子梦游并且做可怕的噩梦。

For the past five years, the youngster, who has two brothers and three sisters, has slept through birthdays, Christmases, family holidays including a skiing trip to the Alps and even her GCSE exams.

在过去的五年里，她错过了很多重要的事情，比如和兄弟姐妹们一起过生日和圣诞，还错过了一家人去阿尔卑斯山的滑雪旅行以及自己的中学毕业考试。

Shannon was seen by various doctors before finally being diagnosed with Kleine-Levin Syndrome (KLS) after her father. There are only 45 people in the UK who have the condition, which is a complex neurological disorder characterised by periods of excessive amounts of sleep and altered behaviour.

香侬看过很多医生，最终被诊断和父亲一样患有克莱李文症候群（KLS），在英国仅有45人得这种病。KLS是一种伴有间歇性大量睡眠和奇怪举止的复杂神经障碍症。

The teenager wants to become a nurse so she can help others, but is worried her condition will get in the way of her dream. Shannon, a college student in Bolton, Greater Manchester said: “It is like being awake in a coma. It takes part of your life away with it. 'It's like I'm in my own little world and I don't recognise people. When I'm awake it's like I'm sleepwalking.”

香侬想要成为一名护士，但是她担心自己的身体状况根本无法令她实现梦想。香农现在是大曼彻斯特波尔顿大学的一名学生，她说：“我就像是从昏迷中醒来，睡眠剥夺了我的正常生活。我就像是活在自己的世界里，我不记得人名。当我醒来的时候，我觉得自己在梦游。”
