Dancing Through Life

I chose an article from Huffington Post Weird News for this comment because I wanted to try to see how newsworthy it really is.

Kleine-Levin Syndrom, or Sleeping Beauty Syndrome, causes 17 year old from Pennsylvania to sleep 18 to 19 hours a day. Her parents claim that she has slept 34 to 62 days in a row before only to wake up to eat. Even when she is awake she is in a sleepwalking like state.

Now, as far as newsworthiness for this article, I don’t know. Its very rare, only affects 1000 people worldwide, however, in the entertainment category, it is very interesting. Therefore if you look at it from that point of view it is newsworthy. Putting it in the “Weird News” category as well helps.
