After Dark and Sleeping Beauty Syndrome

Well, here's a tidbit too fascinating to pass over!!  I saw this on the news today and found a video link for you.  I immediately thought of the character, Eri Asai, in Murakami's After Dark.  Kleine-Levin Syndrome proves that truth is stranger than ficion, but Murakami has managed to straddle that gap by sheer force of his imagination. I am impressed.
