A Girl Who Slept for 9 Years, And Nobody Knew Why

The record for the most prolonged sleep in history belongs to a girl named Ellen Sadler, who slept for 9 years. She was born in the English village of Turville in the second half of the 19th century in a big family. When she turned 11, she left home to work as a nanny in a nearby town. While away from her family and surrounded by strangers, Ellen began to feel bad. And then, one day, she quietly lay down in her bed and fell asleep. Ellen woke up only after 9 years.
