Everyone loves to sleep, but imagine sleeping for weeks at a time. That’s not so pleasant, according to Statesboro native Steven “Earle” Tanner. Since age 13, Tanner has suffered from Kleine-Levin syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that causes the body to manufacture a substance that acts as an anesthetic, resulting in “recurring excessive amounts of sleep, altered behavior and a reduced understanding of the world,” said his sister Andrea Whitfield.
