Medical science has progressed exponentially in recent times, but scientists are still left with unanswered questions when it comes to the human body. "Medical Mysteries" looks at some of the rarest disorders and syndromes in medicine today. First ABC News examines two cases in which individuals either sleepwalked to their death or caused themselves serious injury while in a dream state. Then, hear the story of a modern day "sleeping beauty," but instead of a fairy tale it's a disease. Medically referred to as Kleine-Levin Syndrome (KLS), the neurological disorder manifests itself in an unexplainable urge to sleep continuously for periods up to 23 hours a day. The disease, which affects an estimated 500 people worldwide, completely removes people from day-to-day life for weeks or months at a time, and has no known cure. ABC News also examines two couples who have had severe sleep issues. In one case a husband routinely initiates unwelcome sex with his wife while he says he is asleep. In the second case, the wife is also the victim of physically aggressive behavior from her sleeping husband, but this time it's violent. The program investigates why and how these behaviors occur.
