The Sleeping Beauties

It is much more important to know what sort of a patient has a disease, than what sort of disease a patient has. William Osler

In Sweden, hundreds of refugee children fall into a state that resembles sleep for months or years at a time. In Le Roy, a town in upstate New York, teenage girls develop involuntary twitches and seizures that spread like a conta­gion. In the U.S. Embassy in Cuba, employees experience headaches and memory loss after hearing strange noises during the night. These are only a few of the many sus­pected culture-bound psychosomatic syndromes—specific sets of symptoms that exist in a particular culture or environment—that affect people throughout the world.

Sleeping Beauties: Songs We Shouldn't Forget is a 2CD compilation featuring some known and low key pop songs. This was released in 2009 by Universal Music in Netherlands.
