His family says that initially, Purkharam slept for over 7 to 8 days at a go but the symptoms worsened as time passed. Now he sleeps for 20 to 25 days in one go.
He was diagnosed with this rare condition 23 years ago, which has affected his life in such a way that his family members have to bathe and feed him while he is asleep.
Axis Hypersomnia can be described as a chronic neurological sleep disorder that leads to daytime sleepiness and/or long sleep hours (more than 9-10 hours in 24-hours).
