Answer 2

It's not uncommon for people to sleep 24 -36 hours when they are exhausted for some reason, I've tried it a couple of times. The longest I've slept was 40 hours, but I also had a high fever then. Other than that I can't find my source, I feel certain that I read it in a medical book that I own but I can't find it. There is a woman that sleeps for days sometimes weeks and her family feeds her and make her drink without her waking up. While they think a medical condition is behind it they hadn't found that medical condition when the book was made. That's back in the 80's so things will probably have changes since then. It wasn't a coma or anything like that, she just fell asleep, slept for a long time and then she got up and it was business as usual.
