Nicole Delien (born November 6, 1995) is an American woman known for bringing awareness in the media to Kleine–Levin syndrome, a rare sleeping disorder that affects about 1,000 people around the world.
[1] Delien is a United States Pennsylvania resident that was diagnosed with Kleine–Levin Syndrome (KLS) when she was six-and-a-half years old.
[2] In 2012, at 17 years old, Delien started to bring awareness to KLS by appearing in a number of media events to provide a real-life example of the syndrome.
[citation needed] KLS has caused Delien to miss many family holidays and celebrations, including Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Upon hearing about Delien, Perry arranged for a meeting backstage after a performance at a subsequent show in nearby Connecticut.
