Michelle,

And at 20, Miss P can, and occassionally does still sleep for 24 hours at a 
time on weekends/holidays.  I've long since given up worrying about it.  It's 
just the way she (her brain) is programmed.  As long as she's still breathing, 
and maintaining her weight, I say let the girl get some beauty sleep.  Cause 
other times she's up at 3 or 4AM wanting to go bowling.  That self feed diet 
sounds sort of familiar too, but she's putting the cheese on a hamburger bun 
these days.  And she just discovered she can peel tangelos.  Still rumages 
through the fridge for raw mushrooms too.  Some days she eats nothing, and 
others everything in sight.  Again it just seems to be the way she's wired.
