Interesting indeed.

from siberiantimes dot com:

Doctor Kabdrashit Almagambetov in the district capital Esil was treating another local Alexander Pavlyuchenko, who fell into a long slumber while on a visit to the local cemetery. He awoke insisting he had been on a fishing expedition.

The doctor said: 'When the patient wakes up, he will remember nothing. The story is one and the same each time - weakness, slow reactions, then fast asleep.

'Sadly, the nature of this condition is still not known. We have excluded infections, we checked blood and spine liquid, nothing is there. We categorised it as toxic encephalopathy, but 'toxic' is just a guess here, and encephalopathy is just the title of the set of brain diseases.'

While higher levels of radon gas were found, he is suspicious that this is the true cause.

'I am an anaesthesiologist myself and we use similar gases for anaesthesia but the patients wake up a maximum in one hour after surgery. These people sleep for two to six days, what is the concentration of this gas then? And why one person falls asleep and somebody who lives with him does not?'

..

As for the experts, somnologist Mikhail Poluektov, who is a tutor of neurotic illnesses at the First Medical Institute, in Moscow, said: 'What is going on in Kazakhstan has nothing in common with any of 85 known sleeping disorders. But it does not look like toxic encephalopathy either. People with encephalopathy do not walk and talk, they lie there and going deeper and deeper asleep.

'We also do not know what is the toxic agent, so the doctors cannot offer any particular treatment.

'At the same time we see that patients are getting better even with general therapy. It supports the idea of psychogenic nature.'

This would indicate that it stems from psychological or mental stresses. He suggests the the sleep disorder is could be a case of massive psychosis, something like 'Bin Laden itch' in the USA when people found rashes on their skin because they were scared of possible bacteriological attack.

'Something like this often happens in closed communities', he said.

Even if something over there is triggering this phenomena in some way, there still seems to be a strong psychological / mental element at play.
At least the people affected can be helped.

Hope the reality behind it is not like from a "B" sci-fi movie. People who fall asleep may have their DNA altered by some external force and the sex cravings are induced in purpose to spread a mutation, for instance. Sounds crazy but perhaps genetical analysis of the semen wouldn't be a bad idea.

Anyway, could be a good question for the Cs, i guess.

My first thought is that this is a weapon being tested. Maybe target individuals with various energy frequencies and study what happens to them.

For info - SOTT published two articles on this phenomenon some time ago. :)

SOTT now carries an article which states that carbon monoxide outgassing is the likely culprit:

http://www.sott.net/article/298895-Kazakhstan-sleeping-sickness-mystery-solved-Uranium-mine-is-the-culprit

A closed uranium mine was pinpointed as the culprit behind the outbreaks of a mysterious sleep-inducing disease that has plagued the residents of two villages in Kazakhstan since 2013.

"The cause of the disease... has been established. It's carbon monoxide," said Deputy Prime Minister Berdybek Saparbayev. "There used to be a uranium mine in the area, which is now closed. Occasionally it released carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon [sic, presumably methane] in high concentrations... That is when these 'sleepy disease' outbreaks happened."

Villagers at Kalachi and Krasnogorsky, which stand roughly 600 meters apart, started complaining about strange onsets of sleepiness, nausea and hallucinations in March 2013. Doctors had trouble diagnosing the disease that affected about one in 10 people.

The abandoned uranium mine was on the locals' radar ever since the disease came, although they thought radiation rather than toxic gas was the cause. RT's crew, when it was shooting a documentary about the mystery of the Kazakh 'Sleepy Hollow', did indeed find high levels of radiation near the mine, but not in Kalachi itself.

The conclusion of the Kazakh researchers was independently confirmed in Moscow and Prague, Saparbayev said. The local authorities decided to move both villages to a safer location. Krasnogorsky used to be a mining town with a population of 6,500, and had provided uranium ore for the Soviet nuclear industry since the 1960s. The town's population dwindled to 130 after the mine was closed in early 1990s. Kalachi has some 600 residents.

The saga continues and apparently the riddles still abound:

My first thought after watching this documentaries was that this is military experiment. But it occurs many times.

And official explanations doesn't convince me.

Even pets were not immune. Kalachi resident Yelena Zhavoronkova told the
newspaper Vremya that her cat Marquis suddenly “went stupid” on a Friday night and began meowing and attacking walls, furniture and the family dog.

“He fell asleep toward morning and snored like a human until lunchtime on Saturday. He didn’t react to anything, not even cat food,” Zhavoronkova said.
