:04:40. > :04:50.Three o'clock in the afternoon and Harry Appleton is still asleep.

:04:51. > :04:54.He went to bed at 10 o'clock last night but can't be roused.

:04:55. > :05:02.Whatever his condition is, it first appeared almost two years ago.

:05:03. > :05:04.We thought it was something like a virus.

:05:05. > :05:07.However, it continued on for six or seven weeks.

:05:08. > :05:10.Then, all of a sudden, he just sort of sprung out

:05:11. > :05:13.of that bout of it but, since then, it's continued on.

:05:14. > :05:16.We've had three more episodes and, this time, it is getting

:05:17. > :05:32.After 18 hours of sleep, Harry has no memory of his family

:05:42. > :05:44.I want to see my friends again and everything but,

:06:07. > :06:11.to fall into deep sleeps - in his case, lasting days.

:06:12. > :06:19.When he woke, he would be irritable or disorientated.

:06:20. > :06:22.He was eventually diagnosed with Kleine?Levin syndrome -

:06:35. > :06:39.Despite visits to the GP and a stay in hospital,

:06:40. > :06:43.whatever causes Harry to sleep hasn't been diagnosed.

:06:44. > :06:46.If we can find out what it is, we can then actually get Harry

:06:47. > :06:51.Whether there's something we can do about it or not,

:06:52. > :06:55.that's going to be part of the first hurdle, if you like.

:06:56. > :06:57.He's now been referred to Sheffield Children's Hospital.

:06:58. > :07:04.Tom Ingall, BBC Look North, Chesterfield.

:07:05. > :07:07.Sheffield United fans will have to wait until the weekend

:07:08. > :07:11.to have another chance to see their team promoted.

:07:12. > :07:13.Despite winning tonight at home to Coventry,

:07:14. > :07:17.their rivals for promotion, Fleetwood Town, also won.

:07:18. > :07:20.That means the Blades will go to Northampton Town on Saturday

:07:21. > :07:22.to see whether they can clinch their place

:07:23. > :07:28.United did their job tonight, Leon Clarke

:07:29. > :07:32.They beat Coventry 2-0 and they should, really.

:07:33. > :07:35.United top of the league, Coventry bottom of the league.

:07:36. > :07:38.But they didn't get promoted the night because Fleetwood Town,

:07:39. > :07:41.who were playing Oxford United, won 3-0 as well.

:07:42. > :07:44.There are 13 points between the two teams now and there are 15

:07:45. > :07:48.The fans we spoke to coming out of the ground,

:07:49. > :07:50.there's a few of them, say promotion, although it didn't

:07:51. > :08:01.Bit of a disappointing start, but good in the end.

:08:02. > :08:04.Not bad but it will be Saturday myself, hopefully anyway.

:08:05. > :08:08.What does it mean if they do get promoted on Saturday,

:08:09. > :08:14.Relief after all these years, really, so I can't wait.

:08:15. > :08:17.So United fans will have to wait until the Northampton

:08:18. > :08:20.game on Saturday to see whether they'll be promoted.

:08:21. > :08:23.That game is being played away at Northampton but they are having

:08:24. > :08:27.They are going to show it at Bramall Lane for fans

:08:28. > :08:31.And, of course, even if they do get promoted on the weekend,

:08:32. > :08:34.they've still got a title fight with Bolton to see who will actually

:08:35. > :08:39.Sheffield United have been in League 1 for six years now, they've been

:08:40. > :08:40.out of the Premier League for ten years.

:08:41. > :08:43.It will mean a great deal to this club if they can get back

:08:44. > :08:47.into the second tier of English football and have a shout at getting

:08:48. > :08:53.back to where their fans think they should be.

:08:54. > :08:55.And a good night for Huddersfield Town in the Championship.

:09:13. > :09:16.Aaron Mooy made it 2-0 with a low shot that beat Michael McGovern
