Karolina Olsson (29 October 1861 – 5 April 1950), also known as "Soverskan på Oknö" ("The Sleeper of Oknö"), was a Swedish woman who purportedly remained in hibernation between 1876 and 1908 (32 years).[1] This is believed to be the longest time that anyone has lived in this manner who then awoke without any residual symptoms.[2][3]
