An American woman went to sleep one night and woke up with a British accent.

Michelle Myers has never left the US but has woken up with Irish and Australian accents in the past.

The mother of seven, who lives in Arizona, has been diagnosed with Foreign Accent Syndrome.

Each time it's happened, Michelle had gone to bed with a blinding headache. The Irish and Australian accents lasted for about a week, but she has the British accent ever since she woke up with it two years ago.

Foreign Accent Syndrome is an extremely rare medical condition which usually results from a stroke, head trauma or migraines.
