Unless she was: severely sleep deprived, "collapsing" into a "normal" sleep is not very typical. If she is not arousable, then there is more a likely a true problem.

Your question?: It is good that your sister is under the care of a doctor. You didn't really ask a question or give enough information for us to comment.

Can you wake her?: Does your sister wake up and talk to you when you call her or touch her? If not, call emergency services to bring her back to the hospital.
