Friends + Family + Narcolepsy - Narcolepsy Nerd Alert Series Ep. 5

How can I get my friends and family to understand narcolepsy? It can be hard to know how to explain narcolepsy and ask for help. And even the most thoughtful friends and family members may not be sure how best to support the person with narcolepsy’s experience. We’ve enlisted two amazing narcolepsy advocates and dear friends, Lauren Thomas and Anne Taylor, to discuss this important topic.

About Our Guests:

Lauren Thomas is a person living with narcolepsy with cataplexy. She was diagnosed in 2019 after a long journey with misdiagnosed sleepiness.

Anne Taylor is a nurse and mother of a daughter living with narcolepsy. Anne also serves on the Board of Directors for Project Sleep.
