From the Introduction
Narcolepsy is widely misrepresented — reduced in popular culture to a punchline while the people who live with it navigate excessive daytime sleepiness, cataplexy, and a world that has not been designed with them in mind. The writers in this collection set the record straight and then go further.

A note before you read

This book is a collection of personal, first-person testimonials offered as companion reading. It is not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider regarding any medical condition or decision.

About this volume

Inside this volume

Fifty people describe narcolepsy from first symptoms — often appearing in adolescence and frequently misdiagnosed for years — through the process of sleep study and formal diagnosis, the work of finding medication and lifestyle strategies that help, and the ongoing negotiation with employers, relationships, and a society that conflates tiredness with narcolepsy. Cataplexy, sleep paralysis, and hypnagogic hallucinations are addressed directly.

Who it's for

For those living with narcolepsy, those who suspect they might be, families trying to understand what is asked of someone with the condition, and employers who want context beyond a label.
