These three doctors are all living with narcolepsy, a chronic neurological condition that is often misunderstood by the public and the media. From diagnosis and treatment to med school and practicing medicine, these amazing individuals open up about their experiences wearing the hats of both physician and patient.

We had a LOT of questions for our doctors with narcolepsy, and we're so grateful for their candid responses and inspiring reflections on:

Becoming a doctor: diagnosis, med school, and turning points
Being a doctor: management tips, sharing their diagnosis with coworkers and patients
Raising awareness of narcolepsy, sleep disorders and sleep health
Being a doctor during COVID19
Advice for future doctors with narcolepsy
