Lisa's Story Part I: I Have Narcolepsy | Rising Voices of Narcolepsy Speaker Series

At age 11, sleepiness started interfering in Lisa's school life. Laughter began turning her body into jelly and the "Shadow Man" visited at night.

This is a real-life example of a person developing type 1 narcolepsy with cataplexy at a child and young teenager, and how she interpreted the symptoms.

ABOUT LISA: Lisa is a producer, student of political sciences and technology enthusiast from London, UK. As a trained speaker with Project Sleep's Rising Voices of Narcolepsy program, Lisa is sharing her story to raise awareness of what it’s really like to live with this chronic neurological condition.

RISING VOICES OF NARCOLEPSY is a leadership training program of the non-profit Project Sleep, aiming to raise awareness about narcolepsy while also empowering a new generation of patient advocates sharing their stories via writing and speaking.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO SERIES: While our trained speakers are delivering educational 20-minute presentations in-person to audiences across the U.S. and internationally, we brought a few speakers together to record their presentations for this video series, so that their stories can reach more people around the world.

SHARE THESE VIDEOS to raise critical awareness.
