This week's episode is with Matthew Horsnell, a dedicated advocate and father of 3 with Type 1 Narcolepsy or Narcolepsy with Cataplexy. He is also a researcher and has co-authored 3 papers and is the lead author of 1 other! During our conversation, we talk about the changes Matthew has made to accommodate Type 1 Narcolepsy, the importance of legislative advocacy, how social media is affecting the portrayal of narcolepsy, and how we all can make a difference to raise awareness for narcolepsy and help raise government funding for sleep research. We also touch on his research on narcolepsy and how interested individuals can get involved with narcolepsy research!
