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.
