There are a lot of cool people in the world with narcolepsy or other types of chronic illness writing encouraging blogs. Since I am not the only one, I thought it would be helpful to share other blogs with those who found my blog and are interested in what else is out there. The blogs are listed below with a short description.
Wide Awake & Dreaming
Julie Flygare is the first person with narcolepsy that I learned about through the internet. She is the founder of Project Sleep, a non profit organization dedicated to provide sleep disorder help through raising awareness of sleep health and sleep conditions. She is also a leading narcolepsy spokesperson, published author of Wide Awake and Dreaming: A Memoir of Narcolepsy, and an awesome blogger. I am continually inspired by the work she does.
