Show Notes

Matthew Horsnell is a father of three, amateur strength athlete, and science nerd who incorporates invertebrate fossils into rock sculptures. Matt calls Nashville, TN, home. He was diagnosed with type 1 narcolepsy with cataplexy in 2007 and now, as a trained speaker with Project Sleep’s Rising Voices leadership program, aims to raise awareness about narcolepsy and sleep.

 

The Rising Voices Series features a variety of first-hand stories from people living with sleep disorders around the world. At Project Sleep, we believe in the power of storytelling to raise awareness and break down stigma. This is why we train people with sleep disorders on how to share their stories through the Rising Voices training program.
