Show Notes

Rachel Miyazaki is a production coordinator and houseplant enthusiast originally from Hawai’i, now living in Seattle. She struggled with sleep disorders since childhood and is living with type 1 narcolepsy with cataplexy. Now, as a Rising Voices writer, she wants to advocate for fellow people with narcolepsy, especially students and employees. In this episode, Rachel reads her thoughtful and witty essay, “The Awakening,” followed by a Q&A. Read her essay here: http://www.bmpvoices.com/the-awakening

 

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.
