Show Notes

With sleep paralysis and hypnagogic and hypnopompic hallucinations, the lines between sleeping and waking can be blurred. In this episode, we talk with three incredible narcolepsy advocates about these underappreciated, often terrifying, and confusing symptoms and how to cope with them.
 

About Our Guests:

Chelsea Cataldi is a world traveler who enjoys creating things with her hands. She was diagnosed with type 1 narcolepsy with cataplexy in 2010 while living in Japan. As a speaker with Project Sleep’s Rising Voices program, Chelsea raises awareness to combat misperceptions about narcolepsy and let others know they’re not alone.

 

Kistyn Beecher is a storyteller and news producer from Houston, Texas. She was diagnosed with type 2 narcolepsy without cataplexy at age 24, but lived with symptoms for many years before that. A graduate of Hampton University and Rising Voices speaker, Kristyn works daily to make sure underrepresented voices are heard and their stories shared.

 

Connor Baker is a CDU nurse working at Rush Copley Medical Center in Aurora, Illinois. He was diagnosed with type 1 narcolepsy with cataplexy at 20 years old. Connor shares his story as a Rising Voices speaker to spread awareness and end stigmas surrounding narcolepsy.
