Show Notes

Katy Roden is a small business owner from New Braunfels, TX who loves sports and outdoor adventures. She was diagnosed with narcolepsy type 1 with cataplexy at the age of 18. As a speaker with Project Sleep’s Rising Voices program, Katy shares her story to improve the public’s understanding of this neurological condition. She hopes everyone will come away from her presentation with a better understanding of this silent and often misunderstood disorder.

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 experiences through the Rising Voices program.
