"The Sleep-Apocalypse is taking over" - Niki Kleinheider

We need your help. 150,000 Americans are affected with narcolepsy and thousands go on with life without being diagnosed or treated in any way.

No matter how much sleep that person gets the night before, they normally don't sleep well and have major daytime drowsiness and uncontrollable sleep episodes.

There is NO CURE but with your help, people with this neurological disorder can have their symptoms controlled with medication and therapy.
