Part of Wake Up Narcolepsy’s mission is providing supportive resources for people with Narcolepsy and their families. Below is a preview of the supportive resources we offer.
We often hear from our community about the challenges of explaining narcolepsy to others. Narcolepsy 101 is a series WUN created to easily share. So that hard work of explaining is in our hands and not yours!
WUN offers free, targeted online support groups to individuals with narcolepsy and their families, world-wide. Our programs are designed to bring together individuals who have been affected by the diagnosis of narcolepsy and provide the support and community necessary to thrive.
Young Adults with Narcolepsy group addresses issues people with narcolepsy face between the ages of 18-30. Covering issues such as college and study habits, career options, driving, relationships, diet and sleep hygiene this group is led by an experienced educator who has narcolepsy and is also a college professor.
Parenting & Pregnancy with Narcolepsy group is a drop-in style – support for any parent, soon to be, or thinking about it. The group offers weekly support based on participants needs as they arise while navigating parenting and pregnancy with narcolepsy.
Led by people directly affected by the condition, this is an ideal group to bring your current concerns and challenges.
The Living with Narcolepsy group is an open drop-in for adults affected by narcolepsy. The group offers weekly support based on participants needs as they arise while navigating life with narcolepsy.
Led by people directly affected by the condition, this is an ideal group to bring your current concerns and challenges. While the focus is towards PWN, care-givers, parents and spouses are also warmly invited to participate within the peer to peer platform.
WUN offers one day conferences for PWN, their families, educators, clinicians and researchers. Leading experts will be sharing their latest research on treatment options, impact of narcolepsy, comorbidity and how to live a full life with narcolepsy.
Wake Up Narcolepsy is currently planning out 2020’s locations and we will update once the locations are finalized.

Every person diagnosed with narcolepsy embarks on a unique journey. There is no standard path, and for many, this proves to be among the most challenging aspects of the disorder.
The Narcolepsy 360 podcasts are a series of interviews that take a panoramic view of narcolepsy from the patient, care-giver, research and clinical perspective. Each conversation draws on experiences, best practices and expert advice from patients, parents and doctors. From latest research to life-style tips, our podcasts shed light on the less discussed issues around narcolepsy.
Join Claire Crisp, our Executive Director, as she chats every week with people within our community.
For Sleep Week 2019 we launched an awareness campaign about PWNs. We wanted to celebrate all that encompasses PWNs.
Brene Brown, a research professor and author says, “Be You. Be Seen. Belong.” Inspired by her words we asked PWNs to tell us what it means to #beyou.
Below are the submissions we received for #BeYouWakeUp.
