Wake Up Narcolepsy 2026 National Summit
This no-cost, one-day hybrid summit in Chicago, Illinois, is for people with Narcolepsy (or Idiopathic Hypersomnia), their families, educators, clinicians, researchers and those just looking to learn more. Leading experts, such as Dr. Bruce Corser, Dr. Christopher J. Allen, Dr. Nicole Eugene & Dr. Alicia Roth, and community members will share about the latest research and treatment options, impact of Narcolepsy, managing mental health, advocating for yourself and how to live a full life with Narcolepsy.
This is a unique opportunity to make connections with others living with Narcolepsy, mingle with sleep professionals and get to know WUN better. The summit format offers an interesting mix of individual speakers, panels and support groups.
On Saturday, coffee, continental breakfast, lunch, snacks and day of parking are all included for no cost. If you are planning on staying on property, please use this link to book your room at the Hyatt at the special discounted rate!
