Reddit mentions of Sleepyhead: The Neuroscience of a Good Night's Rest

I appreciate and share your enthusiasm for outreach and awareness! PM me if you want to talk more about this, I too have been trying to do more outreach with the community offline.

There are a few organizations for Narcolepsy awareness that I'm sure would appreciate the volunteers. A lot of organizations are funded by pharmaceutical companies though, if that turns you off, I really suggest doing some digging on these orgs. For example, the MoreThanTired campaign recently caught my eye, and then I realized it was funded by Jazz Pharma lol. Next!

Project Sleep is run by a Type 1 Narcoleptic who has done a lot out outreach. I suggest you look into what they have available.

Other than that, try looking on Meetup.com for a narcolepsy support group in your area. There is usually at least one in every major city, maybe you can attend and organize some sort of local outreach with the help of fellow narcoleptics in your area!

Instagram is a great way to spread awareness. There are a few Narcoleptic Instagrammers I follow and I myself try to post semi-frequently about my N in order to raise what awareness I can. Consider using social media to post memes, awareness, etc.

You can also channel your personal passions into advocacy. Like exercising? Run a 5k for Narcolepsy research and ask your loved ones to sponsor you! Tech/graphic design? Make cool gifs and graphs about Narcolepsy, post them everywhere! Art? Draw your experiences with N, get creative and submit to competitions and galleries. Writer? Write a book! There aren't enough books about Narcolepsy. We need way more things like this.
