Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder characterized by overwhelming daytime drowsiness and sudden attacks of sleep. People with narcolepsy often find it difficult to stay awake for long periods of time, regardless of the circumstances. Narcolepsy can cause serious disruptions in your daily routine. Our guest today is Lindsey who will discuss her life with narcolepsy. Lindsey grew up in Charlotte NC and is currently residing nearby in Belmont, NC with her husband and dog. She was diagnosed in May of 2019 after dealing with symptoms since childhood. She was previously misdiagnosed and had doctors dismiss her sleepiness for being a normal teenager or college student. She continued to press doctors for answers and finally received a diagnosis and began treatment less than a year ago. She is now trying to speak out an advocate so that others do not have to have the same long path to diagnosis she did.
We have talked extensively about Type 1 and Type 2 narcolepsy on the podcast, but what about its mysterious cousin idiopathic hypersomnia (IH)? What is IH and why is it so hard to diagnose? What is its relationship with narcolepsy, and how do we treat it? In this episode we will:Define idiopathic hypersomniaLook at its incidence rate next to narcolepsyList the key characteristics that differentiate it from narcolepsyLearn the factors that make it difficult to diagnoseHighlight the first FDA-approved treatment for the disorderProduced by: Maeve WinterMore Twitter: @drchriswinter IG: @drchriwinter Threads: @drchriswinter Bluesky: @drchriswinter The Sleep Solution and The Rested Child Thanks for listening and sleep well!

I am joined in this exploration of narcolepsy by Julie Flygare, an internationally recognized patient-perspective leader, and an accomplished advocate, to discuss her patient perspective of the disease as narrated in her award-winning memoir, Wide Wake and Dreaming. Julie has advanced her leadership in the sleep and healthcare space through speaking engagements, publications, earned media, collaborations, and advocacy and awareness initiatives. Our conversation explored Julie's onset of narcolepsy with excessive sleepiness long before she was diagnosed with narcolepsy after she developed cataplexy. She discussed her on-going struggles with the diverse symptoms of the disease, as well as here validating investigations, and indispensable medical treatments. Our conversation also covered what her diagnosis has taught her regarding prioritising time and appreciating the moment. Prior to accepting her current role as President & CEO of Project Sleep, Julie Flygare served as President of Project Sleep's Board of Directors, while also gaining invaluable experience in marketing and philanthropy at the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network and City of Hope. Julie served on the National Institutes of Health's Sleep Disorders Research Advisory Board from 2012 – 2015, and she delivered the TEDx Talk, “What Can You Learn from a Professional Dreamer? on March 22, 2022,
In this episode, I explore the curious sleep disorder narcolepsy. With apt patient memoirs, I describe its clinical manifestations, from sleep attacks and cataplexy, to sleep paralysis and sleep-related hallucinations. I also review its association with other sleep disorders, and its non-sleep related manifestations. The podcast also discusses the genetic and acquired causes of narcolepsy, its association with hypocretin deficiency, and its risk factors. I also explore the investigations of narcolepsy, such as multiple sleep latency test, and its treatments, such as modafinil and sodium oxybate. I also discussed the history of narcolepsy, such as anecdotes its discovery by Jean-Baptiste Édouard Gélineau. I also narrate the history of how sleep researcher Eugene Aserinsky discovered the two sleep phases, REM and non-REM. To illustrate the lived experience of narcolepsy, I cite such insightful patient memoirs as that of Corrina Wetzel titled The Journey Beneath Her Heavy Feet, by Henry Nicholls titled Sleepyhead, and of Claire Crisp titled Waking Mathilda. To support the historical themes, I cite such works as When Brains Dream, by Antonio Zadra and Robert Stickgold, and A Portrait of the Brain by Adam Zeman.

What makes Third Eye Blind a standout band from the 90s era? Join Matt and Samer as we reminisce about the unforgettable impact of their music, exploring why their debut album remains a top contender among the best of its time. Alongside Samer's all-time favorite track, "Narcolepsy," we weave tales from the band's history, spotlighting Stephen Jenkins as the constant force behind their evolving sound. Venture into the deeper, sometimes darker, corners of Third Eye Blind's discography with us as we shine a light on their second album, "Blue." With tracks like "Never Let You Go" and "Wounded," the band masterfully intertwines upbeat melodies with poignant themes of heartbreak and recovery. We explore how their innovative use of spoken word elements paved the way for future bands, such as Imagine Dragons, to tackle heavy topics while maintaining a captivating alt-rock vibe. The journey doesn't stop there. As we move through the band's later albums, from "Ursa Major" to "Dopamine," we witness their artistic growth and adaptability. The band's storytelling matures with each album, capturing deeper narratives and personal themes, like the rumored breakup with Charlize Theron in "Say It." From the ethereal vibes of "We Are Drugs" to the empowering sounds of "Screamer," featuring Alexis Krauss, Third Eye Blind shows us why they remain a relevant force in today's music scene. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1MHiQQ9ySBy9tykI4Uvs2m?si=4a726dc99adf4856https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/super-awesome-intro-to-third-eye-blind/pl.u-d2b0MoltLKN0YEA1.

Matt returns this week to unpack the complexities of narcolepsy, a neurological sleep disorder often misunderstood and misdiagnosed. He starts by defining narcolepsy, explaining its profound impact on brain and body functioning and its chronic nature, which often diminishes patients' quality of life. Narcolepsy affects about 1 in every 2,000 people, yet most go undiagnosed due to limited awareness and medical training on sleep disorders. With a closer look at the causes, Matt explores how the brain's sleep-wake regulator, orexin, malfunctions in those with narcolepsy, disrupting their sleep cycles and resulting in excessive daytime sleepiness and sleep "attacks."Delving into symptoms, Matt highlights narcolepsy's hallmark indicators, such as cataplexy—a sudden loss of muscle tone triggered by strong emotions—and frequent REM sleep disruptions that can lead to vivid hallucinations upon sleep onset. The episode covers diagnostic tools, from sleep studies to brain chemical tests, which help identify the condition. While there is currently no cure, Matt discusses various treatment options, from alertness-enhancing medications to emerging research and therapies. This episode calls for greater compassion and support for those with narcolepsy, emphasizing the importance of awareness and education in managing this life-altering disorder.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.One of today's sponsors, 23andMe, provides genetic insights into health and sleep, and Matt, who has used it for eight years to understand genetic risks, is impressed by their sleep-focused data.

Welcome to this special episode of the NeurologyLive® Mind Moments® podcast. Tune in to hear leaders in neurology sound off on topics that impact your clinical practice. For major FDA decisions in the field of neurology, we release short special episodes to offer a snapshot of the news, including the main takeaways for the clinical community, as well as highlights of the efficacy and safety profile of the agent in question. In this episode, we cover the recent approval of Avadel's sodium oxybate formulation (Lumryz) as a treatment for pediatric patients with narcolepsy aged 7 years and older. The new indication expands on its previous one, granted in May 2023, which included the the treatment of cataplexy or excessive daytime sleepiness in adults with narcolepsy. It's initial approval was based on data from the phase 3 REST-ON trial (NCT02720744), a large-scale study in which the therapy met all 3 of its primary end points of change from baseline in mean sleep latency on the Maintenance of Wakefulness test, Clinical Global Impression Improvement, and weekly cataplexy attacks. Following its new indication, NeurologyLive sat down with Anne Marie Morse, DO, FAASM, a pediatric sleep disorders expert, to discuss the significance of the new approval. Morse, director of Child Neurology and Pediatric Sleep Medicine at Geisinger Janet Weis Children's Hospital as well as the program director for Child Neurology Residency Program, provided commentary on the clinical considerations behind this once-nightly formulation of sodium oxybate, and how it should be used going forward.

Capture Inspired Moments and Finally Finish Your Book Welcome back Michelle Weger with our second podcast in a row with her! In the previous episode, we celebrated the release of her new book, Don't Snooze Your Dreams: Lessons from Life with Narcolepsy. Now, we're going to talk about how Michelle was able to write her book so quickly and even managed to get it published ahead of schedule.

Keep Moving Forward Michelle managed to finish her book in record time of under a year of writing, and it was published five days ahead of schedule. She achieved this feat by disregarding habits we've grown to expect from authors. Instead of continuously sitting at a desk day after day, hoping she'd be inspired until the last word was written, she took a completely different approach. Listen in for the various ways she turned traditional writing on its head and created a book that is so conversational and comfortable that one reader described it as talking with a friend over a latte. One Book Written With A Much Bigger Picture In Mind Michelle's reasons for writing this book are incredible and inspiring. She wants to help others achieve their dreams with her DREAM method, but she also wants to help others like her be diagnosed as quickly as possible by spreading awareness of her journey from not knowing what was wrong to her diagnosis. You won't believe how big she is thinking when it comes to how she'd like her book distributed and who she would love to help her realize her dream. I've loved having Michelle on the show for these two episodes! If you're currently stuck writing your book or have always wanted to write a book, then this episode is your inspiration.

I got to sit down with neurodivergent artist April Livingston from the US. We explored the phenomenon of getting stuck in movie plots, materials and tasks: The Synaesthesia Eddy! Is this something you experience too and what are your thoughts? Is this a synaesthesia thing, or maybe rather visual or cross-modal echolalia, a matter of hyperfocus? We can't hear your thoughts! Reach out via Instagram @maikepreissing or @terracurio or via management@maikepreissing.com. We also got to speak about Narcolepsy! Another condition, surprisingly closely linked to Neurodiversity. Thank you April for sharing your perspective and for raising awareness! Psychological Neurodiversity Coaching: www.maikepreissing.com

This is episode 2 of a 6-part special series on sleep with Dr. Matthew Walker, Ph.D., a professor of neuroscience and psychology and founder of the Center for Human Sleep Science at the University of California, Berkeley. We discuss basic and advanced tools for improving sleep and explain how sleep quality is affected by temperature, light and dark, caffeine, alcohol, cannabis, nutrition, meal timing, and different medications. Dr. Walker also provides strategies for coping with a poor night of sleep, wind-down routines, technology in the bedroom, insomnia, visualizations, and building sleep “confidence.” We also discuss the current status of sleep research for developing advanced techniques to optimize sleep. This episode provides numerous zero-cost behavioral protocols for improving sleep quality and restorative power, which can benefit daytime mood, energy, performance, and overall health. The next episode in this special series explores napping, caffeine, and additional protocols to improve sleep.

[Thanks — again — to attorney Corbin Payne for helping us answer this one!] Narcolepsy hasn't prevented you from achieving superior performance ratings while working from home, but now your job is pushing for a return to the office.

Welcome to a brand new episode of the Inner Edison Podcast, where we dive into the mind of creativity and passion. I'm your host, Ed Parcaut, and today we're joined by a very special guest, Dick Wybrow, a writer with an extraordinary journey. In this episode, titled "Harnessing Passion and Authenticity," Dick shares his transformational experience organizing a homeless survivor event, a move that brought humanity and empathy to the forefront for both the participants and the audience. Dick reflects on his career, his initial hesitation in pursuing writing full-time due to financial responsibilities, and the resultant regret of making choices emotionally rather than objectively. He generously offers advice to budding writers, emphasizing consistency and dedication to their craft. As we journey through Dick's past, from typing on an Apple IIe to the ardent writing sessions at 4:00 a.m., we'll understand his undeniable passion for storytelling. Despite long hours and challenges like narcolepsy, Dick's unwavering commitment to his writing led to a successful book series and an engaging conversation on the value of authenticity in reaching audiences. Dick's provocative past in rock radio, where controversy wasn't a stranger – he'll share his experience with a stunt that led to death threats yet an unexpected endorsement. Join us as we explore the intimacy of radio and podcasting, the craft of storytelling, and finding success by staying true to oneself. From "Cain," his take on the werewolf legend, to finding solutions in sleep, this is an episode that connects the dots between inner drive, creative expression, and the human touch in communication. Get ready for a thought-provoking discussion on life lessons, the evolving world of media, and the simple yet profound relief found in the elbow on the back.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Anonymous: Hi, dr. C. I live in Europe so it's difficult to get your DNS powder because of expensive shipping.. so my smoothies are full of berries, apples, bananas, avocado, steamed/cooked veggies (peas, broccoli, carrot, etc.) and herbs and spices.. I don't add any extra protein powders, hopefully the veggies, especially peas provide enough? But lately I've been more into oatmeal with blueberries & raspberries, a mashed banana, some bee pollen and a steamed apple.. sometimes some papaya gets in there too.. then I add A LOT of hemp seeds, probably at least 3 heaping tablespoons of it - is that too much & is it enough in terms of protein intake? I have a huge bowl of it, mostly it's the fruit and hempseeds with just a little bit of oatmeal.. But I don't think that breakfast keeps me full for long (neither does the smoothie) and after I get hungry, it's so fast that I start shaking & need to eat something straight away.. I even got hot flashes and dizzy two weeks ago instead of just getting hungry.. What am I doing wrong and how would you correct it? I guess it also has something to do with me not eating breakfast soon after I wake up? I drink a litre of lemon water (is that too much ?) and then do some tinctures so it takes me a while before I get to eat breakfast.. Thank you so much for your help, have a great day Anonymous: Hello… I've been listening to your podcasts and wondering, what is the best way to eat fruit and when? I find it a bit confusing… Should it be before anything else or does that spike your blood sugar? If protein should be a part of every meal, but fruit eaten on its own… doesn't make sense? In a smoothie it can be mixed with everything else, but what if you just enjoy eating a lot of fruit on its own? What time of the day, when, considering other meals, etc..? Thank you Alexandra: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm an IHP Level 2 and very grateful for all the work you've done and the information you've provided. I've had a lot of equilife lab testing done. I've come back high in heavy metals - mercury (0.110) and aluminum (0.79). I've gone through a heavy metal detox and am actively continuing to detox through sauna and Epsom salt baths. My concern is that I'm a 28 y.o. female and have very bad pelvic pain that used to occur only before menstruation. It now occurs at other times of the month and has become quite limiting. I've been referred to a GYN surgeon who would like me to have exploratory surgery to address possible endometriosis. I know there must be another natural way to address the root cause of this. I prefer to avoid surgery. I would love any recommendations you have. Colleen: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions. Every time you do, it helps me in some way no matter the subject, and I'm sure the same is true for many others as well. I had a question about walking after a meal. If someone has weak digestion, would it be better to walk after eating or to rest and let the blood flow to the stomach? I'd think it'd be best to rest, but everywhere I turn, it seems the advice is that the best thing to do is walk after a meal to help with digestion. If so, how long should someone wait after a meal to go for a walk without getting out of the relaxed PNS state. (On ep. 1639 you mentioned 10-20 mins after a meal, just checking if that still applies if you have very weak digestion). Thank you again, hope this makes sense. Ali: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am currently in the process of becoming IHP level 1 & 2 certified and am so grateful for all the resources and education you provide through these courses. After learning about all the conditions and disorders we are able to help with diet, nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle changes, I was wondering if you have done any research on Narcolepsy and natural alternatives that could help. I am 25 years old and was diagnosed with Narcolepsy when I was 20. I am on the highest dosage of stimulants you can be just to get through the day feeling 'normal'. I am terrified of the long term effects this will have myself and others with Narcolepsy. Thanks in advance for even answering this question, have a wonderful rest of your week!

Just discovering that that was creating some of the frustration was a big help. Emotions are a reaction to either what I'm generating or somebody else's. Now, if I can go back to the source and take a look at the thing that is causing that thing. That helps me deal with the emotions. One shouldn't lead to the other. There's mess and stuff in the way. Emotions will cloud you and prevent you from making proper judgments. So I try to use mindfulness to take a look and see what is causing this in me right now. How can I calm this and work out this problem? This helps me not only to solve the problem, but the emotion dissipates. Thoughts On Breathing Somewhere along the way, I broke my brain. I used to be able to meditate a bit, but I don't do that as well anymore. So my version of meditation is to go into a dark room. I lie down in the dark and count my breathing, five in, six out. But one thing I do is I look at the inside of my eyelids and I know how goofy that sounds. But for a while, as I do that, my mind's racing and racing, but I focus on it for a minute or two. I start to see shapes, and I focus on those shapes. And sincerely, this works for me. I started to see the ridges of the shapes and more definitions, and eventually, I found myself seeing these visual expressions. That's my version of meditation right now. Just count my breaths and become calm that way. Just focusing on some of these lights that start to come up in the brain, and that gets me centered. And I do that for about 20 to 25 minutes and I'm right as rain. Bullying Story I grew up as a chubby kid with a Canadian accent in New Jersey, often becoming a target for others. This experience made me shy but also taught me the power of humor as a defense mechanism. Working in television for two decades, I encountered bullying from high-profile personalities. I've learned that most of this aggression stems from their insecurities rather than genuine criticism. Instead of getting defensive, I try to understand their perspective, realizing they're often expressing their own anxieties. By doing so, I not only ease my own anxiety but also help them by adapting to their concerns. It's a challenging process but one that brings understanding and resolution amidst the chaos of television's high-pressure environment.
