In this episode, we are joined by Chloe, who shares her compelling journey of balancing narcolepsy type 1 and obstructive sleep apnea while pursuing a career in optometry. From the thrill of quad biking to the challenges of everyday tasks like getting a haircut, this episode uncovers the rollercoaster ride of managing sleep disorders. From the comical to the challenging, we explore how everyday tasks like getting a haircut can become monumental experiences.
Our conversation ventures into the nuanced aspects of narcolepsy, such as vivid dreams, hallucinations, and the comforting role pets can play during uncertain times.
We share strategies for staying awake during important moments, like lectures, and the unique ways our pets help us navigate these challenges. Listen in as we tackle misconceptions head-on and reveal how narcolepsy has not only shaped our relationships and social interactions but has also become a significant part of who we are.
