I’m thrilled to share my guest blog post, “Notes on Narcolepsy: Part 3 – From the Patient’s Perspective,” on Psychology Today’s “The Land of Nod” Blog by Dr. Shelby Harris. Dr. Harris is a friend, a clinical psychologist and the Director of the Behavioral Sleep Medicine Program at Montefiore Medical Center. For this post, she asked me to describe my journey to diagnosis and the psychological effects of this process.

 I highly recommend Part 1 and Part 2 of “Notes on Narcolepsy” too! Thank you, Dr. Harris for raising awareness about narcolepsy – a condition that often goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for years.
