Flygare’s Journey with Narcolepsy

In this ABC News Live segment, Flygare shared about battling invisible sleepiness that she misinterpreted as a “willpower” problem for years before receiving a narcolepsy diagnosis at age 24. She also spoke about the mental health challenges of facing an undiagnosed sleep disorder and how finding a diagnosis helped her find social support.
