Thanks to your wonderful questions, our expert panel covered everything from important narcolepsy treatment advances to how other dogs react when Watson has cataplexy.

Watson Joins Narcolepsy: Not Alone Campaign:

Project Sleep was thrilled to give Watson some special Narcolepsy: Not Alone gear designed especially for him! Narcolepsy: Not Alone is Project Sleep’s social-media driven campaign and photo series raising awareness of narcolepsy around the world, including photos from all 50 U.S. states and 48 countries around the world!

Of course, we had a lot of fun taking photos with Watson!

Next FB Live from AUSTRALIA:

This kicked off Project Sleep’s new Facebook Live monthly series. Please save the date for next month’s FB Live broadcasting from AUSTRALIA on Saturday, October 13th at 9:00 p.m. ET! We will talk about the international experience of living with narcolepsy with a few amazing Australian narcolepsy community members who are leading efforts to improve treatment options and raise critical awareness.

Special thanks to Paul, Briana, Watson and Dr. Mignot for all your support in making this event such a success and this day so meaningful for our community!
