Countries Reached
Together, our participants raised $6,110. Funds raised will provide critical support for Project Sleep’s current programming (including the Jack & Julie Narcolepsy Scholarship, Sleep Walk series, and NARCOLEPSY: NOT ALONE™ campaign) and help expand future efforts to reach people affected by sleep disorders and other barriers to sleep health.
We have some highlights to share and people to thank!

Friday’s InstaSleepIn kicked things off with participants sharing photos of themselves (and their pets) getting ready for bed.

On Sunday, Julie Flygare and Ciro DiRuocco hosted a special live broadcast from Ireland for SLEEP IN participants via Google Hangout.
