About Brittany:

Brittany Matthews is a Texas girl living in a Chicago world with a Bachelor of Science degree in Communication Disorders from the University of Houston. She learned she had type 1 narcolepsy with cataplexy at the age of 19 after more than 12 years of struggling with mysterious symptoms. As a trained speaker with Project Sleep’s Rising Voices of Narcolepsy program, Brittany shares her story to health care professionals and the general public to shed light on the reality of living with this challenging and misunderstood condition.

About Rising Voices of Narcolepsy:

To improve public understanding of narcolepsy, Project Sleep’s Rising Voices of Narcolepsy program trains people with narcolepsy to share their stories through public speaking and writing with local communities, healthcare providers, news outlets, blogs and beyond. Combining the power of real-life stories with expert communication strategies, our Rising Voices of Narcolepsy trained speakers and writers are effectively raising awareness and reducing stigma for all those facing narcolepsy.
