Twitter’s iPhone App being down all day has been remarkable for my mental health.
The world is still on fire, but I don’t see the folks actively throwing accelerant on the fire.

Narcolepsy (narcolepsie coined by Jean-Baptiste Édouard Gélineau) has been around long enough that facial hair like this was in style.

Narcolepsy (narcolepsie coined by Jean-Baptiste Édouard Gélineau) has been around long enough that facial hair like this was in style.
Descriptions of narcolepsy first in 1877 and the term “narcolepsie” was coined by Jean-Baptiste Édouard Gélineau in 1880.
Evidence suggests most cases of NT1 (with cataplexy) are autoimmune disorders not “injuries.”

This is bad for so many reasons.
People with chronic and rare conditions struggle to pay for meds already.
Some products require an ex-US supply chain. Others can adapt, but it will take time.
Patients will suffer.

Just watched the Tar Heels cruise to a victory against Campbell.
Pops (c/o 71), brother, and I were gifted the trip by my partner/wife/bestie/camerawoman.
These hajj moments in Chapel Hill are memories I’ll cherish forever.

Earlier this year I got a chance to meet an icon amongst #SleepPeeps:
Watson Mignot (DWN)
In groundbreaking work with Dobermans, Watson’s dad—Dr. Emmanuel Mignot—connected orexin/hypocretin and narcolepsy (NT1).
Dr. Mignot has encouraged and supported my advocacy, but Watson has my heart.

My Poppie, Thomas Guschke, enlisted as a Navy “Fighting Seabees” at age 16.
During WWII he served in the Pacific Rim, by risking his life to set up military bases. “A rifle in one hand, shovel in the other.”
Poppie inspired by advocacy as a tireless champion
Veterans deserve better.

Two weeks ago, the Dream Team from Project Sleep pushed our legislative advocacy agenda for sleep and sleep disorders.
We championed efforts including: NIH sleep increases and across the board; inclusion in PRMRP; and the SLEEP Act, a CDC effort.
It’s harder now, but we won’t stop.

A month ago I had the honor of presenting my Project Sleep Rising Voices presentation for @carleara.bsky.social The University at Buffalo class.
This was my 2nd yr presenting to her class and I hope it’s the beginning of a LONG streak.
Long overdue in acknowledging one of my favorite SleepPeeps!
