My sleep doctor gave me this book on my first visit, he keeps several copies in his office. That on it's own states it must be a good book to read. I read this book in one night! There were so many things about Narcolepsy that I didn't know and what makes it easy, informative and sometimes funny to read are the stories written by a narcoleptic about being diagnosed, each step of acceptance, each main symptom and how she has continued living her life with this illness. Kinda outdated but very informative for newly diagnosed patients or even the family members so they can get an idea of what you are going through w/out them quizzing you everytime you talk to them!
