When Lindsay Scola first told a doctor that she was having problems with sleep, her doctor replied that, "busy people are tired." This became something of a badge of honor for Lindsay as she pursued an ambitious career in activism and entertainment over the next 15 years, until finally her challenges with sleep became debilitating. She was finally diagnosed with narcolepsy at the age of 35 and is now on a mission to make sleep health and sleep equity a reality for all.
Tune in to today's episode to learn how to tell if you might be dealing with disordered sleep, and how this kind of chronic illness is an often-overlooked element of equity and inclusion in the workplace.
