Adriana's World Narcolepsy Day Story

Adriana Andreeva lives and works in Sofia, Bulgaria. Her daughter was diagnosed with narcolepsy type 1 at age 10, and their family’s experience drove Adriana to create the Bulgarian Association of Narcolepsy Patients. As a narcolepsy advocate and Rising Voices speaker, she is on a mission to raise awareness in her country to reduce delays to diagnosis and strengthen support for people with narcolepsy and their families.

To improve public understanding of narcolepsy, Project Sleep’s Rising Voices program trains people with narcolepsy and other sleep disorders 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 trained speakers and writers are effectively raising awareness and reducing stigma for all those facing sleep disorders.
