Who Can Become an Ambassador?

• People living with narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia (IH)
• Supporters and loved ones of people with narcolepsy or IH
• Sleep clinicians and researchers
• Other narcolepsy community members

What Do Ambassadors Do?

We believe that global awareness begins with local awareness! This is why each Ambassador plays a key role in helping to elevate narcolepsy awareness to new heights. During the month of September, leading up to World Narcolepsy Day on Sept. 22, 2021, World Narcolepsy Day Ambassadors will be leaders in spreading the word in their local communities. No two people's contributions will be the same, but activities may include:

• Raising awareness in your school, workplace, or communities 
• Sharing your story via your customizable Ambassador Page 
• Challenging friends to raise awareness or donate
• Contacting local media and sleep centers
• Participating in events and activities 
• Joining a community of fellow narcolepsy advocates 

What is World Narcolepsy Day?

World Narcolepsy Day 2021 (Sept. 22, 2021) is a day dedicated to raising awareness of narcolepsy on a global scale. Co-led by 27 patient advocacy organizations across 6 continents, World Narcolepsy Day unites the international narcolepsy community to inspire action, increase public knowledge, and elevate the voices of the 3 million people living with narcolepsy worldwide. Together, we can reduce delays in narcolepsy diagnosis, reduce stigma and improve outcomes. Get involved and use the hashtag #WorldNarcolepsyDay.
