Lessons Learned from a Narcolepsy Support Group

As a sleep physician for a military treatment facility our patient population consists of roughly forty thousand soldiers and beneficiaries. Of which we primarily care for an adult population. Part of my experience as a sleep physician has involved the use of group classes and support group sessions for obstructive sleep apnea, insomnia, oral appliance therapy and nightmare therapy groups. I wanted to establish a support group within our clinic for patients with narcolepsy.
