Wake Up Narcolepsy

Wake Up Narcolepsy (WUN) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to driving Narcolepsy awareness, education and research toward improved treatments and a cure.

WUN offers free, targeted online support groups to individuals with Narcolepsy and their families, worldwide. Our programs are designed to bring together individuals who have been affected by the diagnosis of Narcolepsy and provide the support and community necessary to thrive. Individuals with Idiopathic Hypersomnia welcome. Our groups are offered as an additional resource to find support through community and should not be treated as a replacement for professional therapy or other mental health services. By participating in our online support groups, you are acknowledging and agreeing to our Online Support Group Release of Liability.

WUN accepts donations to accelerate Narcolepsy research. Since inception in 2008, WUN has donated over $1.6 million in research funds to institutions across the US including Stanford University, Harvard, Boston Children's, Northwestern, Vanderbilt and more.

Thank you to our sponsors for making these groups possible: Takeda Pharmaceuticals, Alkermes, Jazz Pharmaceuticals and Centessa Pharmaceuticals.
