Speak Without Saying a Word: Narcolepsy Awareness Photo ID Cards

Narcolepsy is a rare neurological condition, impacting roughly 2-5 people in every 10,000. It is characterised by an interruption in the standard sleep-wake cycle, causing symptoms like disturbed sleep at night, excessive daytime sleepiness, and sudden loss of muscle control, known as cataplexy. Navigating day-to-day life with these symptoms can be challenging, making it essential for individuals living with narcolepsy to communicate their condition when needed. A Narcolepsy Awareness card can be a vital tool for this purpose.

Each Narcolepsy Awareness card is personalised to the holder, with their photo and name prominently displayed on the front. The cards also include contact details of two emergency contacts on the back—a crucial detail for situations where the holder may be unable to communicate effectively.
