In this unmissable Season 3 premiere of Narcolepsy Navigators, we curl up for a heartfelt and hilarious deep dive with comedian and podcaster Sarah Albritton, who opens up about living with narcolepsy type 1 and cataplexy—plus a rare twist: sexsomnia.
From being misdiagnosed as a teenager in Kentucky to becoming an advocate on stage and behind the mic, Sarah’s journey is one of resilience, radical acceptance, and redefining what thriving looks like. She breaks down everything from navigating sleep paralysis and medication barriers to the emotional weight of invisible illnesses—and how comedy helped her heal.
You’ll hear about her solo show Awake: A Narcoleptic, her podcast Sleeping With Sarah, and why she says, “I wouldn’t push a red button to remove narcolepsy. It made me who I am.”
