  • Summary

  • Is napping an unwelcome symptom of narcolepsy or a helpful treatment? In today’s episode, we speak with Dr. Luis Ortiz and Mary Murray about how we make space for naps in our busy daytime lives, especially in a culture where sleeping is laziness or weakness. About our Guests: Luis E. Ortiz, MD is a pediatric sleep specialist at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida.
