Dr. Anne Marie Morse is the Director of Child Neurology and Pediatric Sleep Medicine at Geisinger, Janet Weis Children’s Hospital. She has significant clinical and research experience and interest in children, adolescents, and adults with sleep wake disorders, particularly central disorders of hypersomnolence. In addition, her research interests extend more broadly to include investigating the relationship between sleep and neurologic and neurodevelopmental disorders. Dr Morse’s commitment to sleep health extends into the community. She has developed a school-based sleep education and surveillance program called Wake Up and Learn.  This program was developed to provide education about sleep health and perform school-based sleep screening to improve recognition of pediatric sleep disorders in middle and high school students. It has now expanded to include learners in college, medical school, and medical residency programs with a clinical and health plan delivery, called Sleep to Be Well. Dr. Morse envisions a world where sleep can be acknowledged as the vital sign of health, wellness, and performance that it is designed to be.

Statement of Need

Narcolepsy consists of two types: type 1 (NT1, or narcolepsy with cataplexy), and type 2 (NT2, or narcolepsy without cataplexy). Despite differences in cataplexy, both are associated with excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and disrupted night-time sleep, which can lead to significant impacts for patients. In pediatric populations, children with narcolepsy tend to have poor performance in school, which often worsens as subject matter becomes more advanced. Children with narcolepsy also suffer from depression and helplessness, which can lead to loss of self-esteem and negative interactions with classmates. Overall, children with narcolepsy perform significantly lower in health-related QoL (HRQoL) studies than those without narcolepsy. Clinicians must understand narcolepsy’s impact on patients in order to provide necessary treatment.

In this CME Snack, expert faculty will discuss how to better identify the impact of symptoms on QoL and work, school, and/or psychosocial functioning for pediatric and adult patients with narcolepsy.

Learning Objective

Analyze the impact of narcolepsy and its symptoms on the QoL and functioning of patients and their families/caregivers.

Financial Support

This program is supported by an independent medical education grant from Jazz Pharmaceuticals.

Target Audience

Sleep specialists, primary care physicians, pulmonologists, neurologists, psychiatrists, physician associates (PAs), nurse practitioners (NPs), nurses, and pharmacists.
