Why 80% of sleep disorders go undiagnosed | Lindsay Scola | TEDxSonomaCounty
In this powerful TEDx Talk, Lindsay Scola recounts her 19-year journey to finally being diagnosed with narcolepsy, highlighting how 80% of sleep disorders go undiagnosed. She reveals the systemic failure in medical education, where doctors receive minimal training on sleep, leading to widespread misdiagnosis and dismissal of symptoms. Scola emphasizes that societal normalization of exhaustion prevents millions from seeking help, despite the severe long-term health and productivity impacts. Her story serves as a vital call to action for individuals to question their persistent fatigue, advocate for proper diagnosis, and unlock their full potential.
