Our first meeting was awesome, thank you to everyone who came! There were six of us and it was very open and fluid, and we all got to share stories and questions.

Nonetheless, it is challenging to have a six-way conversation with so many interesting and varied topics! I also want people to be able to easily arrive late, or leave early, as they may wish, so I broke things into chunks with an agenda to keep us organized and have easy entrance/exit points.

Please forgive the formality of it, as I think it will serve our purpose well!

    It was very good for me to hear other's experiences. It helps put things in perspective. I learned some new areas to research. Knowledge is power. ;o ) thanx, once again, Ali, for taking the time and putting in the work!

      “ Great meeting! Lots to chat about! ”
    • “ I thought this was a great meeting of "Niteowls" "Lunarfolks". We talked about various techniques and Rx we had tried to cope with our situations. We shared stories about experiences we'd had at jobs where peeps expected us to be shinyhappypeople at the crack of dawn and how we advocated for ourselves in these situations.We also discussed the types of diagnostic tests we'd been through like apnea/sleep studies. For me, it was good that my first meeting was small because I would probably talk less if there were more people. ”
