Publisher's Synopsis
What if your greatest challenges could become your greatest strengths? Well, guess what? They can!
You have big dreams...
Yet obstacles, fears, and even your own body might be holding you back. It's overwhelming, and it's far less scary to hit the snooze button, roll back over, and carry on living life as you know it...
But your fear is what's really holding you back... and you can overcome it!
Living with narcolepsy and cataplexy, Michelle Weger knows this struggle all too well-but she turned her toughest experiences into fuel to power her success.
Don't Snooze Your Dreams is not only a memoir but also a powerful self-help guide for anyone facing obstacles in life. With humor, heart, and hard-earned wisdom, Weger takes you on her extraordinary journey-from managing a rare debilitating sleep disorder to launching a successful business and becoming an advocate for narcolepsy awareness.
But this book isn't just for people with narcolepsy or with a disability. Michelle's insights go far beyond her personal experience. Her lovable Great Dane serves as her medical alert service dog and constant companion, reminding readers that help comes in many forms.
Michelle's story is filled with funny and heartwarming moments that will keep you turning the pages, but it's also packed with practical strategies for overcoming your own fears, no matter what challenges you face.
