I love this poem. #becausetheymatter #hopeforwildlife #empathy #environmentday2019

[Roots of Empathy @RootsofEmpathy]

On #WorldEnvironmentDay a repost of ours that reflects our hope for our world, ourselves, our children and the people they will become...🌱🌻🌎

Why is there not a national database for vaccines?! 😮 Should we not have this important information documented and irganized? #vaccines #immunity #publichealth

[Sheila Coutts @nappingnightowl]

This is real. I also have difficulty with word finding and if I get too tired slurred speech. It doesn't happen all the time. Of I nap every 4 hours or so and pace myself it's not too bad. #lifewithnarcolepsy #narcolepsy

[Sheila Coutts @nappingnightowl]

@Dealbreaker16 Very sorry. That's rough.

[Sheila Coutts @nappingnightowl]

I don't think people realize how much having Narcolepsy affects employment and economics. I am still underemployed because my options are limited. Retired but still love working. #Narcolepsy #sleep #disabilities

Canada needs a rare disease strategy.

Sweet ❤ Mama is likely close by but she will leave him for many hours at a time. He is safer without mom who will attract predators. Good reminder for people to not "fawn nap". Call a wildlife rehab center with questions. #becausetheymatter

as we usually do when we get home, wandered around the property and we found this little one

[Sheila Coutts @nappingnightowl]

❤Such a tragedy. A tree for each family member would be nice.

[Dal Nursing @DalNursing]

A granite marker and tree were planted today near the HFX Oval in memory of the 7 Barho children who tragically lost their lives this past winter. 2 SON students Nichole Gloade & Sally Sukkar collaborated w the Barho family and their Iman to organize the remembrance @DalhousieU

Should say " felt" "less than"

[Sheila Coutts @nappingnightowl]

I'm a very confident person who is comfortable in the health care setting yet... I have felt patronized and "less than" in many encounters with health care professionals. I'm a nurse and it makes me upset when I see rude behaviour by HCP.

[MaggieK 🇨🇦 @MaggieKeresteci]

This resonated with me as I consider fundamental importance of relationships in #healthcare. #Patients & #caregivers often fear conflict, adversity & compromised care when speaking our truth. Let's build relationships in healthcare that encourage & welcome all voices #ONhealth

@newmansbrain @DrCChambers @SAGEpsychology Congrats!

[Sheila Coutts @nappingnightowl]

Very interesting. I have definitely supressed emotions i because of cataplexy. My normal trigger is anger or complete exhilaration. I once collapsed when a infectious disease Dr. was telling me of some exciting new research! A true nerd. #Narcolepsy #sleep

#nursingleadership !

[Dal Nursing @DalNursing]

"The school (Dal Nursing) recognizes that we need nursing leadership, in policy and setting the direction for how health care is delivered in this country." @MarthPaynter https://t.co/YkIh7lhgg5 @MisenerRuth @gailtomblin @canadanurses @F_Trudeau_F

[Sheila Coutts @nappingnightowl]

A relative in his 20s has been trying to get a referral for a sleep consult for several years. Finally saw a sleep specialist. Always dismissed by Drs.This smart, motivated kid was self- advocating. Now at risk of losing his job. Shame. #sleep #mentalhealth

[Sheila Coutts @nappingnightowl]

Proud to be a Dal grad!

[Dal Nursing @DalNursing]

Sleep matters to all of us. Young. Old. Weak. Strong. Keep the dialogue going. Our brain, our heart, our immune system and our lives depend on healthy sleep. #Narcolepsy #sleepmatters #sleepeducation

[Project Sleep @project_sleep]

Just FOUR months until the inaugural #WorldNarcolepsyDay on Sept. 22, 2019! We cannot wait to celebrate with colleagues and co-advocates around the world to raise critical #narcolepsy awareness on a global scale. 🌍🌏🌎https://t.co/b9yYJalZJk

[Sheila Coutts @nappingnightowl]

So important. Don't forget the importance of having sufficient, good quality sleep for mental health. Start young and get teens engaged in the topic. They are interested.

[MentalHealthLiteracy.org @mh_literacy]

Since 2012, we have worked hard to provide #evidencebased professional learning for teachers. Our course, Bringing Mental Health to Schools is a great example of this -- available to all educators across Canada through @UBC. https://t.co/aQAVjoes8D #getliterate
