Lindsay Scola spent years attributing her exhaustion to long hours and demanding jobs. Her talk uncovers the hidden impact of undiagnosed sleep disorders and how proper diagnosis can transform our waking lives. Lindsay Scola is a nationally recognized sleep expert. For over two decades, she worked alongside high-powered leaders across entertainment and politics —including President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama—while unknowingly battling narcolepsy and ADHD. That lived experience fuels her work today. A leading sleep disorder advocate, Lindsay has spoken at the White House and Congress. She’s the author of AI for ADHD: A Practical Guide to Starting (and Actually Finishing) What Matters and creator of the online course Sleep Is The Power Move. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
