Happy Birthday! Not your birthday? Doesn't matter, Dawn's got a feel-good gift for you anyway, and the science behind why giving one away might be the fastest mood boost you have access to.

In Daily Dose 6, Dawn explains how living with narcolepsy means constantly working to regulate hard feelings, and one of her go-to tools: taking the focus off herself entirely.
