Research notes
Created 2026-10-24 by an AI research pass for #103 (A1); not reviewed by a person. narcolepsynetwork.org returned an empty page when fetched, so no official page was opened and whether the day still runs in 2026 is unconfirmed (endYear null is a guess). Start year 2013 is the earliest date seen (search results mention 9 March 2013); it may be older. To verify: start year 2013; 31 states, 17 governors, 12 mayors (2017).
