[blparent] Has anybody heard these Learn More 924 commercials on the radio?

[Nevzat Adil]

I doubt it if sleep disorder is due to total blindness. I have been
totally blind almost all of my life, only light perception during
early childhood. In my younger days I did sleep very well, but it is
only now that I I am older that I sleep only about 4 hours per night.
I would say that one may have sleep disorder whether blind or not.
People have this disorder as they get older.
Another thing that needs consideration is how physically tired one is.
Many blind people are very sedantic, lacking physical exercise. No
doubt, getting sufficient exercise will help one's sleep.  It works
for me.
As far as comercials are concerned, I do not take them seriously,
because they are produced to sell a product and not necessarily
improve lives.
