> *	Non-24 Hour Sleep Wake Circadian Rhythm Disorder is a serious chronic
> disorder that disrupts a person’s sleep and wake schedule.
> *	For people who are blind or visually impaired and unable to perceive any
> or enough light, the body clock and sleep-wake cycle can become out of sync
> with the 24 hour day-night cycle.
> *	People who have Non-24 experience a constant daily shift in the times when
> their body expects to sleep and be awake, creating periods when they may be
> awake at night and want to sleep during the day.
>
