<div class=MsoNormal style="font-size:12pt;">Dear Elizabeth Rival, President of NFB of Connecticut,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class=MsoNormal style="font-size:12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></div>
<div class=MsoNormal style="font-size:12pt;">NFB National has recently sent out information about an article on <SPAN style="COLOR: #444444" lang=EN>Improving Sleep and Alertness in the Blind </SPAN>recently published in the Matilda Ziegler Magazine for the Blind. A little over a year ago, we launched a clinical study to evaluate a potential treatment for Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder. Non-24 is a chronic sleep disorder that affects approximately 50% of individuals who are totally blind. Their inability to perceive light causes a severe disruption of the 24-hour sleep-wake pattern causing cyclical bouts of nighttime sleeplessness and excessive daytime fatigue and napping. The disorder can make it extremely difficult to do well in school, hold down a job or have satisfying relationships. Non-24 has been called an “invisible disability,” and can go undiagnosed for years. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class=MsoNormal style="font-size:12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></div>
<div class=MsoNormal style="font-size:12pt;">Recently, our 24SleepWake website has launched an exclusive new audio series, “Meet the Experts: Sleep Disorders in the Blind.” This 3 part series features interviews with leading sleep experts and covers all aspects of Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder, including its impact on the blind community. The two that have been released are linked below.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class=MsoNormal style="font-size:12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></div>
<div class=MsoNormal style="font-size:12pt;">The enrollment deadline for our clinical research study is forthcoming. Without enough patients in the study, it will be difficult to develop a treatment for this severe condition. Vanda appreciates any assistance you can give in spreading awareness about Non-24. For every person who completes our sleep survey, Vanda will donate $25. Thus far, we have been able to donate more than $ 8,000 to the NFB national and local NFB chapters. See below the announcement about this survey and our study.<o:p></o:p></div>
