Hi You All

RE: Tomorrow! Learn about Non-24 and plan to join in on the next
instructional call!

 

First: Get this on your calendar- Wednesday May 5th, will  be our fifth
instructional call of 2021. The topic is gardening . Our presenter is blind,
and has completed his certification to be considered a Master Gardener. His
name is Dan Smith; from Idaho. And note; the Zoom numbers found below will
work for both calls.

 

Second: here is needed information for tomorrow; NON-24 sleep/wake disorder!


 

Date: Tuesday, April 20th. 

Time: 4:00 PM ET 

The Zoom numbers will follow the below write up of our topic. Bet you have
seen this NON-24 stuff advertised on TV!

 

Topic: Non-24 Sleep Wake Disorder; our special presenter is- Jennifer Lyman,
R.N., B.S.

 

Nurse Educator-Midwest, Vanda Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Here is what she wrote
as an intro: 

 

Many of you may have heard of Non-24 Sleep Wake Disorder (also called
Non-24). It's a serious & rare circadian rhythm disorder and people living
with Non-24 experience sleep struggles and excessive daytime sleepiness
which can impair social and occupational functioning. It's often
misdiagnosed. Vanda Pharmaceutical has a specialized team of Registered
Nurse Educators who raise awareness of Non-24 through education and
community outreach at events and support groups for the visually impaired. 

 

You don't have to be totally blind to have Non-24, but if you are totally
blind, you are at a higher risk of developing it. Learn how to recognize the
symptoms, how to talk to your doctor or family & friends is what our Nurse
Educators and Health Educators do for those who feel they may need help.
