Poor quality or quantity of sleep is a common complaint, especially in blind individuals with no light perception. N24HSWD occurs in some individuals who are totally blind and lack the light sensitivity necessary to reset the “body clock”. <br>We are working to identify potential subjects to participate in this study and were wondering of any possible ways your organization could assist us in disseminating study related information to possible subjects through venues such as advertising through your organization or scheduling a speaking engagement visit. I have attached a brochure about blindness and N24HSWD which gives more information on this disorder. <br>Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.<br><br>Sincerely,<br><br>Jaime<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Jaime Stretz</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Director, Clinical Research</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The Center for Sleep & Wake Disorders <br>5454 Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 1725 <br>Chevy Chase, Maryland 20815 <br>Phone: (301)654-5665 Fax: (301)654-5658 <br>jaime@sleepdoc.com <br><a href="http://www.sleepdoc.com/" title="http://www.sleepdoc.com">www.sleepdoc.com</a> / <a href="http://www.snoozeorlose.com/" title="http://www.snoozeorlose.com">www.snoozeorlose.com</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>ATTENTION: Care at Helene A.
