You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

 

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams.

 

 

 

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.
