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. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Join Zoom Meeting:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://zoom.us/j/92237336839?pwd=Mm9yTmZDRmxWaGgzZ1cyVjdwcVpPUT09">https://zoom.us/j/92237336839?pwd=Mm9yTmZDRmxWaGgzZ1cyVjdwcVpPUT09</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>One tap mobile:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>+13017158592,,92237336839#,,,,*345# US (Washington DC)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>+16468769923,,92237336839#,,,,*345# US (New York)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Dial by your location:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>+1 646 876 9923 US (New York)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Meeting ID: 922 3733 6839 <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Passcode: 345 <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Respectfully yours,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Robert Leslie Newman<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>NFBN Senior Division, President<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>NFB Seniors Division, Second Vice President<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>NFBN Omaha Chapter, Secretary<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
