Sleep disorder study


Announcing an upcoming sleep study focusing on 
totally blind individuals. The Light House 
International of New York and the New York Eye 
and Ear Hospital Are looking for blind 
individuals with no light perception to 
participate in this study.  Do you have problems 
sleeping or trouble with daytime sleepiness? If 
you qualify would you like to earn $1500 while you sleep?

Non-24-hour sleep wake disorder occurs in some 
individuals who are totally blind and lack the 
light sensitivity necessary to reset the “body 
clock”.  This can lead to problems with sleep 
and/or daytime excessive sleepiness.

You can help researchers understand non-24-hour 
sleep wake disorder by taking a brief phone 
survey. In addition, you will have the 
opportunity to be informed of upcoming clinical 
studies recruiting in your area.

Survey Participants Need to:

·        be over 18 years of age

·        be blind with no light perception

·        have sleep problems and/or daytime sleepiness


Collected information will be kept strictly confidential.



If you want to participate in the study, please 
call Katy Tai at 212-979-4251 or toll-free

1-212-821-9499, Monday-Friday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM ET.
