[Ohio-talk] Fw: local study on sleep and blindness

[Colleen Roth]

Hi JW.

Eric Burghardt sent me this info from Sara a couple of months ago and I asked
at Inner-vision, a religious group for blind people I attend) I also asked other blind people.
I didn't find anyone who had no light perception.
This narrows it down a bit.
I think this is something like the Harvard Study except that you don't stay somewhere for a month without watches or outside ability to tell time.
There are no clues in the Harvard Study. Meals are not set up by time of day, etc.

> Hello.  My name is Elizabeth Adams, I work for Vanda Pharmaceuticals in Rockville, Maryland.  We are trying to reach out to blind individuals and would like to know if there is anyway you can help us.  We are currently launching clinical trials in your area for a sleep disorder known as Non 24-Hour Sleep Wake Disorder.  This disorder affects about 65,000 totally blind individuals in the U.S.  We have been working closely with the NFB on the national level, they have already placed our announcement in their national news letter.  I was hoping you could help me with the local outreach efforts.  I have attached a copy of our announcement.  If you have any questions or think you may be able to help us please call me at 240-599-4538 or email me at Elizabeth.adams at vandapharma.com.  I look forward to hearing from you.  Thank you so much for your time.
