Announcement:
Do you ever feel like your sleep patterns are different than the rest of the
world? Do you sometimes feel the unwanted urge or need to fall asleep during
the day time when you need to be awake? Do you also find that you feel just too
wide awake to fall or stay asleep during the night time? If you are blind, this
could be due to a real sleep problem related to the lack of light needed to keep
your body’s internal clock in sync with the day and night cycle. If you or
someone you know might be affected, please call 1-888-389-7033 or email
info@non24registry.com to learn about an ongoing clinical research study that is
evaluating a new investigational treatment for this type of sleep problem. When
calling or online at www.non24registry.com , you can also complete a short sleep
survey. For each completed survey, $25 will be donated to an organization that
supports individuals with blindness. You may be eligible to participate in the
clinical trial if you are between 18 and 75 years of age and are totally blind.
Volunteers will be compensated for their participation in the clinical study and
will receive study related medication, medical evaluations, and transportation
at no cost.
