FREE VIRTUAL WORKSHOP ON SLEEP DISORDER
Join Florida Outreach Center for the Blind, Inc. and our guest speaker, Vicki Preddy, MSN/RN. She will discuss “Non-24”, a rare circadian rhythm disorder that appears when someone’s internal body clock is not operating in alignment with the 24-hour external world clock that most people live by. It results in severe disturbances in someone’s sleep and wake patterns. This disorder occurs with high frequency in people with total blindness, but it can affect those with low vision as well.
Non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder is most common in people with total blindness, due to the lack of light input reaching the internal clock. It’s estimated that approximately 50% of completely blind people have N24SWD.
