        Accessible World Presents A Discussion Of Sleep Disorders During Our 
Special Program, Tuesday, August 9, 2011

 

Newswire:

 

We all long for nights of uninterrupted sleep. As we grow older, difficulty 
going to sleep or remaining so is a common occurrence for almost half of the 
blind population. Regulated by our internal body clock and determined  by the 
amount of light in our world, restful sleep eludes us. As night after sleepless 
night goes by, you count up  the methods  you've made  and are amazed at the 
number of unsuccessful remedies you've attempted.  If reading a dull book or 
lying in a quiet room has not brought you the rest you long for, what other 
options can you try. It is an established fact that good sleep makes it   
easier to face the day  ahead and  increases your chance for a healthier life. 

 

On the next special program, William Hoos, a representative from Vanda 
Pharmaceuticals will discuss this troubling issue.  Is it really a disorder? 
What percentage   of the population struggle  with  it? Why do sleep disorders 
increase as we grow older? How important is light in relation to sleep? Do  
sleep studies or  clinics  turn things around? Are there some for whom no 
remedy is possible? Is medication the answer, or is difficulty sleeping 
something which  must be accepted?  Are there aids that  assist us in procuring 
the sleep we need which  do  not involve medications? When diagnosing a sleep 
disorder, what information can we record which will   assist professionals in a 
speedy  effective solution? Are alternate therapies possible? Can a sleep 
disorder be entirely cured, and  How many are   their? Does difficulty going to 
sleep or remaining so call for vastly different procedures in addressing this  
challenge? How important are dreams in a good night's rest?   

 

If you wish, you may take a survey at the below number or at the web site 
mentioned immediately after  which may help you in a beginning determinationof 
sleep difficulty.

nights or are just beginning to experience difficulty,    this is a show you

others. Join us for a subject of vital
