Subject: [mcbvi-l] The No Name Show With Him & Her Announcement for November
20
Reply-To: main@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This week on The No Name Show With Him & Her, we are going to talk about
non-24.
Non-24-Hour Sleep Wake Disorder (Non-24) is a disorder that affects the
normal 24-hour synchronization of circadian rhythms. One subtype designation
according to the International Classification of Sleep Disorders is Circadian
Rhythm Sleep Disorder - Free Running Type. It has also been called Hyper
nychthemeral Syndrome.
Many people are unaware that their ability to sleep at night and be awake in
the day is largely controlled by their internal body clock where light is the
primary cue to help reset the internal body clock.
Non-24 is common in totally blind people due to the lack of light information
received from the eyes, which normally regulates the 24-hour day-night cycle.
As a result, in the totally blind, the internal body clock reverts to a
non-24-hour period, causing fluctuating periods of good sleep followed by
periods of poor sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness. It has been estimated
that of the 1.3 million blind people in the United States, 10% have no light
perception at all. Non-24 is most common in totally blind individuals.
Reports suggest that as many as half to three-quarters of totally blind
patients have Non-24, representing approximately 65 to 95 thousand Americans.
The first signs of the disorder can occur at any age and usually happens
shortly after complete loss of light perception or surgical removal of the
eyes.
This week on The No Name Show, we will talk with Mike Maynard from Vanda
Pharmaceutical. Also, Malaina, an end-user of the drug that Vanda
Pharmaceutical developed to help regulate those who have been diagnosed with
non-24 will be here to talk about her experiences and to answer questions.
The phone number for calling live during the show is 616-818-0312. To make
song requests or dedications, call the previously mentioned phone number, or
send an email to requests@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
If Becky can ply Dave with enough Payday candy bars, there may be a couple of
special announcements.
Also, Becky will share her cooking mishap while her husband was gone hunting.
Maybe the segment could be called “Becky’s Cooking Misadventures.” Becky will
also talk about “The Great Dining Out Debacle” that occurred when she went
out to eat with her good friends this past Saturday. If Dave can get a word
in edgewise, maybe he too will have something to share. Tune in to find out!
You will want to stay awake for this show, which airs at 6:00 PM Eastern
every Tuesday. If you cannot stay awake for the show, it airs again on Friday
at 11:00 AM.
