Vanda Pharmaceuticals

 

Vanda Pharmaceuticals is a global biopharmaceutical company based in Washington, DC. Vanda works to develop new medicines to address unmet medical needs and to improve the lives of patients

          As a proud sponsor of the NFB of South Carolina, Vanda seeks to raise awareness and provide educational resources about Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder, or Non-24 for short.

          Non-24 is a serious circadian rhythm disorder common in people who are totally blind. It causes nighttime sleep problems and a wide range of daytime difficulties that can affect one’s ability to do every-day tasks or activities. Many people with Non-24 report having an overwhelming urge to sleep during the day as well as an overwhelming urge to stay awake at night.

          To learn more about Non-24, contact Vanda’s Nurse Educator Vicki Preddy by calling 202-578-9060.
