Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Vanda Pharmaceuticals is dedicated to raising awareness of Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder (Non-24) and supporting the blindness community. Non-24 is a rare circadian rhythm disorder affecting up to 70% of people who are totally blind. People living with Non-24 experience excessive daytime sleepiness and nighttime sleeplessness, which leads to impaired social and occupational functioning. This is due to the misalignment between the internal master body clock and the 24-hour day.
Come visit us at our booth to learn about Non-24 and sign up for additional information!
Call a health educator toll-free at 1-855-856-2424. 24 hours a day, every day.
