well, for me, it dies make life a bit of a trial. There are times, however, when the extra long day turns out to be a blessing. THose times are, sadly, somewhat far between.
Still, I try to make the most of what I can. I also have a strong enough will to stay awake until my next natural sleep cycle. I don't try this often as it can have some serious side effects.
BTW, N-24 is not just a "disease of the blind", its a general disorder that affects a very large number of people, regardless of disability. We, the blind, notice it more than others given our particular disability.
