Here's a link to a recent post on my personal blog about a sale currently being offered by the technology magazine Wired:

If you miss out on that sale, hopefully there will be future sales just like it (probably around other holidays).

Also, Wired's normal non-sale price of $10 per year for print and digital access seems quite excellent to begin with.

Anyway, it's definitely not a magazine devoted to sleep issues or circadian issues, but there are at least some articles mentioning some of those topics. And tons of interesting articles on other topics, usually somehow related to technology. It's actually one of my favorite magazines.

Here's Wired.com's search page, which lets you search the entire Wired magazine archive.

If you'd rather browse the archive instead of searching it, you can go to Wired.com's Site Map page.

I found no articles when I searched the Wired magazine archive for "non-24" (in quotes), non24, "advanced sleep phase disorder" (in quotes), and "delayed sleep phase disorder" (in quotes). Perhaps someday that will change.

However, I searched for various other words and phrases related to sleep or sleep/circadian issues, and found:

• sleep - mentioned in 3278 articles.

• "sleep disorder" (in quotes, which makes the search engine look for articles containing that exact phrase, rather than just any article that mentions either "sleep" and/or "disorder") - mentioned in 11 articles.

• "sleep issues" (in quotes) -mentioned in 5 articles.

• "sleep issue" (in quotes) - mentioned in 2 articles.

  
  

• "delayed sleep phase syndrome" (in quotes) - mentioned in 1 article. (An old name for Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder.)

• "advanced sleep phase syndrome" (in quotes) - mentioned in 3 articles. (An old name for Advanced Sleep Phase Disorder.)

• insomnia - mentioned in 143 articles.

• "sleep deprivation" (in quotes) - mentioned in 88 articles.

• "sleep debt" (in quotes) - mentioned in 1 article.

  
  

• "night owl" (in quotes) - mentioned in 31 articles. (Speaking of night owls, here's a great mailing list: the Niteowl mailing list, run by the Circadian Sleep Disorders Network.)

• circadian - mentioned in 90 articles.

• "blue light" (in quotes) - mentioned in 166 articles. Here's a Harvard Health article on why blue light is particularly bad for sleep: What is blue light? The effect blue light has on your sleep and more. Quoted from the article: "exposure to light suppresses the secretion of melatonin, a hormone that influences circadian rhythms".

• melatonin - mentioned in 38 articles.

  
  

• coffee - mentioned in 3652 articles.

• tea - mentioned in 1266 articles.

• caffeine - mentioned in 393 articles.

• theanine - mentioned in 3 articles. (Tea is a natural source of theanine, and theanine is a major part of what makes tea so fun to drink. Tea with lots of theanine makes me feel much better than coffee does.)

Again, here's the link to my blog post on my personal blog about the sale currently being offered by the technology magazine Wired:

NHLBI Strategic Visioning Forum is accepting submissions, comments and votes until May 15th, 11:59 PM PT

Time Sensitive

I recently posted this at the NHLBI Strategic Visioning Forum, where people can post ideas and comments, and vote on them:

Addition, 5/15/2015, 2:09 AM EDT: I also posted this:

Addition, 5/15/2015, 5:13 AM EDT: And this:

End of additions.

Votes and comments are welcome!

My post is on topic, because according to this FAQ page, the NHLBI (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute) is interested in sleep problems also.

Quoted from the FAQ page:

"3. Why is the Institute refreshing the Strategic Vision?

The NHLBI community has the power to build upon exciting new scientific discoveries and emerging technologies that offer great promise for the prevention and treatment of heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) diseases."

There are also plenty of other ideas related to sleep and circadian stuff which you might like to comment or vote on:

And here's the idea which drew my attention to the NHLBI Strategic Visioning Forum:

Addition, 9:50 PM EDT: This also is a good one to vote for:

I'm sure there are plenty of others that are worth voting for, but, I can't possibly specifically point out all of them, because I have lots of things I need to get done.

End of addition.

I heard about the NHLBI Strategic Visioning Forum via the Niteowl mailing list.

The deadline for submissions, votes, and comments is very close - May 15th at 11:59 PM PT.

Sorry for taking so long to notice or post about the NHLBI Strategic Visioning Forum. I'm afraid I'm going to continue to be usually rather quiet and not at all consistent about posting interesting things, because I'm currently plagued with other things I need to get done.

Also, sorry that Non24.Com and Non24.Org are, for now, rather quiet and boring.

But, fortunately, the Niteowl mailing list and the Circadian Sleep Disorders Network are wonderful resources for people with sleep issues. I highly recommend them.
