Hello Sue and others
We have just put in place a wake-up call (literally) for one of our
students with mental health difficulties, as their tendency to oversleep
is so bad that it would prevent them actually pursuing their
course....giving rise to a substantial,long term adverse effect on
day-to-day activities. Apart from this prompting, no other academic
support was recommended. They seem more than happy with this
arrangement and haven't missed a lecture yet.

Subject: Sleep Apnea/Insomnia
Hi,
Does anyone have a view on whether Sleep Apnea/Insomnia would constitute
a disability? The combination of this and the medication that the
student takes causes him to be very drowsy and he sometimes then
oversleeps, meaning he misses morning lectures....
