Scottish Student Needs Your Help Posted: 10-21-05 09:01am
Hello everyone
my name is david mcdaid and I am a
postgraduate student in journalism studies
at the university of strathclyde in
glasgow, scotland.
I am writing a feature article on insomnia
and how it affects the people who sufferer
from it as well as those close to them.
I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to
share their experiences with me?
I am writing primarily for a piece of
course work, and your anonymity will be
respected - although a pen name, location,
at least would be nice.
Here are the kinds of thing i'd like to
hear about what life is like as an
insomniac -
- how long have you suffered from
insomnia?
- how little do you sleep and how does it
leave you feeling?
- how do you spend your sleepless
nights?
- what have you tried to alleviate your
insomnia?
- how has insomnia impacted upon your
life regards work ?
- did you know that some of the most
famous names in history were also
insomniacs? Da vinci, van gogh, winston
churchill?
- in britain there was a tv show that
encouraged contestants to stay awake for
one week to win approx $200 000 - how
does this make you feel as a real
insomniac?
I would be so grateful to any anyone out
there who can help - I have a deadline for
wednesday and need to hear from you.
