Hi my name is Andy,
six years ago my mum had a car crash where a young man was killed, two
weeks after the accident my mum had her first epileptic fit which was
very scary for her and for my family since then my mum has suffered
from long periods of depression that have led to insomnia. My mum's
lack of sleep effects her in all sorts of ways consequently the whole
family has suffered along with my mother and has put massive strain on
my father. For the past six years I have become encapsulated with the
cause and effects of insomnia to the individual and the family I am in
my last year of a degree studying screen production and I am looking
for an individual who suffers from insomnia but to a higher level of
severity to follow and observe over a month period. My reasons for the
documentary are I know how such a condition can affect some ones life
and it is incredibly upsetting, I feel the need to bring awareness to a
condition that receives very little recognition in today's society
there fore very little sympathy is given to those who suffer. At the
moment I am in the research stage of this documentary and am simply
looking for people to talk to or for people to me in touch with friends
of family who suffer from such a horrible condition so any feed back
would be fantastic.

Thank you for your time
Best wishes
