Seeking Contributors for a Radio Documentary about Sleep Disorders

    Hi everybody :D

    I am a media student in Dublin City, one of my assignments is to produce a radio documentary. The topic could be anything but I chose sleep disorders/abnormalities (attributed to a sleepless night in which I struggled to think of content), but I discovered it is harder to find people with sleep disorders than I thought.

    I need between two and four contributors, preferably two male and two female and aged under 30 (the target audience has been specified as a young audience and so I must consider ages of contributors in the same manner.)

    If anybody has, or knows somebody who has a sleeping disorder (insomnia, narcolepsy, severe sleepwalking, sleep apnea etc) and would be willing to help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Don't worry, the doc will never make it to radio or anything, it is just a college assignment.

    Cheers :cool:

    Hey I have a condition that both causes and is excarberated by insomnia so I take a tablet to help me sleep every night (not a sleeping tablet in the strictest sense of the word). A side effect of this tablet is *insanely* vivid and bizarre dreams. Like high def movies running through my mind every night, every detail of which I remember. I'm 29 and female. If you'd like to talk to me for your assignment let me know.
