The Bedtime Story Insomnia

Luckily I do not lose sleep but so far my project seems to be sleeping.

I have reached to many online sites posting both my story and asking for others to be part of the project, emphasizes that is not only my project but I wanted to create a project for everyone. Below are the links to some of the sites.

my profile- maybe people can help me re-word

This is an example of an email that I sent out to a view individuals, sometimes generic but sometimes more personal:

Hello,

My name is Emeri and I haven’t slept most of my life. For the past four years I sleep about 2-3 hours a night and go at least two night without sleep but that is just the beginning of my story. I found your story very interesting and I have been looking for people to share their stories for a project I am doing in Grad school. It is just not a project for me it is more of personal journey. I had created a sound piece over four nights that I did not sleep. Once I had shared the piece, the responses I received were filled with both intrigue, amazement, disbelief and told I had a lot of courage to share it. I was asked to see if I could continue an oral history of real peoples stories of insomnia. But I do not want this only to be my project but one of collaboration, I welcome all ideas, all forms of stories, videos, photos, basically anything that as individuals helps share, accept, meet others that share a common situation.

I was moved by your story because it is something that is not only your story and life my mine as well. I noticed you said you draw alot. It would be amazing if you would be willing to share your art work for this project. Everything can be anonymous if you would like. I think you have a gift for words and I could imagine your art would also be amazing.

Here is the link to my story.

There is no pressure and this is not spam I promise you I am a real person up at 1:02 am, looking for others in what I think is a very interesting and could help or effect everyone all in different ways.

If you have and ideas or would like to help in any way at all please write me back.

Thanks-so much,
Emeri Audra
