Generator Land: Intro. to INSOMNIA

Title:
Intro to INSOMNIA
Descriptor: long nights, long days
Button: click here

Background: minimalist (white) for the pain of lack of sleep
Format: one slot pop ups

Sample of Results:

CHRONIC insomnia is disrupted sleep that occurs at least 3 nights per week and lasts at least 3 months.
ACUTE insomnia is brief & often happens because of life circumstances
(for example, when you can't fall asleep the night before an exam, or after receiving stressful or bad news)

About 6 percent of people have insomnia according to the National Institutes of Health.

A 2005 National Sleep Foundation poll found that people who drank 4 or more cups/cans
of caffeinated drinks a day were more likely than those who drank zero to one cups/cans
daily to experience at least one symptom of insomnia at least a few nights each week.



Concept:
The title means the results will be basic statement about insomnia [lack of sleep].
The descriptor implies that when a person lacks sleep
(is awake most of or much of the night)
time stretches on and that the daylight hours following a sleepless span
will seem very tedious/long as well.
The button is a directive. It is simple because a fancy or mysterious one
would have been irritating to a tired person.

The background is Minimalist (white). To me, being awake for long periods of time,
when you want to be sleeping, is like having a bright white light inside your head.
My head, actually.
I don't know what it's like inside your head.

Also, the white background reminds me of the lifting of darkness
when I have been awake through out the night and didn't want to be.
It is disappointing to see that the comfortable thick darkness has
gone and daylight is back and I am not waking up,
because I haven't been asleep.

The idea is to present basic facts about insomnia.
