Request to 20/20
Posted by Roger on November 28, 1998 at 13:21:33:Below is text of message I sent today to ABC news (20/20). I know they've done similar things in the past. I'll post any response I get.
"There are millions of Americans who suffer from insomnia, each and every night. Their lives are turned upside from this, yet the common misconception is that insomnia is no big deal or is something that can easily be rectified.
Not so. A brief search of the web will reveal the nightly agonies as shared by those in the chatrooms. See especially:

There is not only a major story in making this public but in so doing, you could offer a tremendous service to those for whom this malady seems like a hopeless burden and perhaps better sensitize the medical community.
20/20 has been instrumental in doing segments on medical problems. John Stossel would be an excellent resource to bring the issue of insomnia and its sufferers to the fore.
On behalf of many, many people, thank you in advance for your consideration."
