Encephalitis Lethargica is the opposite of insomnia, more a comatose state, where people sleep for years and then wake up. I have been researching into the 1917 pandemic through this article. Talking through the states and confusion of the doctors - linking the symptoms with rabies and Parkinson's.
This article talks about how many people were forgotten as nobody could deal with or help patients after their experiences that they died in the hundreds of thousands. I enjoyed this article it explains further the people's reaction and the way they dealt with the unknown - I think I want to give the user the isolated experience of the individual... still unsure about how but the mind experience would be a cool interaction - have to read Awakenings by Oliver Sacks, I think...
