Please awnser my questions, people suffering from insomnia!!!!

I'm currently a 5th year medical student.My whole life long my dream job was to become a research psychiatrist and I'm currently applying to intern during my June holidays to become part of a very prestiges research team focusing mainly on psychotic behaviours. But in order to be excepted for the internship I first have to hand in my own research paper. Part of my paper is about the corelation between  normal people with insomnia vs insmonia with a psychiatric disorder.
So people with out a psych history,if you can awnser these few question I will forever be gratefull.

1. At what time do you go to bed?
2. At what time do you get up?
3. How long have you had insomnia?
4. Do you wake up during the night and
   If yes, how much and how far between
5. What keeps you up eg. stress,
   anxiety, just cant fall asleep ect.
6. Do you suffer from any other sleep
   Disorders??? And if yes what???
7. Do anyone anyone in you family
   suffer from insomnia? And if yes
   do they have the same symptoms as
   you?
8. Do you take any medication and how
   Often???
9. Does your insomnia influence your
   Mood?
10. How active are you?

I never said I am a doctor nor did I say I am a reseacher. I'm doing a assignment based paper for a 4week job intership not to get a paper published and this is just a small part of it. I don't need to  conduct physical evaluations or obtain vitals or even consent if it's not a real paper. I just wanted to get peoples experience with insomnia so thats my game!!!Do you honestly think my University will let me conduct actual research!!! If that was the case I wouldn't of been on these medical forums. So please get off that high horse of yours, stop acting like the apparent know it all wannabe google doctors that spend all their time searching symptoms on the net and get a hobbie or a job.

Come off it.

You're no doctor and clearly have no idea of how to conduct medical research.

No trained medical student would proceed without first acquiring vitals, medical history, physical examination, and most importantly these days, legal consent to participate in research. Your ad hoc approach would yield meaningless results even if your questions were complete and structured, instead of vague and subjective.

What's your game?
