Insomnia
Insomnia is a symptom of any of several sleep disorders, characterized by persistent difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep despite the opportunity. Insomnia is a symptom, not a standalone diagnosis or a disease. By definition, insomnia is "difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep, or both" and it may be due to inadequate quality or quantity of sleep. It is typically followed by functional impairment while awake. Both organic and non-organic insomnia without other cause constitute a sleep disorder, primary insomnia. According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services in the year 2007, approximately 64 million Americans regularly suffer from insomnia each year. Insomnia is 1.4 times more common in women than in men.

他们突发奇想，去了北卡来罗那州海岸沙丘上的一个小宿营地度假，给自己匆忙赶制的滑翔机做一些修补。
2.他们来到了吉蒂霍克，在向南往阿尔伯马勒海峡近海的哈特拉斯角延伸的大沙丘和沙岸上，有一片辽阔的海滩，海滩空荡荡的。
只有一个海岸警卫队的哨卡，几座渔民的小屋，还有沙丘后面马唐草丛里成群的蚊子、扁虱和恙螨，头顶上掠过海鸥和向下俯冲捕食的燕鸥，傍晚，鱼鹰和鹤拍打着翅膀飞过盐沼，有时，莱特兄弟的目光追随着在天空翱翔的鹰，一如几个世纪前列奥纳多睁大锐利的双眸，以领悟飞行的原理。
3.开车往返于城市之间的人民驶过田头，听到老式的莱特发动机发出连续不断的怦怦声，看到白色的双翼飞机像一对摞在一起的的熨衣板在空中足足飞了50英尺，这时他们总是惊奇地把脖子伸出窗外张望。
4.随着飞行时间的延长，莱特兄弟找到了赞助人，官司缠身，他们每晚躺在床上不能入睡，仿佛听见数百万美元在哀嗥，这比吉蒂霍克的蚊子还要烦人。
