Interesting that this is another AfME initiative this time with University of Sussex
"
The annual call for day diaries by the Mass Observation Archive will take on a special significance this year, as it seeks to raise awareness of a debilitating neurological condition documented by previous participants.
Every year the Mass Observation project calls for people from across the UK to record everything they do from waking up to going to sleep at night, repeating a process first completed on the day of George VI’s Coronation in 1937.
The resulting diaries provide a glimpse into the everyday lives of people across Britain, and have become an invaluable resource for those researching countless aspects of the era.
This year the Archive- part of the University of Sussex's Special Collections at The Keep - is working in partnership with Action for M.E. to record people’s experience of living with the chronic neurological condition myalgic encephalomyelitis (M.E.) on 12 May, as part of M.E. Awareness Month."

(BTW: anyone know what happened to this research from last year http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/15525122.Volunteers_needed_to_help_new_research_into_ME/)
