The above template "IT5L"  ( Instant Temporary 5 Lines) is for depicting concepts which change without a significant noticeable transition period from one state to another ( i.e. instantly, suddenly )  - with the potential to return to the original state.
e.g.
The light is off ( continue state )  I turn it on ( instant change ) The light is on ( alternative continuous state ) I turn it off ( instant change) The light is off again ( continuous state ).
  Asleep > Wake up > Awake > Fall asleep > Asleep again.

The template above  has 5 text boxes positioned in the middle of each of the 5 lines.
The one below has 11 - positioned at the beginning middle and end of each of the 5 lines.

N.B. The templates follow the generally accepted conventions in similar graphic representations that :
- time flows from left to right along the lines. 

- degree increases upward, and decreases downward.  - positive = up , negative = down
