Insomnia

I'm the insomnia fupping master. I once survived 67 hours without sleep on my way back from NZ. Long and fascinating story.

The one thing that makes insomnia worse is googling it when you're jetlagged, feel like death, can't sleep and don't know any better when the first thing that comes up is "Fatal Familial Insomnia"

It's like a form of CJD that disrupts the sleep/wake cycle. The damn thing is people do sleep with it. It's only called an insomnia because some quack doctor was studying 'patient zero' in the 1800s and just called it that based on him appearing to be awake 24/7 and unable to walk.

And somehow, the name's survived for over 150 years, mainly because it is such a rare disorder and thus under the radar and not subject to scrutiny.

It only affects about 20 families overall worldwide. Most of whom are from the Venezia area it seems. You are likelier to win the lottery ten weeks running than have FFI.
