There are a few prion diseases that are absolutely horrible. I believe one of them causes you to be unable to sleep until you go mad.

@Thavron yeah I came in to say Fatal Familial Insomnia but then I saw how painful some of the other stuff in here is and changed my mind.

Me: Prions. I know what they are, I know what they do. Terrible. I shouldn't look up Fatal Familial Insomnia.

Also me: Yep. I should not have looked up Fatal Familial Insomnia.
