Also know as SII. Self Inflicted Insomnia is a basic lack of sleep caused by your own boredom and lack of interest in sleep. People with Self Inflicted Insomnia could sleep if they so desired, but they don't care to, so they stay up as long as possible, sometimes for days.
A person with SII doesn't necessarily need a reason to stay up. Usually people with this disorder spend their time on the internet, even if there is nothing to do. They'd rather stare at a wall than close their eyes.

Get the notification insomnia mug.1. One result of procrastination.
2. A type of behavior performed during daylight hours marked by extreme procrastination. It is characterized by the shuffling around one's house or dorm for many hours in search of meaningless activities with unnaturally short durations (e.g. getting a drink of water or eating chocolates every five minutes, watching the television, listening to music, or playing a game all for five minutes yet in ten minute intervals). Such behavior is caused by the ever-present threat of doing work and the fear that committment to any other activity might preclude one from performing the said assignment or studying. All actions are results of cognitive processes which derive from a mild form of schizophrenia.
