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 Self Inflicted Insomnia mug.The biggest whore in the universe to humans. Takes up all your time and effort just to fuck with your head and then leaves you depraved and indifferent to reality for a long, long time. Can be induced through psychosis, mania, chemical imbalance, drugs such as Cocaine, LSD, Mescaline, Nicotine, caffeine (even though you need a metric fuck ton of it to do so) and Pharmaceuticals (only if you get the rebound effect, which is shitty as fuckkk!)

Get the railspike insomnia mug.Insomnia is a sleeping disorder. There are various different types of insomnia, depending on a number of factors.
Transitory insomnia affects an individual for only a few nights. Short term insomnia may last several days or a couple weeks. Chronic insomnia lasts several weeks or even months.
Insomnia may affect different parts of the sleep cycle. A person with insomnia may have little trouble falling asleep, but find that they wake up after only a few hours and cannot fall back asleep for several more, if at all. A person may also have immense difficulty falling asleep, only to find that they can't stay asleep for any meaningful length of time.
Having a sleep cycle longer or shorter than 24 hours does not necessarily constitute insomnia, however it may be a sign of another sleeping disorder, and should not be ignored. Staying up late and sleeping in is not insomnia either, as insomnia constitutes an inability to get enough sleep, and not an inability (or unwillingness) to get to sleep at the right time. Many people believe that they have insomnia, or claim to have insomnia, who actually only have one of the above problems.

The author of this definition fell asleep at about 8:30 PM last night, and woke up at about 12:00 AM. It is now about 7:00 AM, and he has still not been able to return to sleep, despite attempts to sedate himself repeatedly with milk, music, and masturbation. This difficulty has persisted in a like manner for several weeks. It is likely that he suffers from some form of insomnia.
