insomniphobia

Insomniphobia occurs when you are lying in bed, but you can't sleep (insomnia). When a person is insomniphobic, it means that the person has a fear of not being able to sleep. They might fear insomnia because they know if they don't sleep they will be tired the next day, or maybe they have a big test the next day. The side effects of insomniphobia include constantly checking your phone to see what time it is, restlessness, sweating, and like any other phobias, anxiety and stress.

I had a major case of insomniphobia last night. I was afraid I woudn't be able to sleep before that big test I'm taking today.

Self Inflicted Insomnia

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.

Person 1: I never see you log off, do you ever sleep?
Person 2: No, I have Self Inflicted Insomnia.

Person 1: So you can't sleep? That sucks.
Person 2: I just don't want to, plus my cat is making cute faces at me.
