NOUN: A condition characterized by lack of the ability to
sleep for prolonged periods of time, or otherwise extremely restless
sleep. Often, insomniacs have trouble either falling asleep, staying asleep, or having a prolonged
sleep cycle. If you're extremely unlucky, a combination of two or even all three of these characteristics can be present. Many (but not all) insomniacs tend to have underlying mental or emotional disorders that cause (or at least contribute to) the lack of
sleep associated with insomnia.
Also, a pretty damn decent Stephen King novel, if you're into long reads.
Insomnia is the reason I'm writing this after 45 straight hours without
sleep.
INSOMNIA (
novel), however, is the reason I stopped
reading books before bed.
