    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.

      Literally my worst waking nightmare. Every now and then I have insomnia and 100% of the time I think, “Fuck…this is the beginning of the end…”

      I remember reading that it gets so bad that, even after doctors put you into a coma, you’ll eventually resist that treatment and nothing at all will work.

      @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.
