Nightfam! What if I told you there's a condition so rare, so terrifying, that it literally makes it IMPOSSIBLE for you to sleep... until you die?

Fatal insomnia isn't just regular insomnia. It's a devastating genetic disorder where misfolded proteins attack your thalamus—the brain region controlling sleep.

The progression is heartbreaking: you start with difficulty falling asleep, then vivid dreams take over, followed by hallucinations and panic attacks. Eventually, complete insomnia sets in with rapid weight loss and dementia.

And the most terrifying part? There is NO CURE. Once symptoms begin, most people have just 18 months left.

So tonight, when you climb into bed, remember just how precious that seemingly simple ability to fall asleep truly is. Because for some people, it's literally impossible.
What's keeping YOU up at night, Nightfam?
