    The Merck Manual link below discusses a prion disease leading to a fatal insomnia.

    About 20 years ago there was an article in Science News magazine about a man who had a fatal insomnia in Italy. It was an interesting account, if I remember correctly after he died it was found on autopsy that he lost alot of white matter.
