An old story, but I was surfing through Youtube today and found a documentary by Discovery Channel about this disease. It runs in families and those who develop it cannot sleep at all. Eventually, the insomnia and exhaustion kills them.
What do you think? Apparently, even sleep medications and induced comas do not work, as stated in the Wiki article
