Interesting fact . . .
- The record for the longest period without sleep is 18 days, 21 hours, 40 minutes during a rocking chair marathon. The record holder reported hallucinations, paranoia, blurred vision, slurred speech and memory and concentration lapses
and here is at least one benefit to insomnia . . .
- After five nights of partial sleep deprivation, three drinks will have the same effect on your body as six would when you've slept enough
(so apparently with isomnia, you can save money!!)

The rocking chair incident does not answer a VERY important question:
How does sleep deprivation effect one's ability to maintain an erection?
If insomnia screwed that up, I would take any medication necessary to resolve the issue.
