How do you die of insomnia?!


Question:

How do you die of insomnia?

I'm doing an essay on Fatal Familial Insomnia, i cant find where it actually tells you what the cause of death is after the disease has taken its course. or is anyone has any other information of how insomnia actually kills the person


Answers:

People can only stay awake for so long before it does severe damage to the body
it does depend on the person and their health problems
a person can only stay awake for 8 to 12 days before they will die
most of the time from a heart attack
it messes up their bodies chemistry and with the increases and decreases of certain hormones they can no longer regulate their body function

There is also a condition that some one thinks they are not sleeping but they do fall asleep for few secs or Min's and they do not know it and they do not have any memory of it so if they are doing this while they are mostly staying awake it can add several days to the 8 - 12 days
