Fatal familial insomnia and sporadic fatal insomnia differ from other prion diseases because they affect predominantly one area of the brain, the thalamus, which influences sleep. The familial and sporadic forms typically begin between the ages of 30 and 50 years.
Insomnia not only affects your quality of life. It can negatively impact your treatment and increase risks for other physical and mental health problems. For example, cancer-related fatigue, daytime sleepiness (hypersomnia), anxiety and depression are commonly reported in people who experience sleep disturbances.
